Everyday French Breakfast- Baguette and Jam With Chocolate Milk

"I lived in Paris for 4 months and in Valladolid, Spain for 6 months as a student and in both cities, the traditional everyday breakfast was this (although some adults have black coffee rather than chocolate milk!). In Spain I lived with a local family and everyone had a variation of this breakfast each day. It really hits the spot and with some fruit it is a well-balanced breakfast. This is a great way for kids to have fun learning about other parts of the world and works well with a class of schoolchildren. I haven't specified amounts for the toppings as that's all down to personal taste."

directions

  • If possible, buy a french stick that is part-baked so you can bake it at home for that truly fresh texture.
  • Cut the french stick in half vertically, then halve each part horizontally.
  • Spread a thin layer of butter over each piece of bread, then top with strawberry jam.
  • Serve with a glass of chocolate milk, or if you want to have a really authentic breakfast, pour the chocolate milk into a bowl and dunk the bread and jam before savouring each bite!

  1. I used a homemade baguette Recipe #457974 and black raspberry jam. Ah, bistro heaven!
     
  2. C'est magnifique!!!<br/>France and Spain are a long way away from me these days..no more hopping across the Channel whenever we feel like it...so this was a real trip down memory lane for me...and one that I, and the children thoroughly enjoyed, and savoured.<br/>Fantastic start to our day-thanks Shuzbud.<br/>Made for THINK PINK-OCT '11
     
  3. What's not to love?? This is simple, quick, delicious, and definately a kid pleaser! I wanted to serve it warm so I tried to buy a par-baked baguette, but was unable to get one. Instead, I bought a pack of par-baked dinner rolls, and they were perfect (I told the kids they were mini-baguettes! Lol). Made for ZWT7-Switzerland. (Vivacious Violets)
     
  4. I love classic things like this. Very easy to throw together in the morning and awefully tasty. Made for Think Pink 2010.
     
  5. I had this for breakfast nearly every morning when I was visiting a farm near Lyon in the middle of France. The milk came straight from the goats and went into big wide mug/bowls where we added the chocolate to taste. The bread was delivered fresh every day and kept in a tall bread box on the floor. Dipping the bread was definitely the way to go. Thanks for posting this "recipe". It brought back such great memories for me.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a primary school teacher living in Bristol, England. At the moment I teach Kindergarten, known here as Reception. I really love my job but it doesn't leave much time for hobbies! I enjoy cooking for friends and aim to try new recipes as often as possible! My signature dish has to be White Chocolate Blondies, as it is my most requested sweet treat, and I definitely have a sweet tooth! Update- 5-5-09: Somebody was very thoughtful and gave me the gift of a premium membership. I can honestly say it made me feel so good! If you're out there, THANK YOU so much! I can't quite believe the generosity... <img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/Copyoftag300-banner.jpg" border="0" alt="Susie's Banner for Newest Zaar Tag"> <img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Recipezaar%20Album/iplaytagin.jpg"> <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/holidaybadge.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"X> <img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Banners/holidayprmr2.jpg"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7505/mybanner4a394ee84d5f0.jpg" > <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/cc-banner-7-09.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
