Wrapping up our trip to Siesta Key, the one place I told Katy we had to eat at was The Broken Egg.  This is a must visit for breakfast every time I'm in town.  Located in the village on Siesta Key, this small cafe is only open for breakfast and lunch and is a favorite of the locals.  Because it is small you may have to park a ways and walk, and possibly wait for a table, but don't worry...it's normally a short delay and coffee is available.

The menu consists of traditional breakfast favorites: eggs Benedict, pancakes, and omelettes.  I have had these and all are good, but my favorite that I've consumed numerous times is the Sheepherder.  This 'eggceptional' dish consists of two poached eggs on a bed of crispy hash browns smothered with two cheeses served in a gravy boat.  With this you also receive a side of toast and a fresh fruit cup.  Katy had the Deep Dish Quiche du Jour that happened to be a tasty light and fluffy meal filled with ham, cheese, and broccoli.

When you visit Siesta Key, make sure you stroll down to the village, not only for the nightlife, but also in the morning for a taste of the best breakfast around.
