I fell in love with muesli in Switzerland this summer. The Swiss really know how to do breakfast. Everywhere I stayed, I woke up to a breakfast spread with fresh-baked breads, soft-boiled eggs, an array of cheeses and charcuterie, poached fruit, fresh berries and currants...but nothing was as good as the muesli. I tried to reproduce the same dish back home in California, but I never could get it quite right. I really missed the shiny red currants that were ubiquitous in Switzerland, but I only was able to find dried here. Finally I decided to stop trying to approximate the Swiss version and just made up my own, replacing the currants with pomegranate, among other things. Good choice. I think I like it even better. - linzarella —linzarella
For every indulgent holiday breakfast, there should be at least one on your repertoire that should make you feel virtuous… So that you can eat all those Christmas cookies later! Linzarella’s muesli is nice and milky, with pomegranates and nuts added in for crunch. The addition of the tea, and I used a citrus-y ginger green tea, made me feel like I was starting the most important meal of the day on the right foot. The apple lends a subtle flavor that compliments the rest of the dish. —cbear1984
