Crispy Eggs

February 12, 2015

This is one SPECTACULAR take on the poached egg, if I do say so myself!

Esthetically fascinating and scrumptiously tasting, this breakfast is on par.

Hope you enjoy my take on a fried poached egg, a “Crispy Egg.”

    Never ruin a great egg cooking in Canola Oil (rapeseed) GMO oil. Coconut Oil is so much more healthier! Going to try this recipe using nonGMO organic ingredients only. Thanks for the detailed instructions!
