TJ's Eggs Beni

Fresh Bruschetta in cheese/spread section

Sooo.. I love Trader Joes.  And you may also.  But even if you don’t, I suggest you try out some of these items.  They’re my store favorites and I combined them all to make one spectacular breakfast!

A few of my favorite things: individual mini brie cheeses (2 WWpts each!), sliced prosciutto (adds elegance to any meal), fresh bruschetta (in the refrigerated section... hands down my favorite item!)

Ingredients:

From the fridge:

• 1 Mini brie
• 1 slice of prosciutto
• 2 eggs
• Bruschetta (as much as you want)

From the cupboard:

• 1 whole wheat English muffin
• ¼ cup of white vinegar

Throw it all together:

In a small sauce pan, bring water and vinegar to a rolling boil.  Crack each egg separately into a bowl and plop in the water.  Let eggs cook (avoid a violent boil).. I’m not an expert at poached eggs but I gave it about 7 minutes.. more or less depending on how firm you like your eggs.  Note: the vinegar is to help the eggs bind up to make nice, round, poached eggs instead of egg drop soup. 

While the eggs are boiling, slice the brie and prosciutto and divide for two servings.  Toast the English muffin (I use a toaster oven and add the brie at the end to make it melty).  Once toasted, stack the brie, prosciutto, bruschetta and the finished egg (remove from water with slotted spoon).

If by law eggs benedicts need to have hollandaise, so be it.  But I promise this will be so tasty you won’t miss the sauce and it will be MUCH healthier.   Technically you could classify this as two servings but it tasted so good, I consumed both halves.
