Breakfasts — Melissa Mercier

The simple flavors in life are often the best. Try and beat this mouth watering breakfast of runny yolks on pear and goat cheese and a few leaves of baby spinach.

It all starts with the right bread. We have a bakery close by that sells ancient grain loaves, our favourite being the quinoa. I get the loaves unsliced as pre sliced bread is often too think and over takes the other ingredients. A perfect soft boiled egg is 5 min for large eggs or 4.5min...

One of my favorite ways to serve eggs, the cast iron frittata. Boil a few baby potatoes. Cook to slightly before al dente (about 7 min if quartered.)

Put a castiron pan on medium heat with a little avacado oil in the bottom, while your oven’s broiler heats up on a medium to low setting.

Mix 4 eggs in a bowl and pour them into the pan. You should hear a sizzle. start loading in your ingredients: quartterd potatos, tomato wedges, baby spinach leaves, shallotte slices...

Try the Jonny Hetherington Essentials Beet Hot Sauce on your favorite breakfast. The earthy flavor is fantastic on eggs and the color contrast is simply beautiful. 

Voila! Essential eggs.
