Favorite breakfasts?

8 years ago

What is your favorite breakfast? Mine is waffles with whipped cream, strawberries and blueberry sauce. Yes, not very healthy but I rarely make it!

    For years it was a sliced apple, slice of cheese, and large mug of black coffee. Now because a digestive problem with the natural sorbitol in apples I seldom have it.

    I am a veteran of many many years of tailgate meals...we are at least 1 1/2 hours from tail gate site....and "back in the day" the Iowa Hawks often started a game at 11:)0 for the TV crowd. One game was always designated as "The quiche game"....and I made at least 4 quiche... I made and par baked the crusts the night before....shredded the cheese, cooked and crumbled the bacon, chopped the scallions and sauteed the mushrooms. Then in the AM....as I staggered around waiting for the coffee to drip and the oven to heat, I mixed in the blender, eggs and milk and cream and seasonings. dumped the veggies, cheese and bacon into the pie crust, filled it with seasoned milk, cream and eggs and into the oven for 40 minutes while I showered and drank coffee and DH loaded the car with blankets, wine, bloody marys etc. When the quiche were done I put them directly from the oven into a cooler lined with many layers of newspapers and a terry towel, covered the pie with another overturned pie plate, a towel and more newspaper. I could stack 2 pies to a cooler ( or a Hotter...but how do it know>>:-) Fritattas can be made in a similar manner....bake and refrigerate the night before, re heat and pack into a cooler. Also sausage gravy works too....make the night before....re-heat and put into a thermos....bake biscuits and re heat over the grill in foil. Also make a fritatta and a big pan of sticky buns....and you will be a princess in everyone's eyes.

    We are breakfast eaters. Most mornings that is cereal with fruit and 1% milk and a cup of coffee. Often we'll have an English muffin or toast when DH returns from walking our Westie. Sunday is eggs over easy or scrambled, bacon, a Danish, OJ and coffee. And the Sunday paper. I love eggs! My GM had two soft-boiled eggs on toast every morning of her (long) life. I like soft-boiled or poached best, but DH likes fried, so that's what I make. When I was a schoolgirl, I often had Egg 'n Orange and toast. (OJ with a raw egg beaten into it.) Now, onboard ship DH, DS and I would order 'the works' delivered to our cabin -- eggs, bacon, sausuage, French toast, juice, coffee, hot chocolate...I may have left something out!

    Chocolate chip pancakes, as invented by our Boy Scout Troop. In planning for a camp-out, they had forgotten to buy blue berries. The Scout cooking breakfast that morning grabbed a box of chocolate chips and dumped it into the batter. The taste was quite acceptable, but woe unto the dishwasher. The pancakes were cooked on a hot griddle over a campfire and wherever a chocolate chip touched the griddle, it left a black dot that refused to come off with normal amount of scrubbing. LOL.

    Slice of 100% organic whole wheat bread (I make it) with cinnamon and peanut butter and jelly, decaf on the side.

  • 8 years ago

    I love all breakfast foods except sausage and biscuits, but only for lunch or dinner. For breakfast, I eat high fiber cereal with almond milk and sometimes, a few berries.

    My favorite would be two blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup. Usually have blueberry English muffin ( what can I say, I like blueberries) a slice of raisin bread or a bagel with coffee and jam or honey. Sometimes a poached egg.

  • 8 years ago

    I don't really have a favorite....I tend to eat the same thing several days in a row....like lately, pancakes. Sometimes I eat left overs from the night before....like chicken and dumplings, is a favorite. Sometimes it is nothing but an avocado and a piece of toast. I eat whatever I have on hand or what I am hungry for. I always eat a bite before I go out and feed the horses....usually something quick...like, maybe a piece of toast....so I can take my vitamins. I come in about an hour later and eat breakfast. I don't have any dietary restrictions. The main thing is I eat. I don't feel very good if I skip breakfast.

  • 8 years ago

    My usual breakfast is a fried egg sandwich on toast with swiss cheese and a slice of ham and an espresso and cold milk. A favorite special is homemade crepes usually a ham and swiss crepe, sometimes followed by a sour cream and lingonberry crepe.

    Shortly after we were married, my wife mentioned a restaurant near where she grew up that offered Sour Cream and Lingonberry crepes. I had never heard of lingonberries and scoffed asserting it was a made-up berry like Snozzberries (from Dr. Seuss) or Crunchberries (from Captain Crunch)

  • 8 years ago

    I'm still enjoying my fruit and veggie sludgies whipped up in my NutriBullet. I make them with a mixture of fresh dark greens and a combination of berries, apples, pineapple, a slice of lemon, maybe a bit of greek yogurt, and a scoop of protein powder. I use water or one of the nut milks for my liquid.

    That is my favorite breakfast.

    My morning coffee includes strong cinnamon, dark cocoa powder, and a big tsp. of Ghee.

    Some mornings, I have a couple of mini egg muffins made with eggs, chopped onion, peppers, and a bit of cheese. Also good with some salsa, spinach, bacon, and hot sauce. I bake then freeze them for a good quick microwave breakfast on the go.

  • 8 years ago

    My favorite breakfast is biscuits with sausage gravy. I hardly ever have it, though. Normal breakfast is something light and quick.

  • 8 years ago

    Not a breakfast eater but I've been trying. Lately I have been eating around 10am hours after I'm up. I found awhile ago that I really like instant oatmeal with brown sugar and maple. I know this is basically junky food.

    The boys eat a lot of steel cut oats that I cook in the small crock pot over night with a slice of toast with peanut butter and they split a banana. Its their fav. My husband loves peanut butter toast and cheerios. Forget Amiee eating breakfast she's rarely up in the morning.

  • 8 years ago

    Now I love soft boiled eggs over buttered rye toast with couple slices turkey bacon.

    Used to be favorite ever when I cooked for family: bacon wrapped baked eggs, sliced garden fresh tomatoes, home crispy hasbrowns, and biscuits. Has been forever since I served that for breakfast. Making myself drool.

    Favorite or what I usually eat? Not the same at all! Nearly every morning, I have a sliced banana with a carton of Chobani Almond Coco Loco yoghurt over it. Love it and it's quick and nutritious.

    What do I order if I go out? Poached eggs (soft) on multi-grain toast, bacon and hash browns. A really good cinnamon roll with raisins (impossible to find anymore) with it would be great, too! Also, if I didn't have reflux, a big glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Always herbal tea.

  • 8 years ago

    Oh man I love breakfast -- any time of day. Since we've retired and have more time in the mornings, dear husband and I most often eat cooked oatmeal. Not the instant, not in a microwave. I like adding fruit such as craisins, banana, or a mix of diced dried pineapple & papaya, and a good splash of milk. Canned evaporated milk for a special treat.

    Now tomorrow, I'm planning on trying a new thing. Just this afternoon, a shop keeper from Iraq told me that when he was a boy, his favorite treat was dates and eggs. His mother would take some dates -- nice plump medjool dates like I had just purchased from him -- mash them in a pan, cook them in a little butter, then crack an egg on top. It would give him energy all day! It's still his favorite sandwich! Well, I'll let ya'll know tomorrow how it tastes :-)

  • 8 years ago

    Every day....a banana with peanut butter, yogurt, and cranberry and orange juice mixed together.

  • 8 years ago

    Chocolate protein powder(2 scoops), 1 banana, 6 ice cubes, 1 cup almond milk in my blender almost every morning. Love the taste and it keeps me going for hours.

    My favorite isnt at all what I eat every day, or even often. But I love a homemade southern biscuit with butter, a slice of crisp thick sliced bacon, poached egg, bowl of grits with butter, and a little honey or apple butter for the biscuit. What I eat is entirely different, cooked oatmeal and fruit or a green shake, sometimes an egg.

  • 8 years ago

    Lots of good breakfasts listed here -- I'm totally tempted by the blueberry pancakes -- but THE BEST hasn't been mentioned yet: Soft boiled eggs over stuffing. Oh, so good. But my favorite everyday breakfast is stone cut oatmeal with a spoonful of cinnamon chips and a splash of buttermilk ... or avocado toast ... and I make an excellent Eggs Benedict (I don't make it quite traditional). Today I had homemade biscuits and sausage gravy, which was oh-so-Southern and delicious, but -- because of the calories -- not for everyday.

    When my daughter went away to college, she was thrilled that the cafeteria served B4D every Thursday night -- so we've picked up the habit at home.



  • 8 years ago

    I have all sorts of favorite breakfast meals but I don't necessarily eat them at breakfast time. I like breakfast late night or even for dinner. I enjoy eating breakfast out but never the typical bacon and egg type. I only like bacon and eggs done at home.

    My first meal of the day even in the early AM could just as easily be a hamburger, sandwich or leftovers instead of traditional breakfast food. I feel best if there is protein involved. I could never do a stack of pancakes , a waffle or cereal and call it a meal. They don't seem much different than eating cake for breakfast.

  • 8 years ago

    Mashed avocado on toast or scrambled eggs with fresh dill or salsa. For a treat ... buttermilk pancakes with real maple syrup.

  • 8 years ago

    Macerated fresh strawberries on waffles topped with about two cups of whipped cream, with bacon on the side. That would be my favorite. However, I have Barbara's Morning Oats with fresh berries and coffee every day

  • 8 years ago

    Spinach, mushroom, bacon and pepper jack cheese omelet with an English muffin, crispy hash browns and a small serving of fresh fruit salad.

    I also like plain yogurt with honey, granola and fresh fruit.

  • 8 years ago

    Favorite is a Dark Chocolate, Frosted Entenmanns Chocolate Donut and an ice cold glass of milk. But I only have that once or twice a week. Usually it's a bowl of steamed old fashioned oats with wheat toast.

  • 8 years ago

    Last time I made beans (pinto)...I was addicted to a corn tortilla layered with beans topped with a fried egg topped with some salsa...I would CRAVE it!!!

  • 8 years ago

    I don't eat as soon as I'm up but an hour or so later I have a brunch/lunch . I have the same thing every day. Heavy grained bread with sliced avocado, mozzarella cheese and hard boiled egg in the panini press for three minutes. A large soup bowl of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, watermelon and cherries, OJ and coffee. Every day. I am boring. I do have a different dinner every day though.

  • 8 years ago

    A very filling and healthy protein smoothie. I am quite sure this is the reason I rarely if ever get colds: 1/2 c blueberries; 1/2 cup cranberries; 1 Tbl each of almond butter and mixed seeds (flax, hemp, chia); 2-3 walnuts; 1/4 avocado; 1 scoop quality whey protein powder. Makes a big smoothie.

    Alternately, I have two eggs cooked in butter, rolled in a low carb wrap (Ole Extreme Wellness is my favorite).

    I like breakfast food, just don't eat them until later in the day. An egg sandwich w/ cheese & ham. Or a belgian waffle. Or eggs w/ salsa.

    I have a carmel macchiato every morning.

  • 8 years ago

    Breakfast is by far my favorite meal......although I may not always eat it at breakfast time :-) I have numerous 'favorite' breakfasts but they are things I have rarely or only on occasion .........and not necessarily in the morning. Most make a great supper as well. Eggs Benedict, huevos rancheros with tomatillo sauce, kippers and toast, bagels and lox, chicken liver and mushroom omelette, bacon butty, sourdough waffles, hash with just about any leftover meat and veggies.

    And to be deadly honest, both my dog and I are huge fans of McDonald's Sausage McMuffin :-) That's my go-to, early, on-the-go breakfast treat!

    I tried dates & eggs this morning. It was pretty good -- quite sweet, I can see how it would appeal especially to little kids. I'll add it to the list of things I cook occasionally.

  • 8 years ago

    overnight oatmeal w/ banana., egg white scramble with franks red hot, nutritional yeast, parmesan cheese on sprouted bread with laughing cow light swiss cheese and tomato, coffee with mct oil, collagen, whey and truvia, whipped in a blender. blueberry pancakes, THM way.

  • 8 years ago

    Anyone tried cloud eggs? I have, many many years ago. I served it over toast, but now you can find cloud eggs, not baked on toast but parchment paper. May have to make myself one soon.

  • 8 years ago

    I like a protein filled breakfast with toast and some potatoes, but my doctors are suggesting otherwise. If I had my way, there would be sausage, bacon, eggs, toast, fried potatoes and juice. I'm cutting carbs, calories, and fat. Oatmeal, some fruit and milk based products sometimes make me feel bad. I've gone to what I call the scrambled omelet... eggs, diced onion, cilantro, bell peppers, asparagus, mushrooms and whatever veggies I have on hand. I can handle grapefruit so sometimes I eat half of one of those or an orange or banana.

  • 8 years ago

    I've never heard of cloud eggs, will have to look that up.

    I love nearly all "breakfast" dishes, from simply traditional to more ornate quiches, stratas, and Eggs Benedict, and more unusual fare too like leftovers from dinner. Recently though, I have realized that grain heavy breakfasts don't really seem to sustain me all that well. I do still make oatmeal/apple biscuits but make sure to something protein bearing into them (nuts, seeds, diced meat/poultry).

    So recently I've been making a big effort to get a solid protein and a veggie with every breakfast. I use my nutribullet (love that thing) with the usual concoctions of greens and other veggies, a fruit, protein powder, yogurt or cottage cheese, and usually some of my hot tea to make it warmer.

    Right now my favorite breakfast is a sweet potato, topped with sautéed greens and a fried egg. It is really satisfying.

  • 8 years ago

    My favorite is what I go out for, because I seldom make it at home (because I would eat it all, if I did, LOL): corned beef hash with poached eggs, and a slice of buttered rye toast - really good rye bread, please!

    We eat differently every day - sometimes breakfast foods, sometimes lunch foods, sometimes just leftovers. Always late morning/mid-day, anywhere from 11a to noon.

    Coffee or tea in the early morning.

  • 8 years ago

    Oatmeal, banana, walnuts, black coffee.

    A variable from time to time is one egg, bagel, half avocado.

    Brown the bagel in fry pan, flip over, spread with avocado, drop egg in center and cook to soft. Delicious!

  • 8 years ago

    I could eat breakfast food any time of day . I enjoy oatmeal ,, avocado toast with coffee, or a fav French toast, soaked in egg not dipped with Blackburn's Butter Pecan syrup.

    Bob_cville, try IHOP Swedish crepes with lingdonberry butter . My Norwegian grandmother made a rice pudding , risgrud, at Christmas time and the sauce was made from lingdonberries. I can order them online but have to admit it's easier to thicken grape juice .

    Anglophilia...Almond Coco loco is a real treat !

    I have a really inconsistent schedule,so breakfast is odd for me.

    I work 12 hour night shifts. Our schedule is set up so we work 4 days(nights) and then we are off 4. On my work days I don't eat until I get to work, and it's whatever i grab on the way. Could be pizza,burgers,tacos,a salad, anything really. I guess that counts as breakfast. I have a full kitchen at my disposal at work,so i should be ashamed of myself.On my off days, I keep a more "normal" schedule recently,and almost never cook for just me. So for breakfast,its whatever SO wants. Here lately he wants sausage,egg and cheese sandwiches on white toast. Sometimes it's pancakes with bacon and sausage. And sometimes it's a full on big breakfast, which consists of rice,scrambled eggs with cheese, fried potatoes,bacon,sausage, and either biscuits or what we call "butter bread" which I guess is kinda like Texas toast,just regular bread fried in butter on both sides.(I usually just eat the eggs,one meat and potatoes)

    I am about to restart my low carb life,so lots of eggs and some sort of meat or veggie with it.

    I wish I liked oatmeal or something else healthy. Mom used to make us cream of wheat. It wasn't until I was all grown up that I realized that it was NOT supposed to be a solid block floating around in a pool of milk. (Bless her heart,shes a terrible cook)

    For regular everyday breakfast I just eat two poach soft eggs and banana and peanut butter.

    My favorite breakfast is a stuffed omelet. I prefer onions peppers shrimp mushrooms, cheddar cheese and salsa. For a side dish I like pan-fried sweet potatoes with a mustard salsa sauce. And then I have a hot cinnamon and milk drink. For DH it would be two high pancakes sweet potatoes with salsa and a half of an omelet. He drinks tea at home and coffee at the restaurants

    Blueberry and sour cream blintzes. I don't make them. Gotta find a local restaurant that makes them.

    Eggs Benedict. A local restaurant makes a version using a corn muffin and chorizo that is excellent.

    B4D = breakfast for dinner! It's a favorite in our household, too.

    Breakfast for dinner for us is always (why?!) blueberry pancakes. And the last one has to be humongous, as big as the electric skillet can handle. Just had those last weekend, but it was very early on Saturday and regular size. My favorite is crabcakes benedict (comes from growing up in Monterey, CA. Crab with everything :)

    last modified: 8 years ago

    sports fanatic, that sounds unpalatable. Unflavored. In what way do you consume it? Is it put into a smoothie? Blended with ice? I don't get it, but would be happy to learn about it :)

  • 8 years ago

    Unflavored sounds interesting, I always buy chocolate EAS Whey protein, just because I love the taste with bananas, I've tired others and just dislike the flavor. My DH adds lots of other fruit to his, but I don't like chocolate mixed with some other fruits. If I had unflavored, I could choose to add chocolate or not, then pick different fruits on some days.

  • 8 years ago
    last modified: 8 years ago

    I've never used protein powder, and have no plans to do so. Soy protein or whey protein isolate isn't something I call food.

    Breakfasts are from the following overall choices: (they're all my favorites). I do need protein at breakfast.

    Egg-based: soft or hard cooked eggs, poached eggs, omelettes with cheese and whatever looks good in the fridge, or fried. Sometimes quiche. Sometimes scrambled. When i can, i'll stir up some leafy greens to accompany. Maybe half an avocado. Very occasionally, bacon.

    Dinner leftovers. Seafood, meat, or tempeh, along with veggies. Basically, dinner for breakfast.

    Winter often means oatmeal, either rolled oats or steel cut, cooked in water, but i add some whole milk or yogurt at the end. And either berries, apple chunks, or banana, or failing fruit, a little brown sugar. I like my grandmother's touch of a pat of butter to melt in to the top of the oatmeal.

    Beverage of choice: coffee. Tea is sometimes good for a change. I only drink juice if I am out. And I dislike continental breakfasts, or high carb breakfasts - too sweet or carb-y for me. I get dizzy on that!!

    When in a hurry, I do hard or soft cooked eggs, or I nuke leftovers.

    I do love making savory Indian uttapam pancakes, but they are Not Spur of the moment. Basically, rice, lentil, fenugreek, tomato, onion, curry leaf - and the first two ingredients need to soak a bit prior to preparation.
