What’s made it onto your breakfast guest list? Breakfast—whether served until 10 a.m. or all day—has increased in the number of restaurants offering it over the past 10 years, resulting in an explosion of breakfast innovation.
It may seem like a crowded market of French toasts and scrambled eggs, but the simplest way to make your mark is simple: bring a plus one.
Bringing some blood orange puree, chimichurri, or tarragon into a hollandaise sauce could be the perfect hit to make eggs benedict stand out from the all-day breakfast crowd. Make it more interesting still with different proteins and over-the-top add-ins.
Beautiful Blood Orange
Blood orange, the orange with crimson-colored flesh, can bring a surprising burst of flavor (and color) to any dish—but consider its application for breakfast.
“Adding in blood orange puree or concentrate to your hollandaise base for eggs benedict make it extremely unique,” Dot Foods Corporate Chef Tim Gump says.
Datassential says 51 percent of consumers love or like citrus flavors; get ready for some sensational citrus gracing that brunch platter.
Forget the Canadian Bacon
While a standard eggs benedict will come with Canadian bacon, you can think out of the box when it comes to protein atop the eggs. Smoked salmon instantly elevates this breakfast dish into an elegant take on brunch.
And what about barbacoa? Some pork belly with chipotle hollandaise and a fruity salsa could be just the ticket for an interesting addition (and substitution) to the traditional breakfast sandwich.
Start Waffling
Have you ever seen an eggs benedict served on a waffle instead of an English muffin? While the small, round muffins are delicious in their own right, serving eggs benedict on a savory waffle with dill added in is the forward-thinking breakfast option guests love.
