French toast with pear and chocolate http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/french_toast_with_pear_and_chocolate Chocolate and pear is a marriage made in heaven, especially on sweet, crunchy french toast. Asparagus and herb frittata http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/asparagus_and_herb_frittata As green asparagus is available most of the year, we don't treat the svelte stalks with quite the reverence we used to - but it will always be something of a luxury vegetable. Choose firm, plump spears with compact tips and tight scales. Avoid any that are slimy or soft and check the tips aren't dry. Jamon and eggs with pan con tomate http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/jamon-and-eggs-with-pan-con-tomate Ciabatta is ideal here because you need a proper crust to stand up to the tomatoey juices and creamy eggs. This is way too good for breakfast and is much deserving of a decent glass of wine.
