Rise and Shine! This is my go-to breakfast. It instantly makes me happy, fills my tummy and marks the start of a great day. Best part, it is so easy to make. You can’t go wrong with this and it takes like all of 5 minutes to make. Now you don’t have a reason to skip breakfast. If you don’t like the runny center, poke the yolk so that it starts to trickle out and spread and cook it for another 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with toasted bread.

  1. This is known as poached eggs, very popular in Bengal since pre-independnce, not half fried eggs. As kids we used to hear poached eggs very often from my mom and,my aunties. It can be directly done in the work by cracking the eggs without help of any container or cup.

    1. Hi Samita – thank you for stopping by. Poached egg is different – it involves cooking cracked eggs in water and this recipe does not call for that. Hope this helps!
