    A collage of our best Breakfast ideas!

    We’re always on the search for delicious breakfast ideas! Breakfast might be one of our favorite meals of the day. We believe it really is the most important meal of the day; starting our days off with a good breakfast helps sets a positive tone for the rest of the day. We both have more energy and tend to not mindlessly snack as much after fueling up in the morning.

    We’ve put together a list of 40+ ridiculously delicious breakfast ideas for you all. We’re so excited about every single one of these breakfast recipes! From egg-centric recipes, healthier options, sweet treats and much more – there’s truly something for everyone here!

    Breakfast Ideas with Eggs, Yes Please!

    • Eggs are probably one of our favorite things to eat for breakfast and our Baked Egg Boats are top notch! It’s the most delicious quiche you will ever eat, but baked into a crusty, toasted baguette instead of a pie crust. It’s hands down one of our best breakfast creations!
    • If you have a little more time on your hands, you need to make these Twice Baked Breakfast Potatoes! It’s one of our favorite breakfast ideas with eggs! They’re so decadent and delicious and a perfect breakfast to make and enjoy on a lazy weekend!
    • These Cheesy Flaky Breakfast Cups are perfect when you’re making breakfast or brunch for a crowd. It’s really easy to get these whipped up once you have all your ingredients together.
    • We might be bias, but we think our take on Egg McMuffins with ham are better than the original. They’re easy to make, ridiculously delicious and a total crowd pleaser! These not so little egg muffins will make anyone happy!
    • Our Hash Brown Crust Bacon and Cheddar Quiche is another crowd pleaser that we LOVE! The hash brown crust is playful, delicious and also freezes really well!
    • Our Croque Madame Toast is definitely not to be missed. It’s one of our favorite, indulgent egg recipes for breakfast; plus it’s so easy to make!
    • We think our Chorizo and Fried Egg Breakfast Tacos are the ultimate breakfast tacos! They’re crazy delicious and can easily be made vegetarian friendly by swapping the chorizo our for soy chorizo!
    • If you want to dress up simple scrambled eggs, you’ll love our Pesto Topped Soft Scrambled Eggs with Bacon. Top them with some halved cherry tomatoes for some added freshness! Yum!

    • We love Bacon Gruyere and Green Onion Scones. Not only is it one of our favorite easy breakfast ideas, but it’s also a really great grab and go breakfast!
    • Biscuits and Gravy is another indulgent meal that we totally love. The biscuits are soft, fluffy, buttery and perfect for sopping up all the creamy sausage gravy!
    • Delicious homemade Gravlax is another recipe that seems like it’s really hard to make, but it’s not at all!
    • Huevos Rancheros are always a big yes for us! We love this breakfast idea with eggs so much! There are so many big, delicious flavors going on and we’re very into it!

    • We love our fresh and delicious Heirloom Tomato Tart! It’s a delicious breakfast recipe that can actually be enjoyed anytime of the day!
    • Move over avocado toast – our Breakfast Scramble Stuffed Avocados are the perfect, more indulgent but low-carb breakfast idea that everyone loves. They can be made in under 10 minutes and the recipe can be scaled up or down so easily!
    • One of our favorite healthy breakfast ideas is this Green Shakshuka. It’s filled with sautéed spinach, soft cooked eggs and topped with creamy avocado slices and a light sprinkle of queso fresco.
    • We are very much into these Cheesy Skillet Sweet Potato Hash Brown and Eggs. They’re easy to make and always a hit. If you love sweet potatoes, you’ll love this delicious and easy breakfast idea!

Switch things up from the typical maple syrup and finish them off with a drizzle of warm almond butter or peanut butter for an extra delicious breakfast and treat all rolled into one!

    Quick and Easy Breakfast Ideas, You Got It!

    • A quick breakfast idea that we really love is our Coconut Banana Pancakes! They’re so easy to make and so satisfying! They’re perfect for any morning of the week too! We love drizzling them with some maple syrup and finishing them with some crushed almonds (or other nuts like pistachios or walnuts) for texture!
    • Extra Cheesy Breakfast Grilled Cheese is totally a thing and we’re all about it. We promise it’ll be one of the best breakfast sandwiches you’ll ever tasted.
    • If you’ve never had Honey Brick Toast before, you’re in for such a treat. A sweet custard is slathered onto thick pieces of milk bread (or other soft bread like brioche) and baked until sweet, toasty and totally addicting.
    • Our Savory Herb French Toast is for people who prefer savory breakfasts over sweet ones. It’s so good, especially with a fried egg thrown on top!
    • Another savory quick breakfast idea we love is our Herb and Cheese Dutch Baby. Just toss all the batter ingredients into a blender, pour into a hot skillet, bake, add cheese, bake again and enjoy!

    • Breakfast Pot Pies? Yes, totally a thing! These stick to your ribs pot pies are so good! One of our favorite weekend breakfast ideas for sure!
    • Our Loco Moco with Mushroom Gravy is another one of those stick to you ribs weekend breakfasts that we love! This dish can actually be enjoyed for dinner too, which we’re done on a number of occasions. We also love sticking some sautéed or steamed spinach on the side to help lighten things up.
    • This Breakfast Tart is basically our excuse to toss simple breakfast ingredients onto a flaky sheet of puff pastry. It’s so easy to throw together; just add a salad on the side and you have a complete breakfast for dinner sitch on your hands!
    • Chilaquiles is another favorite indulgent breakfast over here. Our version is makes a simplified red sauce, but still packs so much flavor and texture. We could eat this everyday.
    • If you love shrimp and creamy cheesy things we guarantee you’ll love our Shrimp and Grits recipe! There’s so much flavor in the spice blend for the shrimp, with a small kick, which pairs them perfectly with the creamiest, cheesiest grits ever!
    • If nachos are an acceptable dinner then so is our Breakfast Poutine with Hollandaise Sauce! It’s not a casual every night dinner, but definitely something to pull out every now and then when you really want to indulge!

      So good! I cooked it at 400 instead of 375 and also put the hashbrowns in the broiler for an additional 5 minutes to get that crispy texture!
