Updated American Traditional dishes are always in style, especially at the brunch table where comfort, ease, and abundance reign. The classics are also begging for your signature touch. Hold your customers’ attention by adding a new reason for them to love their favorite dishes. Here’s a starting point for updates as simple as forming croissant dough into bear claws, and as luxurious as lobster in the biscuits and gravy.

In a medium high skillet, add oil and potatoes and cook until done. Then take out of skillet and set aside. In a hot skillet, add garlic, peppers, onions, andouille sausage, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, and fresh herbs; sauté until translucent. Once that has been done, add the potatoes and whipped eggs, then mix, cook to soft, and set aside. Slice and open the hoagie. Spread the roll with mayonnaise, add sliced tomatoes, egg potato hash, and top with cheddar cheese. Slice and serve with fresh fruit.
CHOCOLATE BEAR CLAWS INGREDIENTS 12
chocolate croissants, slightly thawed
egg wash
GARNISH
chopped nuts sliced almonds chocolate icing
Thaw chocolate croissants at room temperature until just pliable. Do not let them get warm and soft. If this happens, place them back in the fridge until ready to assemble. Prepare baking sheets with baking papers. Spray with non-stick spray. Using a knife or metal bench scraper, make 4 cuts in the long side of the chocolate croissant perpendicular but not all the way through, just about to the center. Gently open croissant to separate the claws forming a “paw.” Proof until croissants are double in size and dough is soft. Egg wash. Bake chocolate croissant bear claws in preheated oven (325° convection / 350° conventional) for 18-22 minutes until tops are browned nicely. Be careful not to underbake croissants in an effort to produce pale or lightly browned croissants as they will be uncooked in the center. Remove from oven and let cool 15 minutes. Drizzle chocolate icing on tops of bear claws and sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired. [Makes 12 Bear Claws] Recipe Courtesy of Vie de France

HOT SMOKED SALMON, ARTICHOKE AND GOAT CHEESE QUICHE CRUST all-purpose flour granulated sugar kosher salt cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 4-6 Tbsp ice water FILLING 2 cups 2 tsp 1 tsp 1 cup
unsalted butter medium red onion, thinly sliced crosswise 24 frozen artichoke heart quarters, thawed 4 large eggs 1 cup heavy cream ½ cup whole milk 1 tbsp roughly chopped fresh dill Pinch kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Pinch nutmeg 6 oz hot-smoked salmon, roughly broken into 1/2-inch pieces 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled 1 Tbsp ½
To make the crust, fit a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and mix the flour, sugar, and salt on low speed. Add the butter and mix until the largest pieces are the size of peas. With the mixer still on low, add the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough just begins to come together. Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic and shape it into a disk. Wrap in the plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 15-inch circle 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to a 9-inch spring form pan and press the dough into the bottom and up the sides, pressing pleats flat against the sides. With scissors, unevenly snip dough that overhangs the rim, to make a jagged edge. Prick bottom of the crust all over with a fork. Freeze for 20 minutes. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Line the frozen crust with two overlapping sheets of parchment and fill two-thirds of the way with dried beans. Bake until the sides are set, about 25 minutes. Remove the beans and parchment and bake until the crust just begins to brown lightly, another 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack. Meanwhile, raise the oven temperature to 400°F. To make the filling, melt butter in a 10-inch sauté pan over mediumhigh heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add artichoke hearts and cook until softened and slightly browned, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove pan from the heat. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl with the cream, milk, 1 tsp of the dill, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and the nutmeg. Put the spring form pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour about half of the egg mixture into the crust. Bake in the oven until the filling is partially set (it will still be slightly runny), about 20 minutes. Scatter half of the onion and artichoke mixture over the partially set egg mixture. Distribute half of the salmon and goat cheese on top. Pour on the remaining egg mixture and then scatter the remaining onions, artichokes, salmon, and goat cheese over the egg. Sprinkle the remaining dill over the top. Bake until the center is just set (use a paring knife to peek), another 40 to 50 minutes. Check about halfway through baking; if the crust seems to be browning too fast, shield it with strips of foil. Cool slightly on a wire rack. To unmold, remove the spring form ring and loosen the quiche from the pan’s bottom by running a thin-bladed knife between the two. Slide the quiche off its base onto a serving plate. Cut the quiche into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Spray skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey to hot skillet. Stir to crumble, approximately 14-16 minutes. Always cook to well-done, 165°F as measured by a meat thermometer. Keep warm. Place fire roasted diced tomatoes with green chili in a food processor and pulse chop a few times until the tomatoes are not chunky anymore (do not puree them). Spray an 8”x10” baking sheet with cooking oil and line it with 4 corn tortillas, ensuring that there are no gaps. Spread 1/3 of the tomatoes and chili mixture on the tortillas and add 1/3 cup cheese. Repeat the process until all the chilaquiles base ingredients are used. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted and the tomato and chili mixture has soaked into the tortillas. Let cool. While the chilaquiles base is in the oven, start making the Hollandaise sauce by combining the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Whisk over double boiler until doubled in volume. Keep your heat moderate to avoid curdling the yolks. Remove from heat and slowly drizzle the warm melted butter in as you whisk until all butter has been incorporated in the sauce. Keeping the sauce warm, add green chili sauce and stir until blended. Poach 4 eggs and place them in cold water to stop them from cooking. Cut the chilaquiles base into 4 circles with a biscuit cutter. Prepare two serving plates and place two pieces of the base on each plate. To assemble the Eggs Benedict, top each base with 1/2 cup turkey, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle with green chili hollandaise. Repeat to finish the other three Eggs Benedict. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper and chopped fresh parsley. Serve with your favorite Pico de Gallo.

Make the Very Berry Jam: In a large sauce pot, mix the berries and powdered sugar, tossing gently. Cook over medium high and stir frequently to reduce mixture; you can add a touch of water. Once it slightly thickens, move to side and let cool. Make the Very Berry Whipped Butter. Pre-heat flat-top griddle to medium-medium high. In a 1-inch lip plate, stir together 3 eggs, milk, and cinnamon, then set aside. Cut the crust off the edges of the sourdough bread, then with a 2â&#x20AC;? biscuit cutter, cut the center of one slice of the bread and set aside. On the griddle, pre-cook bacon and set aside. Heat the shaved turkey on the griddle and set aside. Add 1 ounce butter to griddle, then dip all three sourdough bread slices in egg wash before placing on griddle. Season with salt and pepper. Once one side of the French toast is done, flip to the other side. Add egg to the French toast with hole (flip over to cook both sides of egg). Top one French toast slice with Brie, turkey, and Very Berry Jam. Top the other French toast slice with mustard, Havarti, Very Berry Jam, and cooked bacon. To plate: Place the turkey/Brie slice on the bottom, followed by the bacon/Havarti slice, and top with the egg-in-the-hole slice. Pipe with whipped Very Berry Butter and finish with berries and powdered sugar. Recipe Courtesy of Chef Demetrio Marquez Reinhart New Orleans Divisional Corporate Chef

MEAT FREE Don’t call them vegetarian – though they may be. Customers today are defining what’s healthy for them, or what sounds good to them in the moment. The person ordering farro today may want pot roast hash tomorrow. What’s constant is the fact that good meat-free options are now a necessity. Successful dishes are about balance, sustenance, and the sense that not a single thing is lacking.
WHIPPED RICOTTA WITH ROASTED FRUIT AND BURNT HONEY TOAST INGREDIENTS 12 oz ricotta cheese ½ cup heavy cream 6 Tbsp burnt honey* 2 cups canned fruit such as peaches, apricots, or pineapple
Place the fruit on a sheet tray in a preheated 400°F oven and roast until the fruit starts to brown or caramelize. Remove the fruit from the oven and chop into bite-size pieces and divide into four servings. In a food processor or blender, combine the ricotta and the cream along with half the honey and process until whipped and fluffy, about 2 minutes. To serve, layer the cheese mixture in a bowl or glass by first putting some cheese in the bottom, then roasted fruit, then more cheese, and finally fruit on top. Drizzle on the remaining honey and serve chilled. *To make burnt honey, place 1 cup of honey into a sauté pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and allow to slightly cool. Place the honey back on the heat and bring to a boil again, then remove and allow to cool. Do this several times until the honey is reduced by about half and becomes very dark in color.
