Savoring Timeless Flavors With a Twist 

Iconic breakfast sweets can be paired with savory ingredients to make them more exciting and enjoyable. This series will feature tasty takes on brunch and brekkie favorites like chorizo scrambled eggs, crab patty egg benedict on a croissant, and more!

A wholesome, protein-packed morning meal that comes together in under 10 minutes.

Pancakes

Pancakes are among the most reliable foods for breakfast in Beaufort. They cost chump change compared to avocado toast, can be sweet or savory, and can provide the sustenance you need to conquer the day (or get through breakfast for dinner). Plus, although pancakes aren’t known for being particularly healthy, they do have some nutrients that can add up to a good meal if eaten in moderation and with healthy toppings, like fresh berries and whole grains.

This recipe swaps out the sugary cinnamon rolls found at most breakfast restaurants for a savory cheese twist made with fromage blanc, a soft cow’s milk cheese with a tang similar to sour cream. The roasted asparagus, which is easy to prepare in advance while the dough bakes, adds a fresh flavor that helps balance out the richness of the cheese. And a drizzle of maple syrup on top finishes the breakfast off right.

Waffles

If you don’t feel like dealing with a stack of syrup-drenched dishes, or if your taste buds prefer something savory, there are plenty of options for lunch in Beaufort to keep you satisfied. Eggs Benedict, quiche and a hearty waffle sandwich are just some of the many tasty options on this menu.

Waffles are enjoyed around the world in a variety of shapes, sizes, and toppings. From stroopwafels in the Netherlands to tayaki in Japan, each region has a signature waffle.

These bite-sized, crunchy sweets can be eaten as is or covered in a thin layer of syrup. They’re a popular treat in the Netherlands, where they’re often served at roadside stands and in cafes. Stroopwafels are reminiscent of cookies, but the specific pressed pattern and unique flavors set them apart from other waffles.

French Toast

How about adding a savory twist to the classic French toast to make it even more delectable? It’s a perfect breakfast dish that can be enjoyed as a brunch item and customized to your liking. Toss thick slices of your preferred bread in an egg mixture and fry it until blushing golden on the outside with crispy, buttery edges. Top your waffles with fresh berries or drizzle with maple syrup for a sweet treat, or add bacon or sausage for a hearty meal.

Consider adding a teaspoon or two of sugar to your egg mixture for cinnamon-spiced French toast or using part light cream, half-and-half, or even heavy cream to make the eggs richer for a creamy French toast. If you prefer your French toast to have a crispier crust, sprinkle the slices with granulated sugar before cooking and flip them after cooking one side to caramelize them. To save time, preheat your oven and put a baking sheet in it to keep the toasted slices warm while you cook additional batches.

Brunch

In recent years, brunch has regained popularity as a time to relax with friends and enjoy delicious food. Many restaurants are creating unique dishes to attract new customers and offer more choices. Iconic recipes like quiche and eggs Benedict are perfect for a brunch menu, and they can be tailored to different palates and dietary restrictions.

A popular weekend meal, brunch combines breakfast and lunch. It is usually more leisurely than breakfast and lunch, and it tends to include both sweet and savory foods. For example, a brunch may feature pancakes and waffles as well as egg dishes such as Eggs Benedict with toasted English muffins, Canadian bacon or smoked salmon, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce.

Brunch is the perfect way to start a fun tradition with friends. It’s a great excuse to sip mimosas at 11 a.m. and catch up with your pals over a delicious meal. Remember to practice proper brunch etiquette to ensure everyone has a good experience.
