I've always loved having someone else make breakfast for me. I don't exactly understand why it is, but when someone else prepares my morning meal, it always tastes so much better to me than when I've cooked it up myself. My dad's specialty is poached eggs on toast, much like the photo you see above. His are excellent because he takes care to butter and cube the toast before placing the eggs on top, so that it's easy to get a delicious bite of eggy toast with every forkful.
Thanks to NicnBill for adding this picture to the Slashfood Flickr pool and giving me a chance to recall those morning meals. I may have to talk my dad into making poached eggs while I'm home in December.

I think the phrase 'to die for' is over used, perhaps not here.
Shall we say, 'done to perfection'?
