It was on a Friday night, I only had eggs in my fridge and felt like trying something new. Why not taking the egg and not preparing them in the same way, hence deconstructed eggs.
I went totally freestyle, combining bits and pieces I saw on videos or on TV. I ended up with very interesting mix of textures, there is lot of things I could improve on this recipe but the main ideas are there.
