Don’t go to the other one across the street in the strip center.   They stole the name.

Breakfast pizza:  Biscuity type tasting crust, egg and cheese mixture over the entire pie, then sprinkle in onions, sausage, green peppers, etc.  Fuck it's great.  A little salsa spread, and it goes nooc-u-lar.

[conVINCEd 21468]

Get yourself a brownie pan, line the bottom with frozen tater tots, cover with egg/cheese mixture, add your choice of breakfast meat, top with more grated cheese.  Stick it in the oven for 45 minutes at 350.  You can feed a pretty big crew.

We need to get you a care package of tortillas and you can send us some of that fancy farm meat.

That sounds like a good trade.

There's a Mexican grocery about an hour from me that I could probably get better tortillas.  I skimp on them and buy the low-carb ones to save the calories for something I like better.

I've had legit tortillas and they're undoubtedly superior to what I can get in the grocery store, but it's rare for me to really invest in the "bread" component of any dish.

Made a weekend breakfast - kept it simple, but good. Cooked up some venison sausage, fried a hash brown, scrambled eggs with ample jalapeño sauce.

Dare I ask if that’s a homemade hash brown?

Hell no - it was one of those frozen Ore-ida ones, for perfect crispy fried goodness.

I was recently introduced to Trader Joe’s hash browns.  You should try those.

I do a very similar "breakfast casserole" on vacations or for family get-togethers when need to have breakfast for 6+ people.

Grease a glass baking dish and line it with crescent roll dough. Pour in 1b of cooked, crumbled breakfast sausage and 8 raw eggs scrambled with a little milk. Spread around until you have  a nice even layer of meat and eggs on top of the dough. Bake for 30 minutes at 350, remove, add shitloads of shredded cheese and cook another 15 minutes. Serve with good salsa, avocado slices, sour cream...etc.

Might add in some shredded hash browns next time.

Substitute some cream of onion soup for the milk and you have our version. Spicy breakfast sausage as well.

30 minutes covered at 350 then 12 minutes uncovered and then hit it with broiler for 2-3 minutes.

My Dan’s favorite:

3 eggs over easy, bacon, hash browns, toast, blackberry jam, glass of milk,

 

[WhatTheBuck 28700]

Hey to Dan.

[billfromlaketravis 11352]

 Some breakfast additions I enjoy: 

- Sunny side up egg on a McDonalds sausage biscuit with Louisiana hot sauce. 

- Take a Pappa's BBQ chorizo, egg and cheese taco. Empty the contents, toss the greasy tortilla. Scramble a couple eggs and combine contents. 

 

I think where Whataburger goes wrong on the "taquito" is the tortilla and the weird, rubbery baco. Sure they're great when you're drunk or hungover, but it shouldn't be taken seriously as a breakfast taco. 

 

[SurlyORama 164]

I started this thread with the "English Muffin with Peanut Butter" entry. If that was my #1, then my #1a is the simple "Sunny Side Eggs with Sourdough Toast and Butter".

Guess I'm just a simple breakfast guy. 

But, I would crush almost all of the things I've seen discussed so far. I love breakfast!

I’m not a fan of the usual eggs Benedict, as I don’t care for the usual soggy English muffin, and the Canadian bacon usually sucks. I also prefer eggs over easy to poached.

I do like variations. Replace the muffin with a Dungeness crab cake, fried eggs, jalapeño hollandaise, crumbled bacon. Or grilled venison or beef tenderloin, on a hash brown cake, with bearnaise. Or a biscuit half, a slice of thick fried ham, and sriracha hollandaise.

There was a breakfast joint in Portland (great breakfast town!) that did great French toast with a lemon cream, berries and bananas. I also like a stack of thin blueberry pancakes, butter, real maple syrup, and heavy smoked crispy bacon.

I also like Shrimp n grits for breakfast. Migas are great, plus l like huevos rancheros with refried pintos, sausage, and fried taters. CFS is always good, and biscuits, cream gravy, sausage crumbled with onions and jalapeños.

Worst breakfast: full English breakfast. Jellied eels, blood sausage, barely cooked limp bacon, rubbery fried eggs, cold canned beans.

If you got Mexicans near you there is a tortilladeria nearby. Might be tiny but they ain’t eating mission tortillas.

Toasted bagels with cream cheese have been in regular rotation since I heard during the pandemic that there was a cream cheese shortage and then I found cream cheese so I bought some. Before that I never had them at home, just when dining out or at a friend’s place. I started out with the usual toppings. Mainly strawberry or red raspberry preserves. Then I went with an old favorite from my youth. Apple butter. This is a perfect marriage.

Do you do apple butter down south? I was curious so I googled it. Looks like it’s mainly a thing in Appalachia. Elsewhere it seems to be more the exception than the rule. Anyway, this goes great with coffee or milk but I think it pairs especially well with a cup of Earl Grey tea. That’s become a very frequent start to my day, followed by a banana or an orange. It takes some will power to limit myself to just half a bagel per day. I could easily eat two.

Of course I’ll occasionally go with lox and capers with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh ground black pepper if I’m in the mood for something savory. That’s good too.

Not in Texas. But my mom’s from Minnesota and she grew up on homemade apple butter. I ate it a lot as a kid and loved it. I haven’t had it as much in my adult life as a Texan, but you can find it at HEB (when open, which is, like, never).

[Underdog 28437]

Same here, had it often as a youngin but pretty much never now.  The wife doesn’t care for it.

Pretty much.  My dad called it "egg pie."

Had a 16 oz package of Jimmy Dean sausage with eggs and pancakes this morning. None of that pussy 12 oz shit. I needed to eat, goddamnit.

[Texzilla58 4715]

I always enjoy the breakfast buffet found in top drawer western hotels in Japan. Incredible fruit like Japanese muskmelon. Your usual America/English stuff like limp bacon, great ham, non industrial eggs, pancakes. And great Japanese stuff like congee, grilled salmon, dumplings, and ramen. And at the end of the line a bottle of scotch and vodka.

How can the answer be anything other than the most perfect food ever invented? The breakfast taco.

[Texzilla58 4715]

I like mine with no eggs, just beans, bacon, taters, cheese, salsa. If I’m having a MexTex egg dish I prefer migas, huevos ranchero, michaca con huevos.

New Mexico also has kickass breakfasts. Those burritos and omelets with green chile are awesomeness.

[South Austin 52037]

The Otto from Taco Deli is the perfect breakfast before an 11:00 a.m. Texas football kickoff. Disagree with me and I will stab you in the armpit.

[Wally Pryor 5240]

Migas with extra grilled onions and fresh japs (not pickled japs) along with dona from Los Jaliscienses. The latter is the best in Austin, including Taco Deli.

Chilaquiles can cure a lot that is wrong with the world.

Had never had Chilaquiles until Chicago of all places a few years back, believe I ordered about 3 or 4 mornings in a row.

Rick Bayless is based in Chicago. I’ve seen him make them on his show. I bookmarked his recipe but I haven’t gotten around to making them yet. He did the dinner version because he said everybody knows the egg version.

El Milagro Mexican Kitchen chips are thick cut and sturdy enough to make killer chiliquiles.

Sams sells a 2lb ginormous chub of Jimmy Dean. For when you’re really needing to eat.

Years ago we were at Epcot. Here comes Jimmy Dean with his wife. My wife said “hey!” He introduced himself. Wife said “I like your sausage!”

[WhatTheBuck 28700]

Ever eat Graham crackers in a bowl with milk?

Loved that when I was a kid. Still do. It’s not just for breakfast. It’s a great after school snack, a great late night snack. I don’t eat cereal much anymore but I still have this from time to time. It never gets old. 

[billfromlaketravis 11352]

For the record, Juan's huevos rancheros with steak is the best. 

I like leftovers for breakfast. My humble submission: 

El Tiempo tortilla 

El Tiempo charro beans 

2 slices of bacon 

1 fried egg 

Taco Bell Fire Sauce 

 

I'll leave the prep up to the imagination. 

[pearlandhorn 3277]

3 scrambled eggs with valentina's.

Cup of oatmeal with splenda, cinnamon, and a serving of peanut butter mixed up.

I think I’m going to smoke a ham for next Sunday’s Easter lunch. Any suggestions on sides? Looking for something that really encapsulates this holiday that is so very important to my family and myself.
