This is really special, a breakfast that our guests often react to with surprise and delight. We took a recipe from master chef Yotam Ottolenghi, tweaked it this way and that, and created a version that works beautifully for us and will work beautifully for you, too. To get the same intriguing flavor of preserved lemons even if you don't have any, try this brilliant hack: https://www.masterclass.com/articles/ottolenghis-preserved-lemons-recipe.

BRAISED EGGS WITH LEEKS AND PRESERVED LEMON
An unusual but surprisingly easy dish that's as good for dinner as it is for breakfast
Karen's favorite sandwich, with a breakfasty twist. You've got to plan a little bit ahead for this one, as you'll want to marinade the pork tenderloin at least a few hours or overnight. When it's time to pull it together for breakfast, get all of the elements smartly organized and within easy reach, then go for it!

First off, this isn’t really so much a recipe but rather an approach, an approach to a delicious outcome that you can tweak any way you want. Second, and more importantly, is that the chorizo verde we use is made right here in Waitsfield, by local butcher Josh at 5th Quarter Provisions. If you cannot get your hands on 5th Quarter Chorizo Verde, use whatever high-quality (humanely raised, please) chorizo.

KAREN'S SWEET SCONES MASTER RECIPE
Karen's magnificent sweet scone recipe! Adjust the fillings as desired for different flavors.
This is a real crowd pleaser. We took a recipe from New York Times Cooking, messed around with, and created a far less fiddly but just as delicious version. It’s best if you start the day before you plan to serve it so it can soak overnight, but, honestly, it’s nearly as yummy if it soaks for just an hour.

As we were testing out recipe ideas before we bought the Featherbed, we wondered whether Shakshuka was too weird, too ethnic, too something to serve to our guests for breakfast. By now we must have served it hundreds of times, and it’s a favorite among our savory breakfasts (some of our returning guests even call ahead of their stay to request shakshuka).
