Jambon de Paris (house smoked ham) & Scrambled Eggs
From the posh hotel power breakfast to the street cart grab-and-go, New York City has endless options for the morning meal. However, my absolute favorite is the leisurely cafe breakfast where I can truly savor the experience. I recently satisfied my craving at the newest NYC location of the renowned French bakery Maison Kayser (1535 Third Avenue, 87th Street). Two years ago I had the opportunity to interview French Master Baker Eric Kayser - his passion and talent for baking are inspiring.
Stocked with beautiful breads and pastries that you can order to go, Maison Kayser also has a bustling restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My breakfast was simple but perfectly prepared - the scrambled eggs were fluffy and rich. The house smoked ham just might make a vegetarian reconsider. And, don't get me started on those Maison Kayser croissants - buttery, flaky, and addictive!
I enjoyed my Maison Kayser breakfast so much that I was back for lunch a few days later. This savory Quiche Lorraine (eggs, lardon,and gruyere cheese) is a winner.
