Bauernfrühstück

Bauernfrühstück is a traditional dish that can be translated as a farmer’s breakfast. Although there are many variations throughout the country, it’s usually made with a combination of potatoes, butter or vegetable oil, onions, cured ham, eggs, milk, chives, salt, and pepper. The potatoes are boiled in their skins, peeled, cut into slices, and browned in butter with the onions and diced ham. The eggs are beaten, mixed with milk, seasoned with salt and pepper, and the mixture is then cooked in the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Once fully cooked but still moist, the dish is garnished with chopped chives and served warm.
