Egg pockets

Inspiration comes from tasty.co where I first saw the idea of packing fried eggs like this. I adapted the recipe so that it matches my taste and interests – different quantities, whole-wheat flour usage and no butter.

I would say that this is a breakfast recipe for mornings when you don’t rush to work and you are looking for a more sophisticated way to eat fried eggs 🙂
