A Dutch breakfast

by Cathy Grafton on 10/10/11

This morning I treated myself to a Dutch breakfast.  My daughter was an exchange student in Holland and while visiting her there, this was my favorite breakfast.  I begin with a slice of whole wheat toast - I had a bit of Poilane country bread from France (but that is a story for another day) which makes great toast then lightly butter the toast, add thin slices of gouda cheese, and slice a (just barely) hardboiled egg onto the cheese, top with salt and pepper.  If only I had a "sweetie" to go with it, that is sort of a sweet grapefruit that we also enjoyed on the trip.  


This open face breakfast treat is just delightful and drew my thoughts back to The Netherlands and I could imagine the tulip fields and lovely countryside that I so enjoyed on my visit there.
