These eggs call for nothing fussy, probably you have the ingredients in the fridge as I write. Promise me you will get up right now and go and make yourself some. They require no fussy hollandaise with its inconvenient leftovers. The sauce created by caramelising the cream is very similar to hollandaise without the fuss. If you are eggacting eggy person, you will love this recipe. There is something very satisfying about an egg that is perfectly cooked isn't there?
We eggspect you will eggree!
(Oh and the toast isn't burnt, we used the Charcoal Sourdough Boule with Cheese which I had just made the day before. Go and get on that train immediately! YUM.)
