my favourite meal of the day is...

Breakfast!! Why I love breakfast you may ask. Reason is simple, it's the first meal of the day and if you eat well, you start your day well. But tell me who do not like breakfast food? Eggs, sausages, bacon, beans, cheese, bread...the list goes on. Let's just talk about eggs for awhile. There's just so many ways to cook them!

Here's some of my own concoction at home.

corned beef hash with eggs

scrambled eggs in croissant & fried bacon

eggs en cocotte (baked eggs with cheese and herbs)

omelette with sausage, luncheon meat & baked beans

And here are some of my favs at cafes and kopitams.

corned beef set at le bijoux

salami set at le bijoux

otah set at coffee & toast

Eggs en cocotte

Eggs!! I love eggs in all forms except raw haha! There's nothing like Sunday brunch or bacon, toast and eggs! But cookings eggs is actually not as simple as cooking rice. It's all about timing!

Anyway, long story short, I tried this recipe for eggs en cocotte, which is French baked eggs and it's sooo good that I must share it.

What you need (feeds 2)
- 4 eggs
- some slices of ham
- any cheese (cheddar or blue cheese is good)
- 4 tsp cream
- butter
- pepper and dried Italian herbs

Let's cook
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
2. Line 2 ramekins with butter.
3. Cut into ramekins diced ham, grated/lumps of cheese. Season with pepper and dried herbs.
4. Crack 2 eggs each into each ramekin very carefully without breaking yolks. Put 2 tsp of cream onto whites part.
5. Place ramekins in baking tray and fill up to halfway with water.
6. Bake for 10mins. Serve with fried bacon strips and buttered toast. Yums!
