    • Prep Time: 15 minutes
    • Cook Time: 12 minutes
    • Ingredients
    • 2-4 slices wheat sourdough bread, depending on the size, see shopping tip
    • 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    • 4 ounces, ham or turkey ham, thinly sliced
    • 4 slices reduced-fat cheese, such as Jarlsberg or Swiss
    • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
    • 4 eggs, we like Egg-Land’s Best
    • Ingredients for salad
    • 6 cups spring mix or field greens lettuce
    • 1 cup cherry tomato, sliced in half.
    • 2 tablespoons Girard’s Light Champagne Vinaigrette or your favorite light Italian dressing
    • Shopping Tip
    • Most loaves of wheat sourdough or cracked wheat sourdough have very large slices. If using this type of sourdough, you’ll only need ½ slice of bread for each serving. We bought ours at Trader Joe’s. Each slice typically has about 130 calories.

    Directions

    1. Preheat broiler.
    2. Toast the bread and spread one side of each with mustard. Top the mustard side with 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of cheese. Place all on a baking sheet.
    3. In a large pan filed halfway with water bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the vinegar. Gently add each egg to the water, see prep tip. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until desired consistency. If you like your egg runnier cook for the shorter time.
    4. In the meantime, place the baking pant of open-faced sandwiches in the oven and broil until cheese is melted. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn. Remove from oven, plate each.
    5. In a bowl and the greens and tomatoes. Toss with 2 tablespoons dressing. Divide the salad and top each open-faced sandwich with the salad.
    6. Top each salad with 1 poached egg.
    7. Serve at once with a fork and knife.

      Prep Tip
      To ensure that the egg yolk stays whole while poaching, crack each egg into a custard cup or small dish first instead of cracking right into the pan. This way you can gently slide the eggs into the water.

      Vinegar is added to the water for poaching because the acid helps keeps the egg white intact. Poaching water should be at a gentle simmer. They’ll be a little steam and tiny bubbles.
