GIRL ALEX EGGS

My first morning in Paris, Girl Alex made eggs for breakfast and the herbs made them taste unlike any I had ever had before.  The secret is butter, Albert Menes rosemary, fleur de sel, and mad skillet skills.  The Albert Menes rosemary is really special and makes everything taste good.  It's sold both in the Grand Epicerie and the Franprix, it's a right not a luxury.

A French Breakfast

Heat a generous amount of butter in a pan.  Crack up to 4 eggs into the hot butter.  Let cook, then flip, don't be afraid to cut them apart and mush them into each other a little.  Salt, pepper, season generously with Albert Menes rosemary.  Slip onto plates while yolk is still runny.

Serve with warm toast dolloped with more butter and spread with Bonne Maman framboise confiture.  Use toast as an eating vehicle and to sop up any yellow yolk that runs onto the plate.  Delicious alongside a Mariage Freres blue flower, earl gray tea that only has a hint of the bergamot and blends wonderfully with a drop of milk.

Don't worry about the fact that French people do understand toasting fresh bread.  They only toast old bread.
