Yeah. The gap between a good and bad croissant is as big of a good-bad gap as I can think of with any food.
I donāt think those things sold in 12 packs at Costco should be allowed to be labeled as croissants. Ditto anything coming from a tube of refrigerated dough.
Yes, definitely needs to come from a high quality bakery.
Iām also a fan of spicy breakfast. One work trip a few years back one of the guys finished off the evening with creme de menthe (after beer or tequila or something). I told him it was wise to skip the green stuff. He was turning green the next morning drinking coffee while I had a spicy omelet and ladled on the hot sauce.

Someone should come up with a Chipolte concept for breakfast.
He should have had Benedictine.
Eggs Benedict if Iām going out. Otherwise, either a toasted baguette w a little mayo and tuna or tomato, Jamon & EVOO all with my triple expresso con leche. Those would be my favorites, often though it just the coffeeā¦but thatās everyday.
Mine will vary .
But I can say, when on vacation at a resort , is to get a cook to order omelette with various veggies, and lox/smoked salmon (I do it at home sometimes too). When we were on vacation last month I had it 6 straight mornings.
When I was working I would make a 5-6 portion frittata on Sunday, portion it out and individually wrap them. All I had to do was microwave them in the morning and viola- hot breakfast almost instantly.
Normally I have fruit and oatmeal. My favorite breakfast is an everything bagel, cream cheese a squeeze of lemon and smoked salmon with OJ and coffee. Thatās last meal worthy.
Your tinned fish with a toasted baguette would be a perfect way to start a day.
I gotta get with it and do that.
As a ārecovering catholic,ā I am prone to āwait for a more special occasionā to do things. So I still have some from last Berserker day. I think I will load up better and take more pleasure this next BD.
(Used your olive oil last night making saffron rice. Thatās some fine oil!)
Sometimes leftovers, sometimes bagel/cream cheese. This morning I had leftover bucatini carbonara. Added more guanciale and a bit of butter to moisten it up. One way to get your eggs and cured pork product (guanciale in place of bacon) for breakfast!
I typically donāt eat breakfast for a couple of hours after I wake up, especially now that Iām retired. I do have a cup of coffee as soon as I get up.
That is so comforting and much appreciated Anton. Iām having a slow sofa day, as I got my 3rd jab yesterday and am feeling my vigorous immune response kicking my backside. So your kind words are much appreciated.
I love breakfast tooā¦ but on 5 or 6 of 7 days I am so basic about itā¦ hot oatmeal or Cheerios half the daysā¦ eggs and some starch the others. Bagels and lox on the 7th day.
I have to eat breakfast. I rarely eat lunch; but never skip breakfast. At home, my typical breakfast consists of juice, coffee, assortment of cold cuts, bacon, egg (how prepared depends on what the cook feels like making), a bit of bread, cheese, etc. On the rare occasion, Iāll just have a croissant with butter and jam (with my juice and coffee).
I have a full hot Filipino breakfast only on Saturdays to āload upā before golf. Filipino breakfasts typically involve fried garlic rice, eggs (as preferred), chopped tomatoes, and an assortment of sausages, bacon, corned beef, luncheon meat, dried fish, etc.
This is todayās typical breakfast: grapefruit juice, coffee, a brioche bun (bread basket not in photo), butter, cheese, slice of papaya, sliced tomato, a poached egg, some bacon, prosciutto di Parma, IbĆ©rico de bellota (Montaraz), etc.
First real day of vacation tomorrow.
Organic, stone ground grits.
Farm fresh eggs
Leftover Lewis brisket.
I might be too excited to sleep.
