Eggs are an egg-cellent source of protein and Omega 3, they are a natural source of at least 11 different vitamins and minerals and antioxidants; which makes them a great addition to any healthy balanced diet.
This little recipe looks divine; as well as ridiculously good for you. Just looking at it is making me hungry.

Poached Eggs

My blurb went missing… so now I have to bring you a new one. One that is a little broader too.
I devour books, vampires and supernatural creatures are my genre of choice but over the past couple of years I have broadened my horizons considerably.
I inhale music, hair metal that satisfies my inner bogan is where my musical passion lies, but again I’ve been exposed to lots of different music I wouldn’t normally listen to and have broadened those horizons also.
In a nutshell – I love to write! I love interacting with a diverse range of artists to bring you interviews.
Perhaps we were perfect before – I LOVE WORDS! Reading, writing, speaking, listening – if it’s got words I’m there!
Ooh yummy, this looks so delicious.
I love eggs and avocado for breakfast……am liking the idea of the feta cheese incorporated into this breakfast.
Definitely going to try this recipe at my next breakfast. Looks yummy.
Hi Mandy, did you ever make this? So good!
Yes I did make this. I had totally forgotten to tell you. I omit the vinegar when doing the eggs though as I am allergic to it. It’s very yummy and so easy to make too. 🙂
Do you find the eggs still poach OK without the vinegar?
Not using vinegar still poaches the eggs and I’m not left with that vinegar taste. There are lots of different ways to poach eggs these days.
