Not your ordinary poached eggs–these eggs are poached in a cheesy-milk mixture and put to bed on a thick, toasted slice of homemade bread.

This sounds really good, and if I use cream thinned out with water in place of the milk, it would be low-carb if I serve it on a bed of spinach instead of the bread. I’m constantly on the lookout for recipes that I can covert to low-carb, and this one looks like a winner.
