Dinner for Breakfast FAQ
What are the best savory breakfast ideas?
The best savory breakfast ideas combine lunch and dinner favorites like casseroles, skillet potatoes and roasted vegetables with breakfast ingredients like eggs, bacon and sausage. Turn sweet breakfast meals, like French toast or fruit-topped oatmeal, into savory bread puddings or oatmeal bowls topped with fried eggs, for more substantial morning options.
How can I repurpose dinner dishes into breakfast?
It’s easy to repurpose dinner for breakfast and fun to get creative with leftovers by using cooked meats, grains and vegetables in egg casseroles and frittatas or crisped in a skillet into a breakfast hash. Instead of a classic egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel, make it open-faced and add some deli meat and a spoonful of hollandaise. Try heating leftover pasta and topping it with a fried egg for a touch of breakfast and extra protein.
What creative morning meals can be made ahead of time?
Creative make-ahead morning meals include squares of baked oatmeal, savory oatmeal, egg muffins or breakfast casseroles. If you’re short on time, assemble some sandwiches or wraps and store them in the refrigerator in reusable silicone bags or food storage bags. Then, eat them cold or warm as you prefer.
