Brunch has become more than a meal. It is a moment to gather, to slow down, and to enjoy beautifully crafted food in good company. At Chef(fe) d’Oeuvre, this philosophy comes to life through carefully composed grazing platters designed to elevate everyday occasions into elegant shared experiences. Among the signature creations, The Chelsea stands out as a refined brunch platter built around an iconic element of Anglo-American breakfast culture: the English muffin.

This Signature Brunch Selection reinterprets the classic English muffin in a modern, luxurious and visually striking format designed for sharing. Presented in the Chef(fe) d’Oeuvre XL box, The Chelsea offers a curated tasting experience for 4 to 6 people, featuring 12 generously filled, sliced and arranged sandwiches that reveal four distinct recipes. Each bite balances richness, freshness and comfort, making this platter ideal for elegant mornings, weekend brunches, business meetings, or relaxed gatherings with friends.

The story behind the english muffin

The English muffin, despite its name, was popularized in the United States in the late 19th century by Samuel Bath Thomas, a British expatriate who brought his recipe to New York. Originally sold as a “toaster crumpet,” it quickly became a staple of the American breakfast table. Its soft interior, slightly crisp exterior when toasted, and characteristic nooks and crannies make it the perfect base for eggs, butter, salmon, or savory toppings.

At Chef(fe) d’Oeuvre, this humble breakfast bread is elevated into a gourmet element. Lightly toasted to achieve the ideal texture, each muffin becomes a canvas for refined ingredients, carefully layered to create both visual appeal and harmonious flavors.

Four signature recipes, one cohesive brunch experience

The Chelsea platter is built around four recipes that reinterpret classic brunch pairings with a Chef(fe) d’Oeuvre touch.

Eggs & Bacon
Soft scrambled eggs are layered with crispy bacon and finished with a silky breakfast sauce. Comforting, rich, and familiar, this combination captures the essence of the traditional Anglo-American breakfast in a refined format.

Smoked Salmon
Delicate slices of smoked salmon meet smooth cream cheese and fresh herbs on a golden English muffin. This recipe offers freshness and elegance, ideal for those who appreciate lighter yet flavorful bites.

Avocado & Cucumber
Fresh avocado spread is paired with crisp cucumber, lemon and herbs. This option brings brightness and balance to the platter, adding a modern and refreshing note.

Chicken & Mustard Butter
Tender chicken slices combined with rich mustard butter create a savory, satisfying recipe with depth and character.

Together, these four variations create a complete tasting journey that moves from indulgent to fresh, from comforting to refined.

A brunch platter designed for sharing

The Chelsea is presented in the Chef(fe) d’Oeuvre Platter XL Box (38 × 28 × 6 cm), designed for 4 to 6 people sharing 12 sandwiches. Like all Chef(fe) d’Oeuvre creations, each box is a unique composition that may vary slightly according to seasonal availability, ensuring freshness and quality at all times.

This brunch platter is ideal for:

  • Weekend brunches at home
  • Corporate breakfasts and meetings
  • Elegant informal gatherings
  • Special occasions that call for something different from traditional catering

Instead of serving separate dishes, The Chelsea offers a ready-to-share, visually stunning solution that instantly becomes the centerpiece of the table.

The Chef(fe) d’Oeuvre approach to grazing platters

Born from the global grazing platter trend, Chef(fe) d’Oeuvre takes the concept further by creating compositions inspired by seasons, occasions, and the creative vision of Cheffe Marion. Every ingredient is selected for its quality, origin and story, resulting in platters that are not only delicious but also aesthetically striking.

The Chelsea perfectly embodies this philosophy. It transforms a simple breakfast staple into a gourmet brunch experience that delights both the eyes and the palate.
