eggs Hunter style

Every two years my immediate family get away for the weekend and celebrate our birthdays.  We drive to a huge home, that will accommodate all my siblings and their various offspring, in the Hunter Valley and bring all the necessities to last for the weekend. Eggs are always a favourite at breakfast time and this egg post is dedicated to the Hunter Valley- a wine region in NSW Australia.  These eggs will fill you up for a day of wine tasting and gallivanting around the picturesque country side. I love the tamari addition , a gluten free soy sauce – my mother is gluten free and has been long before it was a popular! So just drop the bread on this to make it gluten free.
