Certain cheeses just belong on the breakfast table.
I don't mean cheese mixed in with eggs or made into quiche. Nor do I mean cheese melted over potatoes or baked into a breakfast strata.*
Just a wedge of fresh, tangy cheese.
Hopefully with a nice hunk of baguette and some fresh fruit or jam. Cheese like this one: Kalidaan.
Kalidaan is a soft, flavorful fromage de chèvre that is produced on a small farm (approximately 300 goats) in the Poitou-Charentes region.
There is no "goatiness" to this goat's cheese and the texture is wonderful and creamy with a mere hint of chalkiness. It has a well balanced, grassy, light flavor that was delicious with some cherry jam and bread for petit déjeuner.
As it was fairly early in the morning, I had a big café au lait with my wedge of Kalidaan.
A glass of crisp white wine from the Loire would also be good. A bit later in the day, of course.
*my mom used to make a mean strata for brunch on the weekends. Mentioning it brings back yummy childhood breakfast memories...

With honey. Yes. Yes PLEASE.
People just don't eat enough cheese with breakfast these days. With cherry jam, this sounds amazing for a early-morning pick me up.

I would have to drive back up to the Poitou-Charentes to get some more first. I can't find it down here in the south! :)
Guava jam and queso blanco sound wonderful.
