TGIF Breakfast

Good morning to you all! Thank goodness it's Friday (TGIF) ! Well I decided to make a lil sumthin' sumthin' for my hubby before he went off with his day. I'd like to call it "Oeufs Faux Benedict". Otherwise known as a Fake Eggs Benedict. What is fake about it is the hollandaise sauce. I made it up. It's some kind of roux sauce to go over the poached egg. It sure tastes yummy and is actually healthier!

What inspired me when creating this dish was not only my current craving (being 7 months pregnant), but a tiny cafe we discovered this summer. My husband and I would often go to this tiny cafe in Tonga, called Friends' Cafe. We were addicted to this place. It was an escape for us because it probably was one of the two restaurants in Tonga that reminded us of home in Canada. It's funny, yet amazing, how food can do that, bring us to a specific place or time in our lives. The familiar foods we ate here brought us home even though we were many miles away from it.
