One of the most striking trends in the hospitality industry in recent years has been the rise of breakfast: more and more places are opening up in big cities specifically for breakfast, most restaurants offer breakfast, and hotels have made it a priority to offer a rich, satisfying and delicious breakfast. Similarly, all-day breakfasts have become more widespread, blurring the boundaries between meals: people are no longer just looking for brunch options, but expect to find traditional breakfast dishes available at any time of the day.
Comfortable, varied breakfasts help guests to slow down and enjoy the beauty of everyday life. Family and friends meet, business meetings take place over a shared meal at a breakfast venue, so it doesn't matter what menu you have in store for your guests. The latest surveys sweet pastries are the most popular offer, but there are also a number of other options often sought by diners. Let's see what they are!
Meat-free breakfasts
Many people choose vegetarian options for the sake of a healthier diet. Add breakfast dishes to your menu that contain fewer calories than their meat counterparts! A tofu sandwich, a pumpkin and goat's cheese bag or grilled pineapple pancakes are exciting and nutritious alternatives for those who might otherwise prefer to eat meat. Aviko's range includes a number of products that are perfect to add to your breakfast offering and are naturally meat-free. A from triangles of rösti for example, you can make a crostini with pesto. To make a crostini, bake it in the oven at 200 °C for 20 minutes, then brush it with a thin layer of forest herb pesto. Cut tomatoes, onions and avocado into small cubes, mix with watercress, pistachios and olive oil, then pile on the triangles! A roasting tallets can be used as a base for a hot rösti sandwich, and the third in the range, rösti bites, can be a great addition to an English breakfast.
Biscuits, cakes
Offer more than the classic bun, use a variety of biscuits, pastries and pastry doughs to get in on the current food trends! A wholemeal-rich mini pizza can make a nice surprise in your breakfast offering, but you can get more creative with your dough: make an edible bowl with poached eggs, spinach, tomatoes and ham. In a „deconstructed” version of the same, we break the biscuit into bite-sized pieces and layer it with different protein sources, vegetables and sauces.
Salty and sweet
A hint of saltiness instantly enhances sweet cakes. You can't go wrong with bacon, for example - bacon muffins are a real treat. Aviko's selection makes an excellent breakfast churrosból, which is a great choice for coffee with salty and sweet flavours, chocolate sauce, jam and cinnamon. And those looking for more adventurous dishes can rely on the sweet potatoes, which can also be used to make savoury and sweet pastries, as well as being a unique addition to breakfast tables on its own, with sliced vegetables, sauces and dips.
Greens and eggs in all quantities for breakfast
Salads are increasingly finding their way onto breakfast menus. A yoghurt vegetable salad with poached eggs, a Scotch egg salad or a curried kale and chicken quinoa salad with sweet pastries are a healthy and delicious way to start the day. Many people can't imagine breakfast without eggs, which provide long-lasting nourishment throughout the day thanks to their high protein and fat content. Let's not stop at the simplest of uses - scrambled eggs can be made at home, so let's give them something more special!
What makes omelettes great is that they are softer, juicier and have a better mouthfeel than scrambled eggs, which tend to dry out and are also elegantly difficult to serve. The secret to an omelette is high heat and an immaculately non-stick Teflon pan. It's also good with a touch of Asian spice, so you can spice it up with chillies, coriander and spring onions.
Another unforgettable experience is Eggs Benedict. This dish consists of fried flatbread, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce and a side dish of some kind. Although it is a complex dish, with the right technological preparation and routine, you can cook hundreds of them in a morning rush.
The poached egg is prepared in a bag: the bag is placed in a pot, the egg is poached in the bag, which is then placed in a pot of beading water for 4-5 minutes. In this time, the egg will be perfectly creamy. A classic accompaniment is the smoked salmon and the ham, but you can also add cocktail shrimp, or for vegetarians, grilled mushrooms and spinach. A few stems of Aviko with crispy fries an unbeatable breakfast dish.
