Southern Breakfast on the Porch

One of my favorite community cookbooks is Louisiana Entertains – A Complete Menu Cookbook from the Rapides Symphony Guild in Alexandria, Louisiana -  copyright 1978. The first 54 pages of this cookbook are devoted to breakfast and brunch. These menus offer a Southern breakfast at its best! I’ve set the table on the porch for the menu “Table for Two.”

Mimosa

Eggs Sardou or Eggs Stravinsky

French Bread

Dessert Pancake

Fruit

French-dripped Coffee

The cookbook then gives the recipes for these delights. I’ll give you the recipe for the Eggs Sardou today.

We're all set.

Bailey is peeking at us over the table.

Have a seat.

I love the little fruit spoons (far right)

I can see a pretty little flower while I sip my coffee.

Mimosas can be served from the pretty pitcher.

We can keep an eye on the robin's nest.
