I love eggs in all forms, especially when they are soft and runny. I am one of those people who always has eggs in the fridge and I am always looking for new ways to cook them. The beauty with eggs is that you can eat them at any time of the day, not just for breakfast. This dish was so simple to make, yet delicious!
