A typical German Breakfast are coffee, German crusty rolls, sliced bread, pastries, jam, jelly, cereal, yoghurt, fruit, wurst and cheese platter, and soft boiled eggs. Besides the coffee, there is always some type of juice, like apple, orange and/or grapefruit.
When in Germany, do like the Germans do; this is my mantra which I follow religiously. A German or “continental” type breakfast is not eaten every day at home, mostly on special days like weekends and religious holidays.
When most of the stores are closed, the bakeries remain open every day at 7 a.m. and are conveniently situated at nearly every street corner. As an early riser, that’s my cue to embark on my bakery run to buy fresh Bötchens (crusty rolls) and delicious Hörnchen (croissants). When they are fresh from the oven—and sometimes still warm—that’s when they taste the absolute best. I can’t help but take a bite out of the irresistible Schinkenstangen (Prosciutto twists) on my way home, savoring each delightful mouthful.
Germans enjoy a variety of cold cuts along with a bowl of Müsli, which is an oat cereal or unsweetened granola. Instead of simply pouring milk over it, the Germans start with a generous dollop of yoghurt, known as Quark, and then sprinkle the cereal with honey for sweetening on top to enhance its flavor.

A typical continental breakfast
When enjoying a soft-boiled egg in the traditional German style, you gently place it in an egg stand and then crack the shell around its perimeter forcefully with a knife. After removing the top of the shell, you lightly sprinkle salt on the egg to enhance its flavor.
Occasionally, you will also find Rühreier, or scrambled eggs, on the breakfast table as an alternative option for those who prefer something different.
There is a large variety at the Bakery with more than 3000 types of breads and pastry, too many to list or choose from.
The rolls are typically spread with butter and topped with various German cold cuts or cheeses. They are almost always served open-faced, except when taken to work or for a picnic. Many bakeries collaborate with local butchers, creating what’s known as a “Wurstbrötchen,” which is essentially a roll filled with German lunch meat that you can grab on the go.
