I am involved in organising Charter Flights (not AirNZ) a small company.we are starting to provide little food hampers on the flights.I need some suggestions for cold finger foods .this weeks flight is early morning so brekkie type things.and would it be best to individually wrap things or make up little packets.
I have juice sorted.any other suggestions welcomed. TIA

Might not appeal to everyone, but scrambled egg in a cold croissant is quite delicious.

Okay.I have settled on Mini Croissants with cream cheese and salmon, mini Bacon and egg quiche.aspargus rolls, cereal bars and fresh strawberries.
I think they might enjoy that - I know I would LOL
Thank you for your help and inspiration.

Just make sure that the salmon and or bacon and egg quiches aren't kept at room temperature for longer than an hour!

Will do kuaka.will be refrigerated for Pilot to take out prior to departure Friday morning.
Looking at the food - I have done away with the Asparagus roll (only had large croissants no minis).adding a splosh of yoghurt to the strawbs and grapes.gosh I would be thrilled to get one of the brekkie boxes at any time LOL

Freshest brioche or panettone will work- spread with good quality strawberry preserves, mascarpone, then slices of strawberries, best breakfast ever. If you're able to grill slightly, even better with a dusting of sugar.

another filling idea for croissants, avocado and bacon; brie or camenbret with fresh strawberries (halve them and fan)

Just remember that some of us loath yoghurt with a vengeance. It might be better to serve yoghurt in the mini pots it comes in.

Fresh fruit salad Croissant with good apricot preserves or ham and tomato Good quality coffee

Any food offered to members of the public has to be produced in a commercial kitchen. It has to be packages correctly; have a use-by-date and a list of all the ingredients. It is not worth the risk offering edible consumables to risk illness, or people with allergies for you not to be able to advise what is in it. Have you given thought to offering other meal options for passengers who wont have eggs; salmon; nuts or dairy!

I love yoghurt but don't think I'd like it on grapes or strawberries - last time I made fruit salad (actually it was just quartered strawberries, diced papaya and fresh pineapple) I added some fresh mint and that was yummy - very refreshing

how nice! we are all used to getting a big fat nothing on a plane good on you!
does anyone in your house hold bake! you can make chocolate croissants about 40 mini ones to a batch its only pastry and chocolate look up nigella lawson chocolate croissant that would make you a better profit they are much crispier than soggy supermarket ones and any fool can make them
trust this fool i have made them plenty and they are always a hit! watch the you tube making of it nicer dusted with icing sugar
you can roll and prepare the pastries the night before andrefrigerate them uncooked then its 10-15 in the oven and done! yum

I bake.but this time around short notice.no profit in the brekkie box.all complimentary.but will certainly keep that in mind - I am keeping a fold of ideas for future charters

BTW, croissants and other small breads are available at the wholesalers, frozen. Just take out the number you need, thaw and bake, usually. The product is excellent.
