Chef Maria Loi shows us her Cretan start to the morning, soaking up the sun and sea as she sips on Ellinikos Kafes, traditional Greek coffee, and pastries. She then heads to Naxos, and after collecting some eggs, joins the Governor of Naxos, Ioannis Margaritis, to make a traditional Kayana (Scrambled Eggs with Tomato). Back in New York, she prepares a hearty breakfast "the Greek way" with the help of frequent diners turned friends, Deborah Grausman & Dr. Orlando Gonzalez. First, she makes Baklava Ravdakia (Baklava Sticks), Ravdakia me Tyri (Cheese Sticks), and Ellinikos Kafes (Traditional Greek Coffee) for Deborah, who literally sings with joy! Maria then follows that up with a twist on the traditional Kayana (Eggs in Tomato Sauce), serving it up with Dakos bread, jalapenos, and pecans.
