Why this recipe is gentle
The egg is gently poached in barely simmering water and needs no fat for frying. The spelt bread is only lightly toasted, and seasoning stays mild with salt and herbs rather than onion or spice.

Tips
- Fat level, portion size and personal triggers decide how well the breakfast sits with you.
- Keep the water at a gentle simmer so the egg stays soft and holds its shape.
