Prosciutto Bread

Healthy Fact of the Day

While indulgent, this bread provides protein from prosciutto and cheese. Fresh herbs add antioxidants and flavor without calories. To make healthier, use whole wheat flour for added fiber and nutrients. Consider reducing cheese quantity and increasing herbs for flavor. Olive oil provides heart-healthy fats. For a lighter version, make smaller portions or slice thinly. The protein content makes this more satisfying than plain bread. While delicious, enjoy in moderation as part of a balanced meal. The combination of protein and complex carbohydrates provides sustained energy.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

First Watch Just Brought Back Its Beloved Fall Menu

Seasonal pancake and griddle dishes tend to be higher in sugar and refined carbs than First Watch’s other menu options, especially once syrup and toppings are factored in. If you want to enjoy the seasonal flavor without the full sugar hit, consider splitting the dish with someone else at the table, asking for syrup on the side so you control the amount, or pairing it with a side of fruit instead of extra toppings. Balancing out a heavier breakfast with a lighter lunch later in the day can also help keep things in check.

Cherry Bourbon Cobbler

Cherries are among the most antioxidant-rich fruits available, containing anthocyanins that support cardiovascular health and may reduce inflammation. Research also suggests tart cherries contain melatonin precursors that can support healthy sleep cycles. Bourbon, used in baking, contributes complex flavor from its barrel aging while much of the alcohol evaporates during the 45-minute bake—leaving behind warm vanilla, caramel, and oak notes that deepen the cherry’s natural flavor complexity without significant alcohol content in the finished dessert.
