Chop and cook Sysco Classic Breakfast Sausage, fold into a seasonal risotto and serve on Asian soup spoons or endive leaves.
One great shareable idea is to cut grilled Smoked Sausage into thick slices, thread onto skewers and serve with a signature dipping sauce alongside skewered vegetables.
Make a down-home brunch casserole – eggs, sausage, cheese, & some vegetables for color and flavor – and serve from small cups and saucers instead of the predictable chafing dish.
Many signature menu items can be made into bite-sized treats with a little creativity. For example, a traditional pot roast with mashed potatoes entrée can be reimagined as roasted potato slices, topped with chunks of juicy pot roast. Or take a signature sandwich from your menu – something flavorful like a pressed Cuban, muffaletta, or hot Reuben – and slice into 2-bite finger sandwiches.
Individual and bite-sized desserts are another unique, on-trend way to sell more desserts during the holiday season. For a fun dessert, scoop a decadent Sysco Imperial French Silk Pie into individual martini glasses and offer as part of a meal combo or as a light, affordable dessert. Cake, cheesecake and pie slices can be cut into smaller portions and served together as a sampler dessert platter. Thaw-and-serve individual desserts are a quick and simple way to provide your patrons with a smaller, affordable twist on traditional desserts. One simple solution is the Bistro Collection™ Individual Desserts. They come in 12 different varieties including Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Red Velvet Layer Cake, Tiramisu and even a No Sugar Added Chocolate Cream Pie.
One additional opportunity is with Prebaked Sysco Pies and Cakes To Go. Customers hosting parties at home want their dessert to make a statement. Serving restaurant- quality Sysco desserts gives them the easy prep they require and the presentation and quality they won't find at their local grocery store.
