cup water  
/2 cup rice  
/4 cup chopped onion  
clove garlic, minced  
/2 teaspoon salt, optional  
/2 cup chopped green pepper  
tablespoons bottled taco sauce or salsa  
/2 cup chopped tomato  
eggs  
/4 cup (1 oz.) shredded reduced−fat Cheddar cheese  
In medium saucepan stir together water, rice, onion, garlic and salt, if  
desired. Cover. Over high heat, bring to boiling. Reduce heat to keep  
water simmering. About 10 minutes before rice is done (check rice  
package for total cooking time needed), stir in green pepper and taco  
sauce. Re−cover and cook until rice is tender, about 10 minutes longer.  
Stir in tomato. Remove from heat, cover and keep warm while poaching  
eggs.  
In saucepan or deep omelet pan, bring 2 to 3 inches of water to boiling.  
Reduce heat to keep water gently simmering. Break cold eggs, 1 at a time,  
into custard cup or saucer or break several into bowl. Holding dish close to  
water’s surface, slip eggs, 1 by 1 into water. Cook until whites are  
completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, about 3 to 5  
minutes. With slotted spoon, lift out eggs. Drain in spoon or on paper  
towels and trim any rough edges, if desired.  
To serve, spoon 1/4 (1/2) of the reserved rice mixture onto each of 4 (2)  
plates. Top each with 1 (2) of the poached eggs, sprinkle each egg with 1  
tablespoon of the cheese.
