Smoked Salmon

Valbella Meats in Canmore is known for its cured game and charcuterie, but it also makes a deliciously seasoned, moist filet of smoked salmon that’s unlike regular lox. Pair it with eggs or your morning bagel.

104 Elk Run Blvd., Canmore, Sunterra Markets and other locations, 403-678-9989, valbellagourmetfoods.ca, @valbellameats

Kettle Bread

Toast is in this year. Thickly sliced, slathered with butter and the best preserves, toast has been elevated from its rushed weekday morning status. Grainy Kettle bread from the Lazy Loaf and Kettle is also perfect for making French toast, if it seems proper to dip it in beaten egg and fry it first.

You-Bake Cinnamon Buns

There’s so much to love about you-bake cinnamon brioche buns from Pascal’s Patisserie; you thaw and proof them overnight, then slide them into the oven around the time your guests plan to arrive, welcoming them with the aroma of warm buns in the oven. No kneading, no dishes.

Duck Eggs

The duck eggs from Greens, Eggs and Ham are like eggs extreme – big, rich, creamy and intensely eggy, they make a good conversation piece, as well as the best scrambled, soft-boiled or Benny you’ll ever eat.

Crossroads Market, Symons Valley Ranch and the Market on Macleod, and through the CSA program, 780-986-8680, greenseggsandham.com, @gehfarm
