When you are selecting a place to stay for a getaway there are always multiple options: a bigger chain hotel, a room in a friend or family member’s house, Airbnb, or a bed and breakfast, just to name a few. Each has its own pros and cons, but a stay in a bed and breakfast offers a unique experience that cannot be found if you stay somewhere else. The Holladay House is known for providing guests with Southern hospitality, especially during the best time of the day: breakfast.
In this blog post, you can learn about how The Holladay House locally sources most of its food, and all about breakfast being a traditional two-course meal, with a fruit course followed by a hot main entree. With over 400 reviews online where nearly everyone comments about the delicious breakfasts, it’s a true treat to enjoy breakfast at The Holladay House, with some of the freshest local ingredients.
Guests and fans of The Holladay House already know about the nearly famous Holladay Family Buttermilk Biscuits, which have even been featured on HGTV. These are delicious served with the house-made elderberry jelly and a cup of coffee from Orange County Roasters.
While the biscuits are well-known, a new favorite is closing in – crème Brulee French toast. Do you need to read that again? Crème. Brulee. French. Toast. It’s no wonder that guests include this in their reviews time and again. The beauty of this dish, other than people who are seemingly missing a sweet-tooth love it, is that it’s an overnight dish. That means it’s prepared the night before and the bread has even longer to soak up all of the custardy goodness for you to enjoy. For the innkeepers, the overnight prep means that they have more time to spend with guests in the morning.
If you’re into more of a savory breakfast, you won’t be disappointed. The crustless quiche made with farm fresh eggs and homegrown herbs satisfy even the hungriest guests. But if you’re in the mood for a different take on eggs, Sam makes some delicious frittatas in his cast-iron skillet, as well as fluffy, veggie-packed omelets.
While breakfast is a set course, rather than a menu of selections, there is no shortage of variety which keeps guests coming back year after year. Another favorite breakfast? The crepes. Reviews are partial to the spiced blueberry and the vanilla crème filled varieties. The Holladay House crepes are crafted using an old recipe and filled with a handmade, special three-cheese blend, topped with seasonal fruit like the homemade elderberry compote or fresh, local peaches. To really make it a showstopper, the crepes are served alongside the incredible, and highly popular, thick-cut bacon from Wallace Edwards.
Although breakfast is undoubtedly the best meal of the day for guests at The Holladay House, stomachs will not growl until the next morning. The Holladay House is stocked with fresh homemade cookies (that people can’t get enough of and miss when they leave) and local beer and wine for later in the day.
