A hearty pre-ski breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 2 English muffins or slices rye bread
  • 2 tablespoons Cotswold Double Gloucester cheese (or Monterey Jack or cheddar), grated, or
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

Heat at least 2 inches of water in a deep skillet to a gentle simmer. Add spinach and blanche for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain and set aside. Add vinegar to water (to hold the eggs together). Drop eggs into simmering water. Toast English muffins. Simmer eggs 3 to 4 minutes for soft yolks.
