The Perfect Cornetto

I've found the perfect breakfast cornetto. It's here at my neighborhood bar, Cibreo's. A cornetto is like a breakfast croissant, but it's so much more than a croissant. It's a cross between a brioche and a croissant. It's got eggs, butter and a little lemon zest.  It tastes light and airy and all things sinful. The French don't have any idea...je regrette!  I asked Isidoro, the barista, what it is about these cornetti that makes them so airy....something about the lievito controllato  or "managing your yeast," whatever that means!  Oh well, I just know that happiness is a hot-out-of-the-oven cornetto from Cibreo's with an equally perfect cappucchino to accompany it.
