7 Excuses to Sprinkle Chives All Over Your Brunch
Chives make everything so much better.

Master chef Jacques Pépin stuffs a classic French omelet with sour cream, chives and diced pressed caviar.

Adding parsley, chives and cheese creates a fresh-tasting, creamy frittata that is terrific warm, at room temperature or chilled.
5. Bacon-and-Egg Pizza
Chives make an awesome garnish for this over-the-top breakfast pizza.
6. Toasted Quinoa Porridge with Black Trumpet Mushrooms
