Hey Guys

So its a typical non-alcoholic hangover Monday morning, oops its actually Tuesday (yesterday was a public holiday). Suddenly the amazing relaxing beach weekend away feeling has left us. With no idea how we had not heard even one of our alarms go off. All I heard was the sound, “Crap! Honey I am late for work!”.

In one swift movement I jumped out of bed. Who says chef’s cannot cook in their pj’s? With breakfast time being delayed,  the race to get to work had started & we were last…So as I launch into cracking & whisking those eggs, mum’s container next to my bread bin calls out,” Open me!” Ohhhh yeah! I had found it! (The croissants that mum baked & sent) Ping! Idea! Fill them croissants! A pleasurable breakfast, for those days you feel like a New Yorker. With a coffee in one hand & croissant it the other “Having breakfast on the go!” , but really if you have time to spare, in actual fact relish the moment! Its pretty close to breakfast for a king, uniquely stacked up, all in one.

So I made two different eggs one scrambled, how the hubby likes it & the other poached. Its just divine, especially with thinly carved slices of meat (you can add cold meat, salt meat , beef , chicken or slices of grilled polony) .

NB: The recipes for all the different types of cooked eggs will be on a separate post.
