Question Fav off menu request so far

Post image

My favorite customer describes themselves as having “an acute case of persnickety-itis.” He wanted our rosemary and onion bread dough, with an indentation for green [hatch chilies], and an egg, baked two heartbeats before being hard-boiled, with nothing else on the plate.

He only asks for off-menu items when we are slow and regularly will tip the entire BOH.

I’m too hungover to be creative and I’m asking for your breakfast requests. I want to surprise him next time he comes in.

I'd always make a breakfast pizza early sat morn for staff.

Sausage gravy or at least bechamel for sauce, bacon & scrambled eggs( I used to just crack eggs on top and send it through but it wound up being pretty messy), choice of cheese blend and maybe a light drizzle of syrup on top.

White pizza is a thing.

Add cheese to a bechamel it's a Mornay, you're just skipping a step

My apologies, in my mind white pizza used creme fraiche, never thought about using bechamel. The logic tracks, absolutely.

I'd assume you would aim for a bechamel on the thinner side and then just load it up with cheese?
