Breakfast
A typical French breakfast (petit-déjeuner) is mainly sweet. It's often just a tartine (slice of fresh baguette with butter and jam), brioche, croissant or other viennoiseries with a large bowl of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
Here is our family collection of healthy French breakfast recipes, both sweet and savoury, including homemade granola, brioche, crêpes, omelette, cheese waffles and various fruity clafoutis made with eggs. Although included here, the French normally eat French Toast (pain perdu) for dessert.
