Just returned from an amazing vacation in Sicily. My husband and I traveled to Marina Di Portorosa, Sicily, to charter a sailboat in order to sail to the Eolian Islands. Bad weather kept us close to port the first two days, but we were able to set out for Lipari on the first good day. We tried all things Sicilian and loved most of what we encountered, but one morning we decided to see what the Sicilians considered an American breakfast.
The results were fantastic. So good that we tried it on two separate days. Both gave us scrambled eggs mixed with ham and cheese, bread and pastries. Absolutely delicious! A surprise was how orange the eggs were, however. Curious, I looked up what gives egg yolks their color. Found out that a deep orange color indicates a happy, healthy hen being fed a well-balanced diet. When allowed to graze and eat a omnivore's diet, the eggs provide vitamins A, D and E, omega-3 fatty acids and xanthophylls (carotenids - beta-carotene).
