Atypical Czech Breakfast


I found a Czech cafe, which makes its own pastries and breads and also serves One breakfast item: Scrambled eggs.

But to understand fully, you have to know that Scrambled Eggs are NOT something Czechs eat at Breakfast time, in fact, if they eat an egg at all at breakfast, it is Hard boiled. Also, this cafe is NOT anywhere near the Tourist traffic, far from it, so finding Scrambled eggs as a breakfast item in Florenc was a surprise and quite excellent.

This turned out to be very nice. Lightly Scrambled eggs, but cooked, just barely, with a small amount of cheese, cubed ham and diced onions(also barely cooked) with fresh tomato garnish. All Really good; It was delicious.

The 'bun' in the upper corner is a Czech-Slovak specialty called Buchty, and is a sweet version of a parker-house type roll/bun with lots of Plum jam as a filling and lightly dusted with powdered sugar. Unbelievably good and actually quite light as well.
