CHICAGO, Sept. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- United
Airlines® and Chobani® have partnered to make one of the newest
breakfast selections for United's Choice Menu "Bistro on board"
program. As of Sept. 1, the banana
bread pudding, which was created exclusively for United, is
available on flights within the U.S. and flights to Canada, Mexico, Central
America and the Caribbean
departing between 5:00 a.m. and 9:44
a.m.
Inspired by recipes from Chobani®, United and Chobani® Chef
Jake Briere reviewed dozens of
breakfast concepts ranging from sweet to savory before landing on
the banana bread pudding, which gives United customers a taste of
fall in a comforting morning entree that is served warm. It is made
with banana bread pieces and butterscotch chips baked in a vanilla
egg custard and topped with oats, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Chobani® Vanilla Greek Yogurt is used as a substitute for heavy
cream, giving the dish a modern, healthier twist.
"Working with Chobani® to develop this recipe underscores the
importance we place on offering customers an incomparable inflight
dining experience," said Charlean
Gmunder, United's vice president of catering operations.
"Our fall menu entrees are both savory and comforting; we're
confident that our customers will find something to enjoy during
their journey."
In addition to the banana bread pudding, United introduced two
other breakfast items, a new snack and two new craft beers on Sept.
1. The Choice Menu "Bistro on board" breakfast menu will now
include overnight strawberry almond oats – coconut oatmeal with
yogurt, shredded coconut and chia seeds and strawberry compote,
topped with almond coconut granola – and a chorizo breakfast
sandwich with a cage-free fried egg, pork chorizo patty and smoked
cheddar cheese on a ciabatta roll. A new salami and cheese tray,
which includes OLLI® Genoa salami,
white cheddar cheese and flatbread crackers, has been added to the
Snack Shop. The seasonal beers on United's onboard beverage menu
also rotated to Goose Island® Midway IPA and Blue Point Brewing
Company® Toasted Lager. United is the first airline to fly the
Goose Island Midway IPA.
New cheeseburger, sandwich available in time for fall
Beginning Oct. 1, a new
cheeseburger and chicken parmesan sandwich will be available for
purchase on the lunch and dinner menu, which is offered on flights
within the U.S. and flights to Canada, Mexico, Central
America and the Caribbean
departing between 9:45 a.m. and 8:00
p.m. The new white cheddar cheeseburger is a beef patty with
white cheddar cheese on an Asiago bun. It will be served with
United's assortment of Sir Kensington's condiments, which include
chipotle mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard. The new chicken parmesan
sandwich features breaded chicken, mozzarella cheese and basil
marinara sauce on an Italian-herbed ciabatta roll.

America and the Caribbean.
