Despite the restaurant's small size, the brunch menu is big, with plenty of veggie-friendly options, including the Aztec Supreme omelette (pictured above), three eggs cooked with green chiles, onions, salsa and avocado and topped with a melted jack/cheddar blend. It's served with the Wildflower's deservedly famous "wild" potatoes, which are fried to a crisp before being plated up with the eggs.
The Florentine plate boasts poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, onion, tomato, spinach and mushrooms on an English muffin. The hollandaise sauce is housemade, and so creamy and tangy that it's worth a trip up the hill just to try it -- and those wild potatoes are perfect for soaking up the extra sauce.You can also order pancakes, French toast and a two-egg "boring breakfast" suitable for vegetarians. Although the dishes sound fairly typical fare for any breakfast joint, the quality of the ingredients and how they're prepared push this eatery into the "great" zone. This is a breakfast that you'll be thinking about all day -- and fortunately, it's served all day at the Wildflower, which opens at 7:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday, and 8 a.m. Sunday.
The Wildflower is at 28035 Highway 74 in Evergreen; visit wildflowerevergreen.com or call 303-674-3323.
