How in the world does your favorite meal get any better? Let’s put that another way. How does breakfast get any more proper?

You know where this is going, right? Right to Flintridge Proper. Maybe it’s already your favorite breakfast, but now imagine that the breakfast there has been expanded to extraordinary proportions. And seeing as how you’re probably reading this in the morning, let’s get those taste buds and breakfast synapses firing, shall we?

How about a pair of warm, cooked-to-order brioche donuts with strawberry glazes, pastry cream and market strawberries? Okay, you’re already plotting your escape from the office.

Let’s move forward, shall we?

There’s a huge array of breakfast plates now available, far more than we can accurately describe, frankly, without putting an eye out or something.

There’s the Real American Breakfast with local free-range eggs, choice of artisanal bacon, house made sausage patty or ham steak with the Proper’s famous Smooshed Potatoes, some toast & housemaid Jam.

You’re hungrier than that? No biggie, unless it’s the Big Breakfast with two pancakes, two eggs however-you–want-them, those smooshed potatoes and a choice of Artisanal Bacon, House made Sausage Patty or Ham Steak.With a breakfast like that, the day has no chance.

Jones-ing for those breakfasts you used to have back on the farm in Nebraska? Or maybe it was Modesto? Either way, there’s Steak and Eggs with two eggs, a 45 oz. flatiron steak, two eggs however-you–want-them, moreSmooshed Potatoes, some Hollandaise and some beef sauce. Now that you’re in the mood, there’s also biscuits and gravy with a house-made biscuit, house-made breakfast sausage and bacon in traditional white gravy. And of course there are pancakes. There’s Proper, there’s Strawberry and there’s bacon pancakes. (Yes, bacon in the batter. So beautiful and evil.) All of them are served with whipped butter and real maple syrup.

There are Cast Iron Skillet meals like a smoked salmon scramble with Scottish Smoked Salmon, Wild Arugula and Sautéed Onion in scrambled egg whites, served With Sliced Tomato, or a Spicy Ham Hash with sliced honey-cured ham, Fried Jalapeno and Onions Tossed with those Smooshed Potatoes, and topped with Poached Eggs and Hollandaise. There’s even a veggie skillet.

The Proper also features a trio of Benedicts, including smoked salmon and garden, all served with Smooshed Potatoes or Green Salad.

Omelets? Nine of ‘em made with three free-range eggs and served with smooshed potatoes, toast, shaved butter and house made jam. They range from Cheesy and Gooey, Big and Burly, Sunny and Fresh, and of course, a build-your-own.

Oh, and if the case should arise, there are Gluten-free options available for many of the dishes as well.

The Proper also has a range of breakfast sandwiches, a wide array of sides, and some hot, delicious coffee.

There. We’ve laid it out for you. Let your hunger be your guide. Just be back at the office before lunch.

The Flintridge Proper is at 464 Foothill Boulevard, La Canada Flintridge. (818) 790-4888. www.theproper.com
