Bruegger's brings in Spring with salads, sandwiches

April 4, 2012

Bruegger's is expanding its menu with new freshly made salads – Mediterranean Mozzarella and Thai Peanut Chicken. The limited-time-only menu also features a new breakfast option, the Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper Bagel Egg Sandwich.

The Mediterranean Mozzarella salad is built on a bed of spring lettuce topped with fresh mozzarella, toasted almonds and roasted red peppers with an authentic Spanish romesco dressing.

The Thai Peanut Chicken salad is made with grilled chicken, cucumbers, chopped peanuts and a spicy Thai peanut dressing. Both the romesco and Thai peanut dressings are original recipes made fresh at all 300-plus Bruegger’s locations. The salads are available in both café and entrée sizes, and at less than 500 calories, the café-size salads are a great low-calorie option.

Bruegger’s new breakfast option, the Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper Egg Sandwich, is a twist on the bakery’sclassic and features egg, cheese and bacon served on the new Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper bagel.

“For guests who like to season their eggs with sea salt and pepper, our new bagel egg sandwich is the perfect combination,” said Bruegger’s executive chef Philip Smith. “The savory combination is made with coarsely ground sea salt grains and milled black peppercorns for a great breakfast or lunch option.”

Rounding out this season’s featured items are three new beverage choices. The featured coffee flavor, Coconut, conjures thoughts of tropical destinations, while Bruegger’s classic and strawberry lemonade are back on the menu to signal the arrival of spring.
