Continental Breakfast

A Continental Breakfast is a light meal to start the day.  It is accompanied by juice and tea or coffee.  You can get very creative with this breakfast and serve up some new pairings that you have never tried before.  

Go as simple and rustic as you wish or get fancy and creative with elegant pairings. A great meal for a breakfast tray served on Mother's or Father's Day!
