Hi! I did the breakfast for our June event last year. The menu was:

- Pain Perdu (the version where the bread is dipped only in egg yolks,
then fried in butter)
- Scrambled eggs with onions (Hanoney) -- we used the whites from the eggs
used for Pain perdu to stretch the eggs...
- Rice pudding with Almond Milk
- Strawberry Pudding (also called Strawberry Sauce)
- Plum Mousse
- Sausage Gravy & Biscuits (this part wasn't period)
- Assorted fruits & breads

------
There's a carbonara recipe, too, for ham with a bit of orange juice, that
would be ok with generic ham-and-water product; and there's always the
Omlette for Harlots & Ruffians... :)

And last but not least, frumenty or groats, either of barley or wheat;
plus that raisin spread from take 1000 eggs
