Breakfast and Brunch
For a simple frittata, lightly beaten eggs flavored with herbs and/or cheese are poured into a skillet, cooked until set, and then placed under a broiler to brown the top. Unlike the French omelet, the frittata requires no skillful flipping or folding.
Crespelle (krehs-PEHL-lay), the Italian version of crepes, are very thin pancakes that are made from a batter of flour, eggs, and milk or water. Crespelle can be rolled, folded, or stacked with a savory or sweet filling.

TIPS ON BUYING EGGS
Eggs sold in supermarkets in the US are packaged in cartons with the USDA shield on them indicating that they came from a USDA-inspected plant. Though not required, most egg carons contain a 'sell by date' beyond which they should not be sold. This date cannot be more than 30 days beyond the pack date. The USDA does require that egg cartons display the "pack date." You can find this date embedded in code on the side of the carton. The first 3 numbers, usually preceded by the letter 'P' indicates the plant number where they were packed. The last 3 numbers is a 3-digit code that represents the consecutive day of the year, starting with January 1 as 001 and ending with December 31 at 365.
Start Christmas Day, New Year's Day, or any special occasion with a delicious breakfast. Or if you are having a brunch with several guests, you can make a few of these dishes for a light breakfast buffet.

SMOKED SALMON
The best known kind of smoked salmon is cold-smoked. The technique turns the fish silky and translucent. Often labeled "Nova" or "Scottish," it's served in thin slices. Although some call smoked salmon "lox", real lox is salt-cured not smoked. All smoked salmon is a good source of omega-3s.
Smoked salmon is a treat with mild, soft cheeses like goat or cream cheese. It is often paired with capers, pickled onions, or horseradish.
