"Eton Mess is a classic British dessert that perfectly balances the savory frittata with its light and airy sweetness. The combination of meringue, whipped cream, and fresh summer berries (such as strawberries and raspberries) provides a delightful contrast in textures and a burst of fruity flavors that cleanse the palate."
