Brunch is a glorious time of the day. You not only get the option of eating breakfast foods, but you get to sleep in before the feast. It’s also a great time to meet up with friends for a breakfast/lunch date and make plans to go do something afterwards. Instead of going out, save your money and host a brunch at your place! Step up your brunch game with the use of KitchenAid appliances and the tips below so that you and your friends will feel indulged with every last bite!
Tip #1: Simplicity of toast
Who doesn’t love toast? It’s simple and there are many ways to eat toast so it’s a fun little addition to the buffet. Set up your toast station with the KitchenAid 2-Slice Toaster with 7 settings (bagel, defrost, reheat, and keep warm). Put out little trays of jams, peanut butter, cream cheese, butter, and other spreads you think they may want to put on their toast or bagel. Voila- you have a toast station waiting to be devoured.
Tip #2: Don’t forget coffee and tea
When breakfast is in the mix, obviously coffee is a must. Before guests arrive, brew a pot of coffee from the KitchenAid 12-Cup Coffee Maker so everyone will get a whiff of it when they step inside. Of course, not everyone is a coffee drinker so having a selection of hot beverages is a nice way to accommodate your friends. Set up a little area for tea with a KitchenAid Glass Tea Kettle appliance. Add a touch of tea bags on the side or feel free to add loose tea in the infusing basket inside the tea kettle.
Tip # 3: Add sweet and savory
It’s important to think about providing more than one food option when preparing brunch. Some people may not want toast, so it’s crucial to come up with various ideas. A good rule of thumb is to make sure you have both sweet and savory items. For example: Provide muffins or pastries that you made with a KitchenAid Stand Mixer for the sweet part but add a side of bacon on the table for the savory part. The more choices, the better.
Entertaining a crowd for Brunch may seem daunting, but with KitchenAid appliances, they do the hard part for you!
