The only problem with Break of Dawn in Laguna Hills is that up until we went there last week, we hadn’t realized that we were missing out on what is quite possibly the best breakfast in all of Orange County. I’ve read all the reviews, and seen all the pictures, but until the food was on our plate and then in our bellies I didn’t know that breakfast could be this good. Don’t get me wrong, I love breakfast, I eat it every day, in fact Mrs. DanGarion and I either have a very good breakfast over at our usual (The Filling Station) or we cook breakfast ourselves. We aren’t planning on changing our routine, but we are planning on visiting Break of Dawn from time to time, so we can experience happiness on a plate.
Even though I’d read the reviews about the awesomeness of Break of Dawn and the recommendations of others, we decided to just figure out what we wanted on our own. I choose the Corned Beef ($12) consisting of sweet potato hash, poached eggs, tarragon cabbage, and mustard sauce. Every single piece of the meal mingled perfectly with each other, I found myself nearly licking the plate when I finished.
Mrs. DanGarion opted for the Skillet ($11), roasted new potatoes, bacon, cheddar poached eggs, guacamole (without the chipotle sour cream). The potatoes were magnificently cooked in a way I had never thought was possible, so creamy yet with the perfect amount of crunch on the outside. And the poached eggs… Oh the poached eggs were cooked to medium doneness perfection. This is what dreams of breakfast is made of.
Everything was just how it should taste, and that is why we aren’t going to change our routine. A breakfast like that at Break of Dawn’s must be appreciated, and the only real way to do that is to visit their in moderation! As the saying goes, ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder’.
