How to Make Amorous Poached Egg Sandwich With Swiss Cheese Sauce

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/4 cup (1/2 small) finely chopped onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and stir for 1 minute to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and set aside.
  6. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  7. Add 1/4 cup (1/2 small) finely chopped onion and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 7 minutes.
  8. Add 5 ounces fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Fill a small saucepan with 1 inch of water. Add 1 tablespoon white vinegar and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  10. While the water simmers, toast your English muffins to your desired level of crispness.
  11. Gently crack 2 large eggs, one at a time, into separate small bowls or ramekins.
  12. Carefully slide the eggs into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer for a firmer yolk.
  13. Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  14. Reheat the cheese sauce over low heat until smooth.
  15. Spread some cheese sauce on each toasted English muffin half.
  16. Layer 2 slices of prosciutto, 1/4 of the spinach mixture, and 1/2 a tomato slice on each bottom half of the muffin.
  17. Top with a poached egg and more cheese sauce.
  18. Finish with another slice of prosciutto on top of the egg. Cover with the other muffin half.
