The Egg & Cheese Breakfast Bagel is a simple yet iconic morning sandwich, especially popular in New York City delis and cafés. Warm eggs and melted cheese tucked into a toasted bagel create a satisfying breakfast that’s quick, comforting, and full of flavor.

DESSERT: Croissants
|
|
|
Croissants, though famously French, actually trace their roots to Vienna, Austria! Their ancestor is the kipferl, a crescent-shaped pastry that dates back to at least the 13th century. Legend says Viennese bakers created it to celebrate the defeat of the Ottoman Turks — the crescent shape imitating the symbol on the Ottoman flag.

The flavor is subtle and elegant—never overpowering—when steeped for the proper amount of time.
