Since breakfast is quite possibly the most important meal of the day, I had to mention the Breakfast Panini at Il Cane Rosso in Deep Ellum. But this is no ordinary breakfast sandwich, it is very well endowed. You probably won’t be able to eat it all at once, even if you bring a friend along and share.
The ingredients are harmonious. Each playing an important part in the symphony of flavor that will explode in your mouth, starting with the bread. This amazing yeast bread is reverently baked in-house in their big red authentic Italian wood-fired oven. This stupendous loaf of toasty deliciousness is anointed with just the right amount of house-made calabrian chile aioli.
The whole thing is then stuffed full of prosciutto cotto, fontina, scrambled eggs, tomatoes and peppery arugula. I often pop in on a Saturday (they aren’t open on Sunday) to pick up one of these bad boys. I take it home with me, slice it into six or eight pieces, and nibble on it all week long for breakfast. It is a great way to start your day.
