FOOD + DRINK

Some of Hjem A.M.'s dishes include Deviled Eggs , Morning Walleye , and various Eggs Benedict flavors, like the Mojo Benedict , Salmon Benedicts , and their most popular dish, the Lobster Benedict . The deviled egg appetizers are topped with fresh salmon, crème fraiche, honey, and everything seasoning—an overall delight, according to Erik. The morning walleye is paired with a mint emulsion, potato bacon hash, and a sunny side egg, which Camillia states is a surprisingly delicious breakfast choice. When it comes to curating the menu, the Hjortnaes have a “why not”’ mentality. “We want to make breakfast and brunch different from anything people have ever had before,” stated Erik. The pair reminisced about a recent trip to New Orleans, where they experienced an authentic Banana Foster . Inspired, Erik conjured up the Ms. Mary —a banana’s foster pancake topped with banana, caramel, vanilla ice cream, cinnamon, and pecans. Often the couple will spend nights reading a multitude of recipes, researching different ways of exploring breakfast. The seasonal Japanese French Toast originated from this method. The french toast is topped with green tea ice cream, nori, and miso butter. “Our dishes are unique and take your palate on a journey,” said Erik.

“ERIK AND I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE IMPECCABLE SERVICE AND PUSH THE BAR WITH OUR FOOD.” -Camillia Hjortnaes
