"This recipe found @ realsimpledotcom is a clear sign of the times in the culinary world, proving once again that "everything old is new again". As far as I can determine, the origin of this classic & simple recipe can be traced back to the 1890's & has endured in much the same form for its 125 yr history - Until now. Siggi likes this simple dish more than me, but this makeover has renewed my enthusiasm to try it again. ENJOY!"

I scaled this back for one and enjoyed it for lunch today. What a great treat. Love eggs in a hole, this is a nice alternative. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I will enjoy again and again. The salmon and creme fraiche take it over the top. Made for Think Pink 2017.
