Mornings at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, are my favorite, especially because of the abundance of delicious breakfast options. Choose to indulge in a fantastic buffet at Makahiki, dine on classics and island specialities at ‘AMA‘AMA, or pick up light breakfast items at Ulu Cafe. If you prefer, you can also have breakfast delivered through room service!
Our talented chefs created an island-inspired frittata with egg whites and vegetables, topped with a homemade macadamia nut pesto and cheese.
Check out the cooking demo video and full recipe below. Enjoy!
