When we speak of breakfast cookery, we are not just talking about a particular meal. We are referring to a particular small group of foods that appears on perhaps every breakfast menu. These items are also popular for brunches, snacks, and late suppers. Many establishments offer a breakfast menu all day long.
Eggs, of course, are the most popular breakfast food, and they are the primary subject of this chapter. In addition, the chapter examines the preparation of other breakfast staples: pancakes, waffles, French toast, and breakfast meats.
