My first ever attempt at eggs in purgatory…

Yes, that’s right…I hadn’t ever made this dish before. In fact, I had never even tried it before! I have wanted to try it for sometime, but the hubby likes his eggs scrambled and the little guy prefers his hard boiled. Neither of them like their yolks the least bit runny. So, I haven’t had a good reason to make them until now!

…and they were yummy!
