A conversation with a friend the other day reminded me of a time when I was aged 9 and kept reading about kids getting their potty mouths washed out with soap in different novels. We were a gentle non swearing family and I always wondered what it felt like getting your mouth washed out with soap because you were swearing and using foul language.
One day I actually tried to wash out my own mouth with soap at the outside tap to see what it was like. Needless to say it was vile! After a little spit I kept rinsing and rinsing my mouth to get rid of the frothy taste and it actually took until the next day before my mouth returned to normal. Everything tasted like soap.
Perhaps a simple but delightful dish like this one may have cured my soap filled mouth and taste buds.
I do not know where I found this incredibly easy Fried Egg dish but it is certainly tasty and filling.
You simply grate a little mozzarella cheese into a non stick pan, (don't worry about greasing the pan,) sprinkle with a little fresh herb such as oregano or parsley and crack two eggs on top. As they start sizzling sprinkle a little chopped chilli, salt and pepper on top whilst you toast your bread.
Try not to totally cover the cheese with the egg, you should leave a little crispy edge along the side.

Tell me, did you ever have your mouth washed out with soap in your younger years?
Buon appetito, enjoy Merryn xx
