Summer Breakfasts in Salento

Summer Breakfasts in Salento
When you're ready to enjoy your caffe in ghiacco, pour the espresso over the ice and syrup, stir with a spoon, and drink. Giulia Scarpaleggia

During most of the year, I’m an advocate of breakfast at home. I can toast my home-baked sourdough bread until slightly charred on the edges, wait until it’s just barely warm, then top it with what I fancy the most that day: almond butter and jam, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, cucumbers.

Along with my toast, I take a steaming cup of tea in winter, or a sip of espresso during the summer. It’s my breakfast, my rules, my time.
