Although France is known for its extravagant dishes and excellent cooking, le petit déjeuner is unexpectedly very simple and is considered the least important meal of the day. Usually eaten outside a charming café, this simple yet delicious breakfast will soon become your go-to.
The key to perfecting this recipe is cutting up pieces of bread “mouillettes” (bread fingers) to resemble fingers that you can dunk into the soft boiled egg. A childhood favorite, this breakfast could never get old!

Coffee, usually café au lait (coffee with milk) is made by adding steamed milk to a shot of espresso in a 1:1 ratio and is topped with very little to no foam. This coffee drink is a very popular breakfast beverage in France and is often used to dunk your croissant or tartine. Capuccinos as well as espressos are also becoming more popularized and are enjoyed at any time of the day.
Le jus de fruits (fruit juice), most commonly orange juice, is always part of the French breakfast and compliments your café au lait perfectly.
