For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the cracker mixture. Adjust the cooking time of the eggs to your preference for yolk consistency. 3 minutes yields a very runny yolk, while 4 minutes will result in a slightly firmer yolk. Feel free to experiment with different types of crackers. Ritz crackers or even crumbled toast would work well.
