Start Your Meeting Or Gathering With Breakfast Catering

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.

The type of foods and preparation you choose would depend on the service style that is selected. If a plated meal is decided on, all attendees would be served the same plate at exactly the same time. This plate could be a simple broccoli and cheese quiche with a slice of melon, a Western omelet with hash browns, or pancakes with bacon or sausage. A morning sausage casserole would also be a tasty alternative. Continue to re-fill all beverages during the meal.

A buffet would be a great alternative if individuals are expected to arrive at different times or if there was not anywhere to set place settings. A buffet can be as simple or as elegant as desired. A cold buffet could consist of an assortment of cereals, a fresh fruit tray, and a platter of pastries. A simple hot buffet could be made up of scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, cubed and seasoned potatoes, and biscuits. A truly elegant offering could consist of a fresh fruit tray, lox and bagels with all of the trimmings, eggs Benedict, fresh asparagus, and a variety 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.

Your meal could even have a theme. You could serve plates of Mexican migas, scrambled eggs with crumbled tortilla chips, re-fried beans, and fried potatoes. A holiday plate could consist of omelettes with red and green peppers and a broiled tomato. A New Year's buffet could feature champagne and black-eyed peas.

So if there is a meeting on the horizon, whether it be for school, work, a club, or church, consider making it a morning affair. When it is over, all who attended will be well fed and ready to take on just about anything. The beverages and foods will help get attendees to a wonderful start to a new day and provide the energy to get through all duties and demands with ease.
