My daughters and I made this for 'breakfast-in-bed' Father's Day and it was a big hit. I did not have shallots and used a small clove of garlic instead. I added chives with the parsley as well. Made for ZWT 7 - Food.Commandoes

I had company so served this up and it was enjoyed by everyone. I didn't have shallots, so used red onion instead. Thanks for a nice breakfast! Made for ZWT#7 by a Food.Commando.
