The Best Conversations Happen Around the Table

The Best Conversations Happen Around the Table

Whether you are planning a special family get together or just sharing secrets with a friend over an afternoon cup of tea, this sweet and savory combination is perfect for those who don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen.

As I have grown older, I have started to appreciate simple pleasures, like inviting a friend over for tea or having the family over for Sunday brunch. Along the way, I have tried numerous egg breakfast dishes, various French, brioche and sweet roll recipes, and a wide mix of side dishes. But none receive as much praise as my Italian sausage frittata, served alongside a freshly baked scone and a dish of seasonal fruit. I think it’s the combination of the fluffiness and cheesiness of the frittata, an Italian version of an omelet, and the light sweetness of the scone that win their taste buds over. The ease of each recipe’s preparation and the make ahead option, always makes this sweet and savory combination a hit with me.
