Eggs in a pouch!
This is story of several meals that I typically eat when I am on my own. A good egg, a few other scraps of leaves and shavings and I am a happy girl. Mostly it is the egg.
So, after filling my Instagram feed with so many, many eggs, I felt obligated to share some nice photos here and a new version of cooking poached eggs that I picked up when in Ireland last December... I call it Eggs in a Pouch! :)
Simple as the subject, I am going to leave my post today, just as elegantly clean and cut straight to the important bit... the recipe.
Happy Week! :)
