Breakfast Catering: An Inexpensive And Tasty Alternative

By James Kennedy


With many individuals struggling to find time in their day for meetings and other gatherings, breakfast catering has become very popular. This allows groups to come together before their daytime hours become filled with many other demands and duties. It provides a great start to a productive and fulfilling day.

There are many advantages to having a morning meeting catered. This type of food is usually not very expensive compared to a lunch or dinner. All the ingredients are basic and inexpensive and can be the basis for an extraordinary meal. These food items are also simple to prepare and serve on a buffet or as a plated meal.

Be sure to include several types of beverages, starting with coffee. Set up a station with flavored creamers and syrups and an abundance of sweeteners. Add juices, water, and a selection of hot teas. Add glassware, cups, saucers, stirrers or spoons and napkins to the set-up.

Entree items would depend on the type of service. If it is a plated meal, everyone would be served the same type of food at the same time. It could be as simple as a slice of ham and cheese quiche with cold asparagus spears or a simple spinach omelet with breakfast potatoes. Pancakes with scrambled eggs is also a tasty morning dish as is a breakfast strata with sausage links and hash browns. Beverages could be re-filled continuously throughout the meal.

A buffet is also a great option, especially if guests are just going to filter in at different times. This buffet can be as casual or as elegant as you would like it to be. A continental breakfast would consist of danish, fresh fruit, juices, and coffee. An ordinary hot buffet can have scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon, hash browned potatoes, and croissants or biscuits. A truly elegant buffet may consist of carved ham, salmon and mini bagels, deviled eggs, a fresh fruit display, and a great selection of French pastries.

Another great option would be a breakfast in a box. Appropriate food items to prepare for this could include some type of sandwich with egg and a meat such as a sausage or ham. Tacos would also be a delightful surprise - choose from potato and egg, bean and cheese, or even sausage and egg.

Choose a distinctive theme for this meal. You could offer a Mexican buffet that would include a make-your-own-taco station complete with re-fried beans, scrambled eggs, bacon, chorizo, tortillas, salsa, and avocado. Include a fresh fruit tray or a selection of whole fruits. Set up a New Year's buffet with the obligatory black-eyed peas.

So when you are considering another meeting for work, church, or a club you belong to, consider making it an early morning gathering. Everyone will be fresh and ready to take on the world. The food and drinks served will get everyone off to a great start and provide the impetus to get through your daily agenda with ease.
