Notes

Promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.

Variations: feel free to mix and match the elements according to seasons, sales, and preferences. Other items to include: bacon, strawberries, grapes, kiwi, pineapple, melon, biscuits, pancakes, or waffles.

Serving Suggestions: this is pretty much an all-inclusive meal, provided you have protein, carbs, and fruit represented as options to choose from.

Shop Your Kitchen: Anything is fair game when it comes to a snacky breakfast. Raid the pantry, fridge, and freezer for bits and bobs of meats, cheeses, fresh produce, and breads that can serve as finger foods.

Make a Meal Prep or Make Ahead:

Cook the sausage the night before and reheat prior to serving.
Cook and chill the hard cooked eggs up to 4 days prior to serving.
The grapefruits can be sliced and stored in an airtight container up to 24 hours in advance.
Spreads can be softened (as needed) and transferred to small serving dishes up to 24 hours before.
To make a meal prep: divide into meal prep boxes and chill until ready to serve.

Freeze Extra for Later: While most of the items are not freezer-friendly, the meat items are. Cook, chill, and wrap them well for freezing.

Make a Plan for Leftovers: Make snacky breakfasts for days to come. Be sure to promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. These are great for quick breakfasts, lunches, and snacks.
