a lighter version of a classic recipe. this makes a great breakfast or snack and is super nutritious.

1-2 tablespoons of goat cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup spinach (frozen package, thawed and excess water squeezed out)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon vinegar (either white, rice, or white wine vinegar will do- red wine if you must)

to make:

2- heat water in a sauce pot (about 1/3 full). add vinegar. bring to a simmer or light boil. crack egg into small cup, mug or ramekin then slowly put it in the water. poach egg for 5-7 minutes depending on how runny you like it.
