This is as decadent as a savory dish can get. Buttery crabmeat and a poached egg running all over a crusty sliced baguette. Yum. Absolutely delicious. Feel free to TaylorMake your own version if you don’t like crab. Let me know what you come up with.
You will need a toasted baguette or bread of your choice along with a poached egg – If you don’t know how to poach an egg, Smitten Kitchen gives a beautiful step-by-step tutorial – you can see how to HERE
