3. In France you can find galettes (savoury crepes). Not traditional, but a great idea is to stack them up like a crepe cake with layers of vegetables and sauce in between. For example, add roasted pumpkin and fennel in a spicy tomato sauce, alternate with sautéed spinach and mushrooms in a creamy sauce. It may take time to prepare, but it will serve you for the week. Just cut a wedge with piece of fruit for breakfast, or for any meal really.

4. Zucchini butter. I don’t know what countrymen or woman invented this but it’s a great idea. Just cook down grated zucchini with some garlic and then spread it on toast whenever. Some cherry tomatoes on top would be great too.

5. If you go to Iceland and stay at a bed and breakfast, you’ll find the central-continental European breakfast foods. Fresh cut cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and slices of cheese, boiled egg, pickled vegetable (often sauerkraut but also beets and celery root). Serve with cracker bread or krisprolls. Meat and fish eaters with find soused herring, smoked fish, and/or sliced meats.

6. In Mexico, you’ll find homemade salsa fresca on over easy eggs. Beans usually accompany the dish.

7. In Israel, a typical breakfast includes salad (yes, salad), low fat soft cheese, whole wheat or rye bread. It’s very similar to the Serbian breakfast pictured at the beginning of the post. I can tell you it’s a delicious, light way to start your day. You don’t have to worry so much the rest of the day about getting your 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables. You got most of them in before noon!

8. In Egypt and the middle east, you’ll find ful mudammas, or stewed fava beans with spices like cumin, fresh herbs, and lemon juice, probably served with bread.
