I know, no meat. Lunch post. Weird. I've been having this everyday for a week and can't get it out of my head. It's simple and satisfying.

Heat a dab of butter in a small pan over medium. Split and toast the english muffin.

Do a tiny dice on the garlic and add it to the pan for about 30 seconds, then crack the egg in. Let the white set almost completely and toss in a few small shreds of the herbs. Salt and pepper to taste. Once the white is set, break the yolk with a spoon and pull the set white in over the broken yolk without completely scrambling, and flip. Take the pan off the heat just before the egg has set through.

Smear goat cheese over the hot english muffin and top with the divided egg.

You could take these ingredients to work. Leave out the garlic, toast the english muffin, microwave the egg in a mug with the herbs for 1 minute, season to taste and assemble. Cheap, fast, yummy.
