The Incredible, Edible Egg

I am continually amazed at how different breakfast is here in France. The America breakfast food staples like eggs and cereal are simply not eaten by a "real" French person. I personally love eggs and will eat them at any time of day but it is rare to find an egg served in an American restaurant after 10 am.  Although an egg can't be found on a French breakfast menu, it most certainly can be found on a lunch menu. Eggs are a very popular accompaniment with savory crepes. A typical savory crepe seems more like breakfast than lunch to an America. A ham, cheese, and egg crepe is very similar to a ham, cheese, and egg McMuffin (pardon the McDonald's comparison). So after having eaten my first lunch crepe topped with two very runny eggs, I have to say the eggs were just as good for lunch as they are for breakfast.
