1. Poached eggs

Poached eggs weigh equal to boiled eggs in terms of nutrition. For making poached eggs, simmer about three inches of water in a saucepan. Crack an egg and empty its content in a cup. Deliver the egg contents from the cup into the simmering water. When you notice that the egg whites have turned solid and the yolk has just started to harden, take a slotted spoon and take out the egg. To add to the nutrition of your breakfast, serve this poached egg with whole-grain toast.

When the egg whites have turned solid while the yolk is still soggy, pour out the poached egg along with some sauce into the dish containing spaghetti. Add some of your favorite herbs for taste enhancement.

A frittata can serve as a cheap, quickly-made, yet delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner meal.
