Buttermilk Chive Waffles with Turkey & Cheesy Poached Eggs

Coddled Eggs with Smoked Salmon & Dill
I’m an EggCentric Ambassador! A friend called me eccentric recently, and I have to admit to being a bit taken aback – I mean I know I may be a trifle unconventional or even Bohemian, but eccentric is usually associated with batty old ladies who boil Brussels sprouts in the kettle, have cat-food on toast,…
