Our non-traditional continental breakfast board includes sprouted whole grain toast with ripe mashed avocado served with an assortment of fresh fruit (the tart tangy flavor of blueberries are particularly delicious paired with avocado), toasted walnuts and cheese. We included a creamy melt-in-your-mouth chevre, but this breakfast would also taste great paired with salty feta or sliced gruyere cheese. Fresh brewed coffee (or tea) completes this “four star spa” continental breakfast. The perfect way to start a relaxing week-end in style, even if the rest of the day is hectic!
