For the crack – Breakfast

We’ve put all our eggs in one basket here for cracking takes on breakfast, but add wine and salad and they’ll serve you well at any time of day.

Egg sandwich as a lovely breakfast

This ultra-simple sandwich breakfast is our take on the signature served at Hong Kong’s Australia Dairy Company. Shaved leg ham would add another dimension, as would toasting one side of the bread slices, but we love the simplicity of this straight-up version. It’s definitely a case of a dish being greater than the sum of its parts.
