Brunch does not need to be complicated nor boring. I love eggs, I generally don’t eat breakfast during the week, maybe a quick granola and yogurt. So on the weekends I truly enjoy my eggs but I like a bit of originality so here my 8 coddled egg recipes, super yummy and easy.
You can make your own version by following 2 simple steps:
- use fresh eggs
- cook your ramekins in water bath
