Grießbrei is a traditional Central European pudding based on semolina. The dish is made with milk, semolina, and sugar. It's often flavored with vanilla and cinnamon.

Most people like to eat semolina pudding for breakfast, and the dish is sometimes enhanced with the addition of fruit such as cherries, strawberries, peaches, pears, or apples. It's recommended to serve it in a shallow bowl since there's more surface area to cover with the desired toppings. The dish is prepared in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.Expand

Búbos rántotta is a traditional egg-based dish consisting of a stack of scrambled eggs. The dish is usually made with a combination of eggs, sour cream, milk, lard, rye bread, bacon, paprika, chives, and salt. The bacon is diced and the rye bread is cut into crouton size.

The eggs are scrambled while they're cooking, and the dish is served sprinkled with paprika and garnished with chopped chives.Expand
