Crusty rolls with cheese, jam, and a soft egg
🇩🇪 Swabia
The German Frühstück is a leisurely spread built around Brötchen — fresh, crusty bread rolls — split and topped every which way: butter and jam on one, cheese or cold cuts on another, with a soft-boiled egg in its cup on the side. Especially on weekends, it is a table to linger over with strong coffee.
