Heart-Healthy Poached Eggs

I usually eat eggs from local, free-range laying hens, and I'll often separate the whites from the yolks to bake for Don. I'll just use about twice the number of egg whites as eggs called for in the recipe. But Don likes this recipe for poached eggs using a commercial egg substitute such as Egg Beaters. You'll need a microwave egg poacher. Don like the Nordic Ware Two Cavity Egg Poacher, http://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Ware-Microwave-Cavity-Poacher/dp/B00004W4UR/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1324176555&sr=1-1. This recipe is for a 1250 watt microwave oven, so cooking times will vary depending upon the power of your own.

Put 1 tablespoon of water in each cavity of the egg poacher.

 Fill the rest of the cavity with egg substitute and secure the top half.

Put in the microwave at Power 6 for 4 minutes and 22 seconds. Let it sit for about 2 minutes before removing from the microwave oven.

You can use the poached "eggs" to complete the Kale Pie recipe, posted below.
