Breakfast buffet: The egg debate

maramarissamaramarissa member

My cater is offering to have a chef make fresh omelettes. Now these omelettes are half the size they offer in the restaurant and they still want to charge me the same price. Due to this larger expense, I'm debating on doing their breakfast casseroles instead. They will cost half the price.
It is a neat idea for the omelette bar but I wanted to know your opinions. 
Pay the extra for fresh omelettes or have a few different casseroles out.

    I would prefer the casserole. It would also be helpful if you have a large number of guests to keep the lines moving. Omelettes can take a while depending on how many they would be cooking at once.

    I'm not going to do omelettes (although I do love them) or scrambled eggs (yuck!); I'm going with a baked egg dish myself if I have any way to get them as part of my menu. Omelette bars are an okay idea but they had them for Sunday brunches when I was in college in the dorms and the line backed up; they take time to cook so unless you want your guests standing in line waiting for food, don't go that route. Unless you have 3-4 people making omelettes at the same time.

    Casserole seems more practical.

    While I do love a freshly made omlette, it sounds like the casseroles are a better option here.

    Do casseroles. No waiting, less expensive = win.

    I guess I'm the only one who will not touch an egg casserole.    Despise them.    I prefer fresh omelets any day.   






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    We're going with a frittata with veggies and feta instead of something else. 

    Plus, according to my sister, it sounds fancier.

    I'm a huge fresh omelette fan but I it can take time to make them & lines can back up quickly at those stations. I think as a guest I would apprecite the quickness that the casserole would allow for.
