Earlier this year, the New England chain [Honey Dew Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-honey-bacon-sandwich) debuted a savory new dish called the Breakfast Cup. Designed to offer consumers a more [portable morning meal solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wecook-egg-bites), the new dish provides a convenient way to enjoy familiar breakfast foods.

The Breakfast Cup from Honey Dew Donuts is a fully-balanced meal served in a handy to-go container. The meal itself consists of an eight-ounce serving of [scrambled eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-scrambled-eggs), seasoned breakfast potatoes, bacon and cheddar cheese. The dish is served made-to-order and customers can request a side of Sriracha sauce for added heat. The idea behind the dish was to pack several familiar breakfast foods into a hearty meal that could be eaten on the go.

Honey Dew Donuts' new Breakfast Cup helps the chain expand beyond its sweet offerings to provide consumers with a savory breakfast dish.
