One Local Summer Week 2: Poached Eggs, Canadian Bacon, Spinach and SarVecchio Parmesean

So Sunday morning while working in the yard I made a mental note that I absolutely had to get my One Local Summer blog post up and e-mailed to the regional coordinator in time for inclusion in this week’s mass posting after missing the deadline last week.  Then the day gets hectic and next thing I know it’s 9:30pm and I missed the deadline again.  Which is unfortunate because I had the bulk of the post completed.

To be honest this isn’t exactly all local.  For instance I have no assurances that my eggs were actually from Wisconsin even though there are several Organic Valley farmers here and they are based out of LaFarge.  I really wanted to do this with eggs from the Waukesha Farmers’ Market but I went on Saturday and he was all sold out by 9:30.  Also I used Naan bread, which isn’t local at all.  It’s made in Chicago and I am certain the raw ingredients didn’t come from anywhere around here.  And while Nueske’s is one of the best producers of pork products in the Country, I cannot confirm (nor do I plan on confirming) that the pigs came from Wisconsin farms.  However I do know that the spinach, micro greens, garlic and SarVecchio Parmesan (winner of the 2009 United States Cheese Championship) are all from Wisconsin.  So here is a half-hearted attempt to eat local this week.  I promise next week’s menu will be better.

Poached Eggs with Canadian bacon, wilted spinach, and SarVecchio Parmesean

Pretty simple: Poach eggs to desired doneness, brown canadian bacon, toast bread, sautee spinach with some garlic in olive oil, assemble, grate cheese over eggs, top with micro greens.
