Mexicans make the most of their mornings--often eating twice before noon. Many Mexicans have a first breakfast (desayuno) at home, and a second breakfast (almuerzo) about eleven o'clock that is often enjoyed in a restaurant or in the public market cafes (fondas). Desayuno usually consists of coffee and pan dulce (Mexican sweet rolls) and almuerzo is a more hearty meal of juice, fresh fruit, egg and meat dishes, tortilla dishes, hot chocolate, and bread and rolls.
Few countries have as inspired an array of breakfast creations as Mexico does. Eggs are made in dozens of delicious ways for morning meals. Fruit juices and fruits are always fresh. Napkin-lined baskets brimming with fresh rolls and breads are often on the table, and tortillas are often employed to wrap up tasty fillings for a hearty meal.
In the sixteenth century the Spanish brought the first chickens to Mexico, and in time they became part of village life everywhere. The hens provided a steady supply of eggs that greatly enriched the country's cuisine. Now, nearly 400 years later, Mexican egg dishes are among the best in the world. Scrambled eggs with chorizo, salsa, and warm tortillas are a classic combination, and can be interpreted in various delicious ways. Omelets with potatoes or black beans or even cactus make satisfying morning meals. And with the kick of some chiles, you are sure to be wide awake as you start your day.
Mexican cooks also seem to wake up with a sense of humor, for they serve "Lost" Eggs, "Divorced" Eggs, and other dishes with unusual titles, which often derive from a whimsical presentation.
Mexican breakfasts or festive brunch buffets are great ways to entertain and because much of the work can be done ahead, you can enjoy the gathering, too.
