* Make comfort food even more
appealing. Cinnamon rolls and scones
are a great canvas for your creativity.
Try an apple-stuffed cinnamon roll or
a scone bear claw with vanilla cream
icing. Cinnamon rolls can morph
into cinnamon roll monkey bread or
pineapple matcha sticky buns for some
added pizzazz.
* Get creative, have fun. Give traditional
breakfast foods a new twist: voila
biscuit avocado toast. You can also amp
up your pairings: Top a scone with
strawberry yogurt and strawberries for a
twist on strawberry shortcake, or build
a cinnamon roll parfait for an afternoon
treat that layers vanilla yogurt with cutup
cinnamon rolls and fruit.
* Pack a punch with breakfast
sandwiches. Breakfast sandwiches are a
way to offer protein, carbs, and veggies
in one great-tasting package. Demand
has grown for delicious and nutritious
meatless options, as well as the egg,
bacon, and cheese classics.
* Grab & go is on a roll. Convenience
matters, and it's easy to grab a fruitfilled
yogurt parfait or smoothie.
Cinnamon rolls or other baked goods
are also great for visitors to pick up
on their way to see a family member.
Individually-wrapped or portioned
baked goods, breakfast sandwiches,
and parfaits also work well for onsite
catering.
* Keep it fresh. What holidays or special
events are coming up? When you rotate
menu items and flavors, you keep it
fresh for your regulars. A Valentine's
Day yogurt parfait might feature
strawberry yogurt with strawberries
cut into heart shapes and a rose petal
garnish. The Fourth of July version
could feature red, white, and blue in
the form of berries and yogurt. Your
operation can celebrate the seasons
and holidays to pique interest and
participation.

* Offer lunch or dinner menu items
with a breakfast flair. Think outside
the breakfast box and with items such
as grilled cheese served on a doughnut,
savory pancakes, or use waffles as a
sandwich carrier.
* Introduce " bresserts " or dessert items
made from traditional breakfast items
(cinnamon roll cobbler, strawberry
scone shortcake, birthday cake
pancakes).
Breakfast foods afford an abundance of
flavors, nutrient-dense options, as well
as a canvas for your creativity. There are
endless opportunities for foodservice
programs to reimagine the possibilities
with popular morning favorites to bring
more variety and excitement to menus at
breakfast and beyond. E
