Cheese-forward and slightly sweet, this puls numbers among the quite tasty ancient dishes

Late 19th century pancakes made with buckwheat and risen overnight

Apples baked with butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Simple, yet delicious enough for the first class breakfast table

An appropriately fancy presentation for smoked salmon as part of a first class breakfast aboard the Titanic

Creamy baked eggs with a crunchy bread crumb topping

Called suppa dorata (golden sippets), this medieval French toast (from Italy) is very sweet with a sprinkling of saffron-infused rose water instead of maple syrup
