“Where’s the egg?” “It’s hidden.” “Hidden eggs?” “Yup” “Okaaaaaay” As I serve a big spoonful out from the dish onto my plate, I can see the partly cooked, partly runny egg peeping out of the bread top. Soft cheese, crispy bread, runny eggs, chunky veggies and soft bread — this hidden eggs recipe is like an potpourri of textures. Together with a mix of spices, it enables a healthy and tasty start of the day. We are slowly making food traditions in our little home. One that I enjoy most is that ‘the man’ cooks the weekend breakfast. And my man loves to cook — but it has to be interesting and new. It can’t be an everyday recipe, so every Saturday he would be looking for new inspiration. I see him open the refrigerator, then the spice drawer, then the pantry and then back to the refrigerator. I simply answer questions and enjoy the process. Blessed mornings!
