A crusty roll with a soft egg, butter, and jam
🇦🇹 Vienna
The Wiener Frühstück is the Viennese café breakfast in miniature: a crusty Kaisersemmel roll, a soft-boiled egg in its cup, good butter and apricot jam, and a Melange — Vienna's answer to the cappuccino. Unhurried and civilized, it is meant to be enjoyed with a newspaper and no rush at all.
