Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and there is no better way to start your day off right than with a rich and delicious breakfast with the wonderful flavors of Crete.
One of the most important elements of a traditional Cretan breakfast is olive oil. Rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, olive oil is an integral part of the Cretan diet and is often poured over bread or used in cooking eggs.
Speaking of eggs, a popular breakfast dish in Crete is "strapatsada", which is essentially beaten eggs with tomatoes; the result is magical, a breakfast that is full of flavor.
Don't forget to add some local honey to your breakfast for extra sweetness! Greek honey is known for its unique taste in Greece and especially in Crete.
You certainly couldn't miss a cup of Greek coffee. Greek coffee is known for its rich, full-bodied flavor and is a key part of the Cretan breakfast experience, so the next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy breakfast option, try incorporating some of these delicious Cretan flavors into your morning routine. Your taste buds, and your body, will thank you.
