Egg Recipes

Eggs, of course, can play a starring role at brunch time. If you can find a farmer, by all means buy your eggs from him or her; new laid eggs are a rare delicacy in this day of mega-marketed foods. When buying eggs at the supermarket, select cartons labeled "free-range eggs". Happy hens lay the best tasting eggs.

For a small group, it is feasible to offer individual two- or three-egg omelets, filled with sauteed mushrooms, steamed asparagus, grated Swiss or other melty cheese, minced fresh basil, parsley, green onions - in short, anything you like.
