Instructions

1.Begin by making the Swiss cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add in 1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and whisk until smooth. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then slowly add in 3/4 cup of milk while continuously whisking. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in 2 ounces of shredded Swiss cheese (about 1/2 cup). Whisk until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
2.For the spinach filling, heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a pan. Sauté 7 tablespoons of finely chopped onion until translucent. Add 5 ounces of baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
3.To poach the eggs, bring a deep sauté pan of salted water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of distilled white vinegar to the boiling water and reduce the heat to medium-low. Crack 2 large eggs into separate small bowls. Using a whisk, create a gentle whirlpool in the water. Carefully pour each egg into the center of the whirlpool. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the pan and gently blot any excess water with a paper towel.
4.Toast an English muffin until lightly golden brown. Spread the spinach filling over the bottom half of the English muffin. Top with 4 slices of prosciutto (about 2 ounces) and 2 slices of tomato. Place the poached eggs on top of the tomatoes and drizzle with the Swiss cheese sauce. Top with the other half of the English muffin and serve immediately.
