With breakfast fare breaking the early-morning barrier, distinctive recipes can make your menu rise and shine.
The breakfast day part is expanding—not only growing in its variety of choices, but also stretching past morning hours into the clockless day. Diners seek breakfast items on their schedule, looking to restaurants for dishes that historically only appear during typical breakfast hours. Technomic's recent Breakfast Consumer Trend Report reveals that nearly half of consumers surveyed (46%) said that they would like full-service restaurants to offer breakfast throughout the day. About a third of diners would like limited-service restaurants to offer the breakfast-all-day option. Our chefs at the Kraft Culinary Centre take breakfast seriously. We feature their recipes below—ones that hit different sustaining trends and offer solutions for operators.
Behind the Recipes
Grilled Eggwiches
This is a recipe that works across day parts, gliding easily into the all-day breakfast trend with its sandwich presentation. Hard-boiled eggs are given a flavour boost with Miracle Whip Dressing, Kraft Shredded Medium Cheddar Cheese, yellow mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
Spiced Apple Muffins
Great for grab-and-go stations or breakfast menus, these spiced muffins feature harvest flavours like tart apples, nutmeg and cinnamon. For a moist, fluffy profile, our chefs infuse the batter with Philadelphia Light Brick Cream Cheese Spread.
Carrot Cake Spread
Building on Philly, our chefs take the spread into a satisfyingly sweet direction. They add the classic carrot cake ingredients: carrots, cinnamon, honey, nutmeg and raisins, to cream cheese. This cream cheese spread is perfect on bagel bars, brunch menus or on-the-go counters.
Raspberry-Cream Cheese Muffins
A perfect addition to the baked-goods selection on breakfast buffets, our buttermilk muffins star a cream-cheese filling made with a simple plus-two of Philly with lemon zest and powdered sugar.
Herb Frittata
This breakfast classic draws inspiration from the Mediterranean but adds depth with Southern-style hash browns and Philadelphia Herb & Garlic Cream Cheese Spread. A great make-ahead recipe, it shines on breakfast buffets as well as plated presentations.
Creamy Herb & Garlic Eggs
How do you make scrambled eggs exciting? Add Philly! Our chefs add Philadelphia Herb & Garlic Cream Cheese Spread, which lends the eggs a beautifully smooth texture, introducing depth and richness. For added value, consider adding a toppings selection for your scrambled eggs: smoked salmon, bacon, fresh herbs or cheese, for instance.
Steak & Egg Breakfast Tostadas with Black Bean-Tomato Salsa
Perfect for all-day breakfast menus, our chefs top a crisp tostada with a simple plus-one spread of Philly and tomatillo salsa. They grill flat-iron steak and slice it thinly for a tender profile. After the meat is laid on the tostada, they perch a fried egg atop, laying claim to this dish as a breakfast champion. Both a topping of Kraft Shredded Cheddar/Monterey Jack Blend Cheese and a fresh black bean-tomato salsa round out the Latin profile, looking to Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing for its bright, zingy flavour.
