This is Jim's Four Minute Egg Sandwich. Garnished with low fat cottage cheese and shrimp it made a very nice lunch for one.
When Mrs. Jim is home for lunch it is just as easy to make for two.

- Defrost shrimp in hot water. We have an instant hot water facet.
- Toast bread. Today I substituted one slice, the top one, for two small and thin slices of Kroger Bakery LaBrea Baked Vienna Petite Loaf Bread with slightly less calorie count.
- While bread is toasting, break egg into a four by one inch square Pyrex baking dish. Whisk briskly with a fork held flatly with bottom side down until yolk is fully integrated. Add Salsa and whip again until fully mixed.
- Cover with paper towel and cook in microwave for one minute at 100%.
- Place one half cheese slice one each side of cooked egg.
- Cut in half and lift piece out with a clean fork.
- Place on prepared bread, I put chopped shrimp and ketchup on mine. (RED for Ruby [Red] Tuesday posting)

These can be reduced by using no-fat cheese and cottage cheese. I do not like the taste of no-fat cottage cheese.
Katrin and Adi were my observers. Katrin was laying on the floor until I tried to get her to pose better. It is unusual for Adi to lay down while I am eating.
On the other hand, Katrin is French and she could be well behaved with us at any French restaurant. Most restaurants there want the dogs to be on a leash,tied to a chair or the table. That would be fine with Katrin although she does not like walking with a leash.
