Tastes of Texas: Spotlight on Kolaches

I used to travel to Houston, Texas often and was lucky enough to be introduced to the kolache, a czech pastry stuffed with fruit, cheese or sausage, by my frequent host. Gourmet magazine has a feature on these delicious breakfast treats in its March issue. Definitely worth a read, and worth seeking out the biggest chain, Kolache Factory, if you live in or visit Texas. They also have outposts in Indianapolis, Denver, St. Louis, and Overland Park, KS. I cannot recommend the Jalapeno, Cheddar Cheese and Sausage version enough!
