A brief history of the recipe

They represent a way to gather family and friends around the table, offering not just food but also moments of conviviality.

Step by step

1. Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes. Once done, transfer them to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking and make peeling easier.

2. Prepare the baguette: Cut the baguette into slices about 1-2 cm thick. You can toast some of them and keep the rest for spreading with butter.

3. Peel the tomatoes: Bring water to a boil in a small pot. Place the tomatoes in the water for a few minutes, then transfer them to cold water. This simple process will make peeling much easier. Dice them after peeling.

4. Fry the salami: In a skillet, add a little olive oil and fry the salami until it becomes slightly crispy. This will add an intense flavor and a savory taste to your dish.

5. Prepare the bruschetta: Take the toasted baguette slices and drizzle them with olive oil. Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil and add the diced tomatoes. These bruschettas are an explosion of flavors and offer a crunchy texture that pairs perfectly.

6. Assemble the eggs: Once the eggs have cooled, slice them. You can season them with salt and pepper to taste. They will add extra protein and flavor to your meal.

7. Prepare the salad: In a bowl, grate the carrot and celery. Add the mayonnaise and mix well. This crunchy salad will provide a pleasant contrast to the other dishes.

8. Assemble the plate: On a large plate, arrange the bruschettas with tomatoes and basil. Add the slices of eggs and fried salami alongside the carrot and celery salad. You can garnish with a few basil leaves for an elegant touch.

9. Serving: This breakfast pairs perfectly with a berry tea, which will complement the flavors and add a touch of freshness.

Useful tips
- Variations: You can add other ingredients to the bruschetta, such as olives or goat cheese, to vary the flavors. You can also replace the salami with ham or even a mix of roasted vegetables for a vegetarian option.
- Calories and nutritional benefits: This meal has about 600-700 calories per serving, providing a good source of protein from eggs and salami, fiber from vegetables, and carbohydrates from the baguette. It is a balanced breakfast that will keep you full for a longer time.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I use quail eggs? Yes, you can use quail eggs, but you need to boil them for about 5-6 minutes.
- How can I make the bruschetta more interesting? Add some chopped garlic or chili pepper for a more intense flavor.
- Is this recipe suitable for a brunch? Absolutely! This recipe is perfect for brunches with friends or family.
