Egg-in-Toast

I spent my afternoon making this

It was delicious, made me crave for more and more.

To make this, you’ll need:
1. White bread
2. Egg
3. Butter/Margarine (Butter is preferable)
4. Salt and Pepper (optional)
5. Meltable Cheese (optional-I used cheddar)

Really, it’s that simple. I didn’t use salt because I used salted butter which is usually salty enough.

The steps:
1. Cut the hole in the centre of the bread (I used the rim of a glass to do this).
2. Heat butter until melted in the skillet and brown one side of the bread.
3. Flip the bread over (with brown side on the top), add more butter into the hole and crack the egg inside.
4. Turn the heat down, cook on low heat just until the egg is set and not runny anymore, if you intend to make it sunny side up like the way I did, do not flip the bread, just let it cook through that way.
5. Sprinkle the egg with salt and pepper.
6. You’re done.

Actually, I topped it with melted cheese, but I took the picture before I added the cheese for the sake of aesthetics, so that you can see the perky egg yolk on the centre! 😀 It looked messy after I added the cheese, but it did taste really good!! Melted cheese goes really well with egg-in-toast. Yummy!

Bon Appétit!

Review of Lindt Excellence 85% Dark Chocolate

Warning!! Camwhore detected!

I had been craving dark chocolate for weeks. Finally today I decided to buy this when I did grocery shopping after I got a facial at Liz Clinic. Got injected with steroid on some cystic spots, hurt badly! Okay, back to the topic, despite being an avid fan of dark chocolate, I had no idea what 85% dark chocolate tasted like, so I decided to have a taste.

Since I had no idea about the intensity, I bit a large chunk of it. Disaster! Bitter as hell!! But I trust Lindt as a world class chocolatier, so instead of blaming the chocolate bar, I thought I must have eaten it in the wrong way. So, after washing down my mouth and my throat with water to neutralise the unpleasant bitterness, I gave it the second bite, but now, I nibbled it slowly in a small bite, felt the flavour and aroma released inside my mouth, and let it melt gracefully without trying to chew it (which will obviously ruin the pleasure). The result was great! The chocolate went down smoothly without being bitter in a harsh way. I describe the flavour as powerful, rich, and earthy, yet creamy and smooth. But, due to the intense taste, I recommend you eat it slowly, enjoying every nibble with all your senses.

Outstanding and definitely worth trying, if you love dark chocolate as much as I do! It beats the oversweet Silver Queen dark chocolate all out. The only downside is the price which is quite pricey for my humble wallet.

However, even though I gave 8.5/10 to this chocolate, it’s still a little bit too heavy for my liking; I reckoned the 65%-75% ones would be perfect.
