Signature Bowls
Bowled & beautiful signature items
Three things are essential in creating craveable bowls: flavor, texture, and color. Global bowl variations are a great way to cover all three and set your restaurant apart with a unique signature item.

Persian Breakfast Bowl with Egg Ribbons
Tip: Cook rice in crispy tahdig-style; source a true Greek feta; use exotic radishes like watermelon or icicles and drizzle with pomegranate molasses to finish.
Tip: Omit the sour cherries and substitute fried eggs for the egg ribbons.
Tex Mex Migas Bowl
Tip: Make it Spanish style by swapping tostada and tortilla strips with pan-fried bread in olive oil and garlic; caramelize onions for added flavor; roast different color chilies.
Tip: Simplify with a sprinkle of queso; use breakfast sausage you have on hand instead of chorizo.
Mediterranean Morning Bowl with Fried Egg
Tip: Oven roast cherry tomatoes tossed in olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh oregano. Or add lentils into the grain trio.
Tip: Simplify by swapping out ancient grains for orzo or converted rice. Omit the chickpeas and use plain yogurt instead of making the tzatziki sauce.
Grits & Greens Egg Bowl
Tip: Swap country ham for sautéed garlic shrimp. Make cheese grits by cooking them in chicken stock, cream, and finishing with grated cheddar cheese.
Tip: Simplify using instant grits. Cook them with beef bouillon and season with margarine for a silky texture.
Deviled Egg Salad Bowl
Tip: Swap the bacon for smoked salmon, crème fraiche, and a sprinkle of caviar. Brush the bread with olive oil and grill for a smoky flavor.
Tip: Kick it up Cajun-style – trade the bacon for Andouille sausage and sprinkle with a Cajun spice blend.
A.M. Bibimbap Bowl with 6-minute Egg
Tip: For a “power” bowl, switch brown rice to an ancient grain like quinoa. Or make it vegetarian, marinate firm tofu in the short rib marinade and grill.
Tip: Substitute crispy bacon you have on hand for the short ribs and fry the egg instead.
Breakfast Panzanella Bowl With Soft Poached Eggs
Tip: Slice fresh mozzarella or add bocconcini mozzarella. Fry pancetta and capers as garnish or make the croutons from whole grain for a healthier option
Tip: Add chopped bacon and crispy fried sweet onions for a taste of the South version.
Texas Hill Country Hash Bowl with Soft Scrambled Eggs
Tip: Make a Tuscan-style version by swapping out the cornbread and brisket for fried polenta croutons and red wine braised short ribs.
Tip: Dress it down by substituting the cornbread and brisket with biscuits and breakfast pork sausage crumbles. Then drizzle with country gravy.
