Tex-Mex Breakfast Bake  Recipe

This flavor-packed take on breakfast casserole is a great way to use up leftover Texas toast or garlic bread. Rich, indulgent, and spicy, its gooeyness is perfectly complimented by the tang from the crema, which can be found in a Latin market. Play around with frozen toast flavors to spice things up, or serve it as breakfast for dinner.

Sausage-Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole Recipe

This is one of our top-rated recipes for a reason: It's easy, it's quick, and it's absolutely delicious. Combine frozen hash brown potatoes with sausage, eggs, and cheese for a hearty, 5-star breakfast or brunch casserole that can be prepped ahead and baked the next morning. Sauté one large onion and one bell pepper in the pork drippings for extra flavor and color. Tip from the recipe developer: To make mini frittatas, cook in 6-inch cast-iron skillets for 30 minutes at 375. Top with sliced avocados, pico de gallo, and a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with green onions.

Be-Still-My-Heart Breakfast Pizza Recipe

As delicious as cold, last-night's pizza can be for breakfast, some occasions call for a little something extra. Perfectly cooked eggs, tender heart-shaped dough with a crisp bottom, and traditional hot Italian sausage make the cutest morning pizza. Add whatever extra toppings you, or whomever you're making this for, love. Just make sure not to crack the egg into the bacon heart, because it won't cook.

Mini Breakfast Pizzas Recipe

This mini breakfast pizza is glorious: A pizza and salad combo that makes for a delicious weekend breakfast or brunch but also works nicely as a dinner. You can buy whole-wheat pizza dough in the freezer section of your grocery store, or from your favorite local pizza shop, or get a mix from Amazon. We like to par-bake the dough a bit first so it comes out perfectly crispy without overcooking the egg. If you don’t like runny yolks, cook each pizza for an additional couple of minutes.

Embrace breakfast’s savory side with this whole-grain bowl. This simple one-dish meal is crowned with a soft-boiled egg; the nutrient-rich yolk creates its own creamy sauce. New research shows that eating eggs with raw vegetables like tomatoes increases your absorption of carotenoids—antioxidants that may protect against heart disease.

Spicy Breakfast Taquitos Recipe

Whether you eat them freshly made or defrosted from a box at 2 a.m, there’s no denying that taquitos are good and pure. In fact, they’re so great that we should probably be eating taquitos for breakfast. While there’s nothing wrong with going to town on whatever type of taquito you like at 8 a.m., but why not embrace filings that are slightly more breakfast-y?

Fattet Djaj Is the Perfect Savory Breakfast for Egg-Haters

Fattet Djaj Is the Perfect Savory Breakfast for Egg-Haters Recipe

For those who don’t love eggs, savory breakfast can pose a bit of a challenge. While you could simply reheat last night’s dinner and call it a day, you should know that eggless savory breakfast can be way more exciting. Allow me to introduce you to fatteh. A type of southern Levantine dish of warm pieces of flatbread covered in hearty toppings like chicken, tongue, beef, eggplant, or chickpeas, fatteh is made in a multitude of regional styles. New York City’s Au Za’atar currently has their own version of the dish (they make it in the Lebanese style) on their brunch menu.

Breakfast Lasagna Will Get You Through These Next Few Days Recipe

Why don’t we make ratatouille for breakfast more often? Winter breakfasts tend to slant sweet and warm—gooey cinnamon rolls, thick porridge smeared with jam, chocolate babka—but what about the savory? Specifically, what about the vegetables? Ratatouille proves that vegetables can be used in the morning outside of an omelet. This vegetable dish is so strong it can actually stand on its own if you don’t eat eggs. Of course our recipe calls for a dozen, but if you’re opting out, just toss in a can of cooked chickpeas for some protein.

Breakfast Biscuit Sliders Recipe

Whether you’re looking for a solo power breakfast or have to feed brunch to a crowd, breakfast tacos are the way to go. Of course, you could go the classic route—scramble a bunch of eggs, brown chorizo, and fry a mess of potatoes to stuff into tortillas—and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that. However, if you’re looking for an alternative, look no further than pancake breakfast tacos. Pancake breakfast tacos are exactly what you’re picturing: all the delightful innards of a classic breakfast taco tucked cozily inside a warm pancake.

Pancake Breakfast Tacos Recipe

We’re always here for a riff on classic breakfast tacos (see: pancake tacos), so get ready to stuff a paratha with your favorite fillings. The flaky flatbread gets its rich flavor from a mixture of bread flour and whole wheat flour, plus plenty of melted ghee. It may seem like magic, but those light layers are the result of accordion folding and rolling the dough into a spiral before rolling it out and repeating. Sounds tricky, but after watching this video and practicing it in real life, you’ll get the hang of rolling a paratha in no time.

Fried Egg and Rye Breakfast Salad Recipe

Yes, that’s right—breakfast salads! They’re a thing, and they’re fantastic. If this concept is new to you, just hear me out, please. A salad in the morning is a great way to work in a serving or two of veggies (or whole grains, or fruit—more to come in this series!) right off the bat. They’re light, fresh, and balanced, preventing that all-too-familiar carb/sugar overload that’ll have you crashing an hour or two later.

Breakfast Pizza Pockets Taste Like Childhood Recipe

If you ever heated up a tray of pizza pockets for an after-school snack as a kid, listen up. Breakfast pockets take just a little more time to make, but are even more satisfying because you get to pick the fillings. Pick up a package of pre-made frozen pizza dough (or make your own, if you’re feeling homestead-y), roll it out, and slice it into square—large for bigger pockets, smaller for mini pockets. Fill the dough with eggs, cheese, and meat if you like, bake the pockets, and breakfast is served. Better yet, you could make a batch of breakfast pockets on Sunday night and reheat one before you head to work for the next couple days.

Make a Lobster Roll Breakfast Taco This Weekend Recipe

For some Northeasterners, it’s not summer until the first lobster roll has been consumed. If you’re not planning a trip to Maine in the near future (or you just aren’t into that much mayo on a sandwich), the lobster roll breakfast taco is calling your name. Pairing tender chunks of lobster meat with creamy scrambled eggs instead of the mayonnaise-y lobster salad, the lobster roll breakfast taco also makes its home inside a charred tortilla instead of a hot dog bun. We might be about to loose the lobster roll purists, but just give this guy a chance.

Make Loaded Breakfast Nachos Out of Pancakes Recipe

Who says nachos have to be savory? Our favorite finger food is just as popular in a sweeter version—plus, this one has pancakes, and we just can’t say that about classic nachos. These breakfast nachos mashes up everything we love about a fat stack of pancakes with a bit of culinary magic—also known as frying—to transform the pancakes into triangular “chips.” Classic pancake toppings (fresh berries, chocolate syrup, whipped cream) are re-envisioned as nacho adornments, and we can’t say we’re mad about that.

Egg in a Waffle Hole Is What Breakfast Dreams Are Made Of Recipe

Will we ever tire of egg-in-a-hole foods? No. No, we won't. And why would we—the egg-in-a-hole allows us to to mashup our favorite breakfast food (runny yolk, of course) inside anything that could possibly complement a fried egg. This egg-in-a-hole, waffle edition, takes the trend back to breakfast basics, placing a jammy egg in the center of a classic buttermilk waffle.

Chicken and Waffles Are the Best Clucking Breakfast Ever Recipe

No one’s quite sure where the tradition of pairing fried chicken and crispy waffles first originated (some believe it was at Roscoe’s in Los Angeles). Chef Kyle Bailey from DC’s Birch & Barley shared his version, one of the stars of a brunch menu that draws crowds—and long lines—every weekend. He wisely selects chicken thighs to brine in buttermilk and spices before dredging them in a heavily seasoned flour mixture and frying to a shattering crispness; the thighs never lose their natural juiciness.

Make-Ahead Breakfast Enchiladas for Your Sunday Brunch Party Recipe

A home cook’s definition of misery: inviting friends over for breakfast and hectically running around the kitchen while everyone else mingles and knocks back mimosas. With this recipe, you can entertain with ease. Assemble this make-ahead breakfast special the night before and wake up to fully loaded enchiladas for ten or more. Minimal fuss, maximum flavor. After all, who can resist fluffy, soft eggs, salty ham, and melty cheese cocooned in warm tortillas? Absolutely no one. Got leftovers? Much like chili, these enchiladas are even better reheated the day after.

Breakfast Sushi with Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Recipe

One of the finest staples of New York City breakfast culture is the bodega BEC, or bacon, egg, and cheese. This sandwich, whether on a roll or a bagel is generally a foil-wrapped godsend purchased on the go for cheap. It combats hangovers, fills your belly, and tastes damn good no matter how crappy it was executed. The only downside to the BEC is that it's a gutbomb. You don't want to do hot yoga post-BEC.

Potatoes have been a breakfast staple for a long time, but until some genius decided to turn hash browns into little fried cylinders Americans didn't know the joy of tater tots. Who doesn’t love french fries that are engineered for breakfast? For those of us who understand the importance of the tater tot as a meal and not just a side dish, you can throw them in your breakfast mac n cheese or make a full-on tater tot casserole that will make your little tater-loving heart happy. But the ultimate tater tot-lover’s dream is eggs Benedict totchos.

Currently the chef and co-owner of Foreign Cinema in San Francisco, Pirie makes what might be the fanciest omelet imaginable: a Champagne omelet with truffle. "The omelet recipe comes from our desire to elevate beloved classic food with truffle and Champagne, should you feel celebratory in life's moments, it’s a dish to feel special about," she explains.

How to Make a Healthy Breakfast Sandwich That's Actually Good Recipe

English muffins and sausage are a natural breakfast pair with a fried egg, but they also translate beautifully into a quick and healthy sandwich. The crisp outside and craggy surface of a split English muffin makes it ideal for sandwiches. We swap the egg and cheese for crisp, tart apple and sautéed spinach. The spread is a clever hacked version of béarnaise—creamy from the mayo yet bright with tarragon and vinegar. Use bulk turkey breakfast sausage. For thin, round apple slices, cut crosswise from end to end, and then remove any seeds.

Take a bag of Fritos, preferably the snack-sized ones you can grab in vending machines. Open it. Dump in a few scoops of chili, maybe some scallions, cheese, sour cream, salsa, or a spritz of lime juice, and dig in. You could use a fork or chopsticks to avoid dropping chili and salsa on yourself, or just dig right in with your hands. Chips count as utensils.

Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos Are What Stand Between You and Despair This Winter Recipe

These freeze well, which means you can do a big cook, roll the burritos up, and stash them in the freezer for rushed mornings or breakfast-for-dinner occasions. But before you go putting anything in the freezer, remember: Everything will freeze, but not everything will reheat in a way that you’ll want to eat it. In terms of breakfast burrito ingredients, think soft creamy dairy things (sour cream, goat cheese, feta, queso fresco, etc.), avocado, most pickles, and potatoes.

This Egg and Cheese Pie Is Everything Your Stomach Desires Recipe

This cheesy, egg-topped pastry may look like a big yellow eye, but that shouldn’t stop you from burrowing deep inside it the moment the dish comes out of the oven. Khachapuri, a traditional Georgian egg and cheese pie, is typically filled with sulguni, a brined cheese similar to mozzarella in elasticity and feta in its salty-sourness.

Crab Cake Eggs Benedict Is a Quintessential Chesapeake Bay Breakfast Recipe

In the summers, we rented houses on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, took my uncles’ boats out into the bay, and fished for crab all day long. Grandma always picked the crabs like a pro and turned them into those exceptional crab cakes. Serving that very same recipe at midtown Manhattan’s David Burke fabrick reminds me every day that we are all family. Every customer that walks into our small dining room gets treated the same way my grandmother treated all of us on those cozy Sunday afternoons and warm summer evenings.

Bacon-Hash Brown Quiche Recipe

Meet your new favorite dinner—or lunch or breakfast. In this crowd-pleasing recipe, we replaced the usual pastry shell with a golden crust made from shredded potatoes and bacon. Kitchen shears are useful for cutting raw or cooked slices of bacon into small pieces. Blind-baking the crust is key to getting it crisp. We also gave the filling a flavorful boost with Gruyère cheese and a touch of Dijon mustard.

This Bacon and Egg Fried Rice Recipe Is a New Twist On an Old Favorite

This Bacon and Egg Fried Rice Recipe Is a New Twist On an Old Favorite Recipe

Fried rice might not scream "brunch" to you, but to Stephen Gillanders, the executive chef of Chicago restaurant Intro, it was a natural fit for their new menu. As its name might indicate, Intro is used to introducing new concepts: the restaurant switches their menu every few months. At the end of February, Intro launched a modern Chinese dim sum brunch.  “Traditionally, dim sum is a brunch time meal, so introducing a Sunday brunch menu at Intro was very natural,” Gillanders explained in an email. “It gave us chefs a broader rage to work with creatively, while providing our guests another opportunity to enjoy a different dim sum experience.” Though the chefs were playing around familiar Chinese dishes, like steamed dumplings and egg drop soup, Gillanders still wanted to be sure to incorporate iconic brunch ingredients, like smoked salmon or bacon and eggs.

“Whenever I think of dishes I love eating, I look for similarities in Chinese cuisine to see if there are ways we can incorporate them into the menu,” explains Gillanders. And adding eggs and bacon to rice just made sense. “Fried rice traditionally includes eggs and a pork component so using bacon as the pork component was a natural choice.”

This recipe calls for cold, yet cooked, rice, so it’s perfect if you ordered Chinese takeout the night before. Besides, it’s the bacon and eggs that are the star of this show, not the rice itself. “We don't add soy sauce or any other vegetables to keep it light and focused,” says Gillanders.

But just because this fried rice is simple, doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a kick. "I top the rice with some crumbled bacon for a textural crunch and serve the dish with a side of house made sriracha vinegar,” because, Gillanders explains, “I love Sriracha with my eggs, in general, and it perfectly accents the dish.”

Bacon and Egg Fried Rice

First, make a Ginger-Garlic Mix.

Then, make the Sriracha Vinegar.

Now, put it all together, and make your Bacon and Egg Fried Rice.
