Breakfast
A typical French breakfast (le petit-déjeuner) is simple and mostly sweet: bread with butter and jam, brioche or a croissant, served with coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Many also enjoy fresh bread with cheese - no recipe needed, just good ingredients.
Here you’ll find easy French breakfast recipes along with healthier, low-sugar ideas inspired by the French way of eating - from crêpes and baked treats like banana bread and muffins that work just as well for breakfast or teatime.
