Breakfast and Brunch Menus
Breakfast Fruit Platter
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Depending on what
you eat, it
sets the pace for rest of the day. Foods served at breakfast can be
made especially attractive and tasty.
When its time for
entertaining, the possibilities of breakfast are frequently overlooked
in favor of other times of the day.A good point to remember, in favor
of breakfast or brunch, is that breakfast foods are less expensive than
those for other meals.
Breakfast and Brunch Menus to Start the Day (or Evening) Right.
If you work during the week but still want to entertain, a Sunday
morning breakfast or brunch is easy to host and provides a setting for
the crowd to get together. You have to make breakfast anyway, so you
might as well invite a few friends over an make a party out of it. And
remember, just because its breakfast or brunch, that doesn't mean it
has to be served in the AM. People love eating breakfast foods at all
times of the day. Why not throw a pajama party and have breakfast for
dinner?
Lots of breakfast items can be purchased from your favorite bakery and
mixed with items you can make from scratch. The menu can be a simple
two course affair of fruit juice’ and main course with beverage or it
can consist of a buffet full of exciting dishes.
Here are some suggestions:
Casual Brunch
*Assorted Seasonal Fruit Plate
**Shirred Eggs in Custard Cups

*Fresh fruit attractively arranged on a plate is a change from the
everyday breakfast fruits or juice.
In the center of your platter, place the top of a pineapple for decoration. Place a
small bunch of grapes, perhaps two varieties on either side. To one side arrange slices of one or two kinds of melons. Add a
peach half, apricot half, pear half, an unpeeled apple slice, grapefruit and orange sections, banana slices sprinkled with
lemon juice, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries,
cherries, pineapple wedges, plum halves, as desired.
**A shirred egg is a baked egg. Break an egg into a greased custard
cup. Add 1 tablespoon cream for each egg, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dot with butter. Bake at 350 degrees about 15 minutes
or until the whites are set.
