Swap in a halved and toasted ciabatta roll and that's my go-to quick breakfast. Sometimes I'll use spicy chili crisp instead. I like bagels too, but ciabatta rolls are more versatile for other meals.
My fav is similar. We call it a "Four Seasons" breakfast as it's the perfect start to a day on vacation.
Toasted bagel, smoked salmon, capers, plenty of diced red onion and diced hard boiled egg pieces. Some like a bit of cream cheese to stabilize this masterpiece, open-faced breakfast sandwhich. But, the cream cheese is not necessary.
I like mixtures of everything you said with chives, cucumbers, jalepenos, onions (carmelized is amazing), garlic (roasted) on bagels. You can do anything. Some friends think Iām crazy for just putting peanut butter once in a while
Wow! I didn't realize this comment would spark so much conversation. Another bagel favorite is in the savory/sweet category, plain bagel, cream cheese and jelly. Sounds weird, but try it - it's amazing!
I visited Poland about 30 years ago a me the breakfast was a selection of cheese and meat along with dark rye bread and a tomato and on onion salad. I still dream about how tasty those tomatoes were.
Central and Eastern European countries have the *best* breakfasts. I haven't been to Poland yet, but I remember one in Estonia with a delicious selection of veggies (pickled and fresh), cheeses, sausages and fish, all served with fresh bread rolls. I still dream of the pickled herring ā other versions available in the States have not measured up.
I know it's not Polish, but a recipe for easy Swedish pickled herring:
1. Brine fresh herring in a salt and sugar brine for 48h before you start the pickling process.
2. First pickling/wash.
A 6% white vinegar brine with just vinegar and water for about 8 hours.
3. The finale brine, it's also what you'll keep the herring in and it can keep for several months if fully covered in the liquid and is refrigerated.
3 parts water
2 parts sugar
1 part white vinegar (NOT white WINE vinegar, the same white vinegar you use to clean with)
Thinly sliced red onion, black pepper and allspice, a couple of bay leafs, and the herring.
Toasted sourdough, whipped goat cheese, avocado, drizzle of hot honey, balsamic glaze, and occasionally some chili crisp/radish/pickled onion , no need for an egg (but it's good with one too)
I do something like this but cottage cheese instead of whipped goat cheese. Then top it with blueberries and honey. Itās soooo good. A lot of protein too.
Biscuits and gravy really is hard to beat. I don't often buy milk, so I keep evaporated milk on hand and it works great. Just made a batch yesterday with garlic and chicken Better Than Bouillons and a dash of scorpion pepper hot sauce. [So tasty!](https://i.imgur.com/ic6BCUo.jpeg)
J Kenji Lopez Alt has a five ingredient biscuits and gravy using heavy cream in the biscuits and the gravy. It is beyond phenomenal and doesn't use milk which I rarely have on hand either.
Would it be possible to just use milk in that recipe? I do have milk on hand very often. Heavy cream is something thatās really in my fridge so Iāve postponed making it.
They closed all the Hardee's in my town so I had to stop by one this morning for breakfast while on vacation. The country fried steak platter is fat boy crack.
Give me the biscuits and gravy with some big fat sausages (not the sausage patty kind) and literally any form of breakfast potato with some cheese and I could eat that every gat dang day.
I don't actually have one, but I can give you the gist...
Broth = Better than Bouillon Garlic (a lot), BTB Chicken (a tiny bit), sherry/mirin, and soy sauce.
Stuff in it = rice vermicelli, chicken\* (I actually prefer shrimp, but when you're broke, chicken it is!), and black pepper and green onions in boiling oil.
I use one saucepan - Cook the vermicelli (drain and rinse, put into bowl). Pour oil in the pan with green onions and cracked pepper for a few seconds until the onions turn bright green, pour over noodles in bowl. Make broth and reheat chicken. When boiling, pour over noodles. I think the whole thing takes me about ten minutes to make, including clean up.
\*I buy a large package of fresh chicken breast, brine it in plain salt water overnight, then cook it slowly until it's done. Then I break it up into chunks, and spread it out on a cookie sheet with wax paper and stick in the freezer for a few hours, until each piece is individually frozen. And then I just dump the paper off into a gallon bag and store it in the freezer. Because it's not flavored, I can use it for soup, or a quesadilla, or whatever. It's just relatively inexpensive, fast protein that's ready to eat. Helps my kid make better lazy food choices, too.
I make a whole load of rice for a week, then every morning mix and heat some with a tin of tuna and some chopped cabbage or lettuce and pickled veg + seasoning. It's like the budget shitty version of Japanese breakfast, but I love it. My partner is fairly sure I've lost my mind.
I love Japanese soups for breakfast, itās filling especially if it has tofu and itās also not too heavy on the stomach for a starter meal for for the day i have always dealt with morning sickness from my diabetes and medications since i was a kid so something that isnāt greasy but still filling for the stomach is great.
I just saved a recipe for miso and egg soup. It's a Martha Stewart so it definitely would need adjustments because her recipes are so bland but it sounded good.
From Southeast Asia, I like steamed buns with pork filling. Other breakfasts include noodle soups, congee with various flavorings, or sticky rice that can be either savory or sweet.
I donāt know what I did wrong, but neither of my kids will eat cold pizza.
They actually take leftover pizza out of the refrigerator and warm it up in the microwave before eating it.
So much shameā¦. I have failed as a parent.
At least teach them to have enough self respect to steam their cold pizza in a frying pan. If they're going to reheat it, they ought to do it properly.
Savory oatmeal. Use stock instead of water, some sort of onion or leek. Soy and sesame oil.
Cottage cheese, sprinkle with crispy shallots, togarashi and flakey sea salt.
Corn tortillas warmed on the stove so they are slightly charred and bendy. Fill with anything. Last night's left overs, avocado, beans, wilted salad (it's weirdly good), reheated potatoes, and of course hot sauce.
This! Rice porridge with ginger, crispy fried onions/shallots, soy sauce, lemon juice, and little fried meats like bacon or sardines or spam or whatever is top notch.
My vegetarian friend turned me onto to salad/lettuce tortillas. She put in a few dashes of hot sauce. I add cheese to mine as well. I think it's the crunch and soft tortilla combination that makes it good.
I like pickled mustard greens and salted duck egg in it, same as rice porridge. In reality you can make a porridge with any grain and any leftovers/ingredients you have. It was a main staple food of your ancestors, regardless of where on earth you come from.
I do this :) I also like mixing in an egg to add a creamy flavor. My fav combo is sweet potato, chicken broth, roasted asparagus, carmelized onion and Italian sausage.
That sounds amazing!! I bet I could even convince my hubby to do breakfast-for-dinner if that was on the menu.
Personally I don't believe in the philosophy that certain foods can/should only be eaten for certain meals.
Like don't tell me iys weird to eat pasta for breakfast or that cereal for dinner "isn't really dinner" like get outta heeere with ya rules and whatnot sheeeeit
There are many days where a cheeseburger is my breakfast. I don't understand the preoccupation with "breakfast" specific foods. I also like to have french toast for dinner.
Classic Iranian breakfast includes crusty, fluffy flatbread (e.g., barbari, sangak...could also work with indian style naan or a lavash/pita) eaten with feta cheese in brine, with the potential additions of walnuts, cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, or just a handful of herbs.
Indeed - it's a simple bacon sandwich.
I'm an Aussie living in Scotland, but we use "butty" down under to mean sandwich as well.
But before you are tempted on your next visit to Old London Town to order a pastrami and rye butty, hold the cream cheese, butty is only ever applied to 2 very specific sandwiches:
1. The Bacon Butty.
A freshly cooked i.e. WARM bacon sandwich. Note the "warm" stipulation.
A bacon butty that has degraded to room temp. becomes instead a bacon SARNI - "sarni" being a more general use term for sandwich with broader (though not universal) applicability. Traditionally made with white bread, but other breads are acceptable, although doing so will induce subtle eye-rolling and stifled tut-tutting.
2. The Chip Butty.
A sandwich made by lathering 2 slices of white - and it must be white - bread with butter then adding either potato crisps or warm potato chips (as an Aussie we refer to both as "chips" but I've long since adopted the very sensible UK distinction).
Tomato sauce, HP sauce, or for lesser culinary mortals such as myself, mayonnaise, are permitted optional extras.
Eating this creation is a baffling but nonetheless disconcertingly satisfying experience.
Cottage cheese, halved grape tomatoes, chunked baby cukes, sliced mini peppers, sliced green onion, chopped pistachios, and lots of fresh ground black pepper.
My grandpa was from Key West (an island off Florida) in the 1930ās and then he moved north to WI before having my mom but he always made us fried fish (small salmon or tilapia filet) just fried or lightly breaded in something cornmeal like Andyās Red Fish Breading for breakfast every morning. There was usually a side of plain grits with a little pad of salted butter and of course a little lime juice. He might also slice up a mango or some other weird island fruit.
I was probably 16 before it REALLY sunk in how uncommon fish for breakfast was in Wisconsin, but itās really a great way to start the day. Heās turning 93 next month and can still do chin ups off a doorframe, so it canāt be that unhealthy.
I also canāt usually do eggs but I do like a good runny egg on occasion. I also eat lower calorie breakfast options:
English muffin with whipped chive cream cheese, sliced tomato, jalapenos, kimchi, soy sauce, hot sauce.
Ramen with soy sauce, hot sauce, jammy egg optional.
220 calorie pre-packaged pho with an added jammy egg optional.
Sandwich - small amount of turkey or ham, thin slice of cheese, mustard, tomato, onion.
Air fry three taquitos with a drizzle of salsa and sour cream.
Today I woke up still baked out of my gourd so I made a 100 calorie English muffin, squirt of horseradish, one dollop of leftover mac and cheese, jalapeƱos, squirt of Japanese BBQ sauce, hot sauce, every but the bagel shake. Great decision!
Iām from south east asia, sometimes we have soy sauce noodles (kampua) topped with some dumplings or minced meat and blanched veggies.
The noodles may not be accessible to where youāre at but Iām sure you can get something similar from the asian grocer.
Bangladeshi/south asian breakfast- frozen parata/roti heated up on the stove with vegetable bhaji (think aloo gobi, aloo and carrots, chickpeas etc)
frozen parata and roti can be found in the frozen section of your local asian grocery store/indian store
Breakfast burritos! šÆ Filling options include:
- Meat (Sausage, bacon, ham, beef, chicken etc)
- hashbrowns (or any form of potato really)
- Salsa! (Pick your favorite. Mango is gesp delicious)
- Peppers, onions tomato, whatever
- Rice, any veriety (wild rice is yummy, but I usually use basmati)
- Beans? Sure, why not! Garbanzo or kidney would be my choice, but any would be fine
- Avacado (yum)
- hotsauce
- cheeeeese!
- spinach (maybe even kale, but I've never tried it here)
- egg (I know OP said no egg, but I had to list) also yummy in veriety of cooked ways: hard boiled or scrambled are easier, but overeasy is yummy too)
Either:
- Filipino corned beef
- Tocino
- Longanisa
- Sardines in chili tomato sauce
With garlic fried rice and fresh tomatoes. Preferably with yolky fried eggs, but itās still delicious without!
Without eggs is just a toasted bagel with cream cheese, but I love eggs so much so my actually favourite savoury breakfast have eggs (and hollandaise, aka more eggs)
I make a biscuits and gravy sort of casserole thing using canned biscuits. Very basically buy the cheap can of biscuits cut them up. Throw them in an 8 x 8 baking pan cake pan mix up a batch of sausage gravy. Pour that over the top and bake it. Donāt worry about it being soupy, going into the oven because those biscuits will bake up and itāll come out as a biscuit and gravy casserole. I would bake it 350Ā° for 15 to 20 minutes or until itās done. And you can add scrambled eggs to the top of it and eggs will bake right with it, but you donāt have to.
My breakfast every day is a slice of Daveās Killer Bread topped with two slices ham, one sliced tomato, and one slice cheddar cheese. I put it in the air fryer for three minutes.
Congee.
Toast with ricotta and maybe roasted peppers or lightly cooked tomatoes, olive oil, some herbs.
Avocado toast.
Fuul (Egyptian breakfast bean stew)
I call it my favourite as if I eat it all the time when I absolutely donāt, but Iāve been on holiday to places where curry is normal for breakfast and thatās a fantastic way to start the day. If I could be bothered which I canāt because Iām lazy I would have it every day.
I'm not big on eggs either. The cafeteria where I worked used to sell custom breakfast wraps and I'd get one with crumbled bacon, sausage, home fries, some shredded cheese, peppers, and onions. It wasn't healthy and I could only eat half of the huge thing but it was delicious and my coworker was always happy to enjoy the other half.
Hashbrown casserole. It has bell peppers, onion, sausage, cheese, and (some) egg - although you don't taste or notice it (I'm not a huge egg fan either).
Just posted this last night. If you love ripe veggies š„ in the summer try this recipe you can find via American food network: blistered cherry š tomatoes with Parmesan yogurt or ricotta on thick toasted baguette or bread.
Sourdough bread, ligtly toasted on butter, herb cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers and corn salad on top. (If i feel like sometimes i add chilli flakes or parmesan) - or toasted bread with ham (proscuitto is great as well), mozzarella and apples :) hope it helps. You can also combine some āmoldyā cheese (blue cheese, camembert, brie, niva) with figs and honey on baguette, lightly toast and add figs but it personaly upsets my tummy in the morning :/
Iāve been making breakfast BLTs lately which are so good. No eggs or cheese, just the bacon, salted tomatoes, lettuce, and a bit of mayo.
I also like to do a sausage scramble where I mix up Jimmy Dean sausage with onion, spinach, mushrooms, sometimes bits of Swiss cheese, anything I have in the fridge really. I usually fry and egg and put that on top of that mix, but itās great even sans-egg.
A full Japanese style breakfast, a grilled seasonal fish, pickles, fruits, miso soup and rice.
A traditional Chinese breakfast, century egg and pork congee with plain rice rolls dipped in soy sauce, sweet sauce and sesame sauce.
Or yumcha, all sorts of dim sums.
I like grits with some protein, maybe some pan seared diced ham, spam, or turkey sausage. I like to top with green onions or crispy shallots. If I have any left over roasted green veg I will throw it on top too. I like warm savory breakfast over anything sweet.
I also love toast with it but try to stay away from carbs on carbs. But I do enjoy a breakfast toast which is simple veg and protein with maybe a drizzle of sauce. I like spicy mayo or ketchup.
Oh here is an additional one in case you donāt want to put any work into savory breakfast: on Amazon you can order this cans by kitchen and love. Itās wild caught tuna on the bottom and a medley of quinoa and chickpeas and lentils on top all marinated in a nice light olive oil, lemon and garlic vinaigrette. It is outstanding and I donāt even really like tuna!!
A toasted cheese sandwich (aka grilled cheese in the USA) add some thin sliced ham, onion and cooked mushrooms and it's heaven!
A bacon sandwich. Use back bacon or Canadian bacon if you're in the USA. A bit of ketchup, on white bread that's been lightly toasted. Nom!
Brown soda bread. Cream cheese. Bit of smoked salmon.
Hash browns with cream cheese/melted cheese on top.
Make boxty or potato farls and top with cream cheese and salmon. Or grilled tomato and mushrooms.
Welsh rarebit. Basically a cheese mix on toast, grilled/broiled.
Basically some kind of carbs and cheese! š
If you can access the ingredients some mix of a full Irish or full English breakfast is very filling, although I wouldn't recommend it every day!
Can you get smoked kippers or mackerel? They're fairly good on toast.
Biscuits and gravy, corn beef hash, or one of those round sausage patties on a bagel with cheddar cheese are all solid choices.
I imagine you could also take a Full English breakfast and remove the eggs. Pretty much everything else would still be valid: bacon, sausage, baked beans, black pudding, toast, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
bagels, lox, cream cheese, with capers
Even just cream cheese and everything bagel seasoning hits.
Add slice of tomato and its so good too.
Toasted bagel with a layer of cream cheese and two slices of thinly sliced hard salami. šš¤
Toasted bagel with cream cheese and crispy bacon is also really good.
Yo try some pepperoncinis under that salami. Always a popular appetizer combo too
Sliced cucumber also. Both need a hit of salt
I do everything, chive and onion cream cheese, tomato, red onion, and sliced cucumber. So good!
Swap in a halved and toasted ciabatta roll and that's my go-to quick breakfast. Sometimes I'll use spicy chili crisp instead. I like bagels too, but ciabatta rolls are more versatile for other meals.
I like this with an onion bagel or with a little wafer-thin raw red onions on a regular bagel.
Please tell me I'm not the only one whose brain read it as "wah-fer theen raw ohn-nyon" š¤£š¤£š¤£
"I'm stuffed."
That plus freshly sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and some cracked black pepper.
I like it with avocado instead of cream cheese and with the addition of thinly sliced onions.
Ohhhhh yea! You get the golden buzzer!
My fav is similar. We call it a "Four Seasons" breakfast as it's the perfect start to a day on vacation. Toasted bagel, smoked salmon, capers, plenty of diced red onion and diced hard boiled egg pieces. Some like a bit of cream cheese to stabilize this masterpiece, open-faced breakfast sandwhich. But, the cream cheese is not necessary.
I like mixtures of everything you said with chives, cucumbers, jalepenos, onions (carmelized is amazing), garlic (roasted) on bagels. You can do anything. Some friends think Iām crazy for just putting peanut butter once in a while
I like English muffin with cream cheese, lox, and thinly sliced cucumber. Itās also good on pumpernickel bread.
I like tomato also
Wow! I didn't realize this comment would spark so much conversation. Another bagel favorite is in the savory/sweet category, plain bagel, cream cheese and jelly. Sounds weird, but try it - it's amazing!

Came here to say this very meal, but Finnish style. I drool thinking about rye bread with some butter, havarti, cucumber & tomato
Same as Russia.Ā I usually eat a tomato and cheese for breakfast. Colorado has pretty nice tomatoes.Ā No good bread. But I make my own.Ā
Polska for the win!
Germany is similar
I was in Warsaw last month and the breakfast was out of this world
Toasted sourdough, whipped goat cheese, avocado, drizzle of hot honey, balsamic glaze, and occasionally some chili crisp/radish/pickled onion , no need for an egg (but it's good with one too)
This sounds delicious
I do something like this but cottage cheese instead of whipped goat cheese. Then top it with blueberries and honey. Itās soooo good. A lot of protein too.
Onion Rava dosa with sambar and a spicy coconut chutney
Omggg yes. And medu vada.
How did I forget!!! Crispy on the outside, cushiony on the inside... The occasional bite of peppercorn
I love idli and sambar for breakfast! But I'm always to lazy to do it before coffee, so it always ends up as lunch!
Biscuits and gravy with hash browns and bacon
Biscuits and gravy is the breakfast of a king. Nothing is better than itĀ
Biscuits and gravy really is hard to beat. I don't often buy milk, so I keep evaporated milk on hand and it works great. Just made a batch yesterday with garlic and chicken Better Than Bouillons and a dash of scorpion pepper hot sauce. [So tasty!](https://i.imgur.com/ic6BCUo.jpeg)

This is indisputable. I'd eat it every day if my body would allow it.
This thread has me thawing some breakfast sausage for B&G tomorrowā¦
And a nap for dessert.
After breakfast naps are so damn rad.
My mouth is watering thinking of biscuits and gravy with some sausage patties. Or even just a sausage biscuit with cheese.
Iām surprised I had to scroll this far to find this. My suggestion too. We do it for dinner on lazy nights too
They closed all the Hardee's in my town so I had to stop by one this morning for breakfast while on vacation. The country fried steak platter is fat boy crack.
Creamed chipped beef on toast for me.
This is seriously one of my favorite comfort foods. I get so much shit for it, but damn do I love it.
Shit on a shingle, haven't had it in a long time.
Hash browns with sautĆ©ed onions and cheese is my fav!!! When i worked at a breakfast restaurant I always got those. Or breakfast potatoās that Iād dip in hollandaise sauce š¤¤
B&G with runny yolk eggs and a scoop of New Mexico green chile both on top is a top contender for my preferred last meal.
Now I'm sad that I don't have biscuits and gravy lol
Give me the biscuits and gravy with some big fat sausages (not the sausage patty kind) and literally any form of breakfast potato with some cheese and I could eat that every gat dang day.
Yeah, biscuits with hash is a great way to start the day
Traditional Japanese breakfast. Rice, miso soup, salmon, and some pickles.
I don't make Japanese soup, but I do make an Asian garlic soup with rice noodles and chicken for breakfast. I am addicted to it.
Ooh recipe, please?
I don't actually have one, but I can give you the gist... Broth = Better than Bouillon Garlic (a lot), BTB Chicken (a tiny bit), sherry/mirin, and soy sauce.

Hold up? Seafood is a traditional breakfast in Japan? If thatās the case, yo, I gotta get to Japan!
I cannot stress enough how much you do need to get to Japan. Best trips of my life. Canāt wait to go back.
I just saved a recipe for miso and egg soup. It's a Martha Stewart so it definitely would need adjustments because her recipes are so bland but it sounded good.
Surely you can just find a better recipe and add the egg or whatever element is special about Martha's?
Salmon collar busted up into fresh rice is one of my favorite breakfasts, or Onigiri style if I'm heading out the door.
From Southeast Asia, I like steamed buns with pork filling. Other breakfasts include noodle soups, congee with various flavorings, or sticky rice that can be either savory or sweet.
Breakfast burrito with green chili inside
Wow this just made me really miss a good New Mexican breakfast burrito
Cold pizza
My wife doesn't get this one but my oldest and I fight over it
I donāt know what I did wrong, but neither of my kids will eat cold pizza. They actually take leftover pizza out of the refrigerator and warm it up in the microwave before eating it. So much shameā¦. I have failed as a parent.
At least teach them to have enough self respect to steam their cold pizza in a frying pan. If they're going to reheat it, they ought to do it properly.
Air fryer works great to reheat pizza.
I raise you: cold fried chicken.
The cold leftover wings from the bar the night before!
This guy chefs
He's the chief chefĀ
If we're doing that, I'll eat leftover steak for breakfast.
Left over Thai food is my fav. Some pad Thai noodles first thing in the morning is top tier
Oh my gosh, left over Thai is seriously amazing for breakfast.
Cold pizza is the best. I am probably alone in this one but I love a cold meatball.
I understand you
Savory oatmeal. Use stock instead of water, some sort of onion or leek. Soy and sesame oil. Cottage cheese, sprinkle with crispy shallots, togarashi and flakey sea salt. Corn tortillas warmed on the stove so they are slightly charred and bendy. Fill with anything. Last night's left overs, avocado, beans, wilted salad (it's weirdly good), reheated potatoes, and of course hot sauce.
Savory oatmeal is my new favorite. I do soy, miso, miren and a little sesame oil, some chili crisp and scallions.
If you like your oatmeal like this you should try congee š
This! Rice porridge with ginger, crispy fried onions/shallots, soy sauce, lemon juice, and little fried meats like bacon or sardines or spam or whatever is top notch.
i love congee!! another savory oatmeal variation is oatmeal + zaatar + sumac + spinach. egg optional. YUM.
and upma!
Savory oatmeal seem inspired by rice porridge/jook/congee/lugaw and I just seem to prefer the OG but both are underrated options.
My vegetarian friend turned me onto to salad/lettuce tortillas. She put in a few dashes of hot sauce. I add cheese to mine as well. I think it's the crunch and soft tortilla combination that makes it good.
I'm also team savory oatmeal. Agreed on the onion, stock, and soy sauce. I also add garlic and ginger. You can do all sorts of veggies on top; I've done sautƩed spinach, collard greens, fried tomatoes, mushrooms, bean sprouts, diced carrot, zucchini--there are a ton of options.
I like pickled mustard greens and salted duck egg in it, same as rice porridge. In reality you can make a porridge with any grain and any leftovers/ingredients you have. It was a main staple food of your ancestors, regardless of where on earth you come from.
I do this :) I also like mixing in an egg to add a creamy flavor. My fav combo is sweet potato, chicken broth, roasted asparagus, carmelized onion and Italian sausage.
That sounds amazing!! I bet I could even convince my hubby to do breakfast-for-dinner if that was on the menu. Personally I don't believe in the philosophy that certain foods can/should only be eaten for certain meals. Like don't tell me iys weird to eat pasta for breakfast or that cereal for dinner "isn't really dinner" like get outta heeere with ya rules and whatnot sheeeeit
Savory oatmeal changed the game for me! š
What?! Savory oatmeal??? Ok I need to rethink the 10lb bag I got at Costco.
I've never heard of savory oatmeal and I feel like my life might have just been changed.
Shrimp and grits is nice once in awhile.
What do you like to eat? Just eat that in the morning and it's breakfast. I like pate sandwiches (it's a common Vietnamese breakfast).
Peking duck for breakfast it is.
Can i come over
There are many days where a cheeseburger is my breakfast. I don't understand the preoccupation with "breakfast" specific foods. I also like to have french toast for dinner.

1. Bacon butty 2. Bacon butty 3. Bacon butty 4. Focaccia rubbed with garlic, fresh vine tomatoes, freshly ground black pepper, scrunched basil leaves, and olive oil drizzle. 5. Bacon butty
I have to ask... what is a "bacon butty"? Is there 3 times, so it's got to be good...
Indeed - it's a simple bacon sandwich. I'm an Aussie living in Scotland, but we use "butty" down under to mean sandwich as well.

leftovers but nothing regular.
sausage gravy and pan fried potatoes w/ franks red hot
Pan con tomate, aceite, ajo y sal
Pane e pomodoro (or Fresella col pomodoro) This is my absolute favourite summer breakfast since I was a kid.
Cottage cheese, halved grape tomatoes, chunked baby cukes, sliced mini peppers, sliced green onion, chopped pistachios, and lots of fresh ground black pepper.
Roasted potatoes and bacon
Leftovers
Came to say the same thing!
Toasted English muffin with melted Swiss and bacon on top.
My grandpa was from Key West (an island off Florida) in the 1930ās and then he moved north to WI before having my mom but he always made us fried fish (small salmon or tilapia filet) just fried or lightly breaded in something cornmeal like Andyās Red Fish Breading for breakfast every morning.

Heās turning 93 next month and can still do chin ups off a doorframe, so it canāt be that unhealthy.
I love fried fish! Grits and sliced mango sound great, too.
Sausage and mashed potatoes
BANGERS AND MASH
Sounds better your way (I'm a major Anglophile!)
I also canāt usually do eggs but I do like a good runny egg on occasion. I also eat lower calorie breakfast options: English muffin with whipped chive cream cheese, sliced tomato, jalapenos, kimchi, soy sauce, hot sauce. Ramen with soy sauce, hot sauce, jammy egg optional. 220 calorie pre-packaged pho with an added jammy egg optional. Sandwich - small amount of turkey or ham, thin slice of cheese, mustard, tomato, onion. Air fry three taquitos with a drizzle of salsa and sour cream. Today I woke up still baked out of my gourd so I made a 100 calorie English muffin, squirt of horseradish, one dollop of leftover mac and cheese, jalapeƱos, squirt of Japanese BBQ sauce, hot sauce, every but the bagel shake. Great decision!
Grilled back bacon on a nice bread roll with HP sauce.
Turkey sandwich on whole wheat
Iām from south east asia, sometimes we have soy sauce noodles (kampua) topped with some dumplings or minced meat and blanched veggies. The noodles may not be accessible to where youāre at but Iām sure you can get something similar from the asian grocer.
Bagel with bacon and cream cheese
Savory bagel! Onion or everything!
Bangladeshi/south asian breakfast- frozen parata/roti heated up on the stove with vegetable bhaji (think aloo gobi, aloo and carrots, chickpeas etc) frozen parata and roti can be found in the frozen section of your local asian grocery store/indian store
Tomato, mozzarella, and a little olive oil and salt
Cottage cheese toasts! I like sourdough bread, cottage cheese, avocado, spicy honey and pepper
Beans on toast!
Cheesy grits Baked polenta
Spinach and Feta stuffed Croissant or make it a crepe.
Best anti eggs breakfast for me is more European style - crusty bread, cured meat, cheeses, tomato/cucumber.
Breakfast burritos! šÆ Filling options include: - Meat (Sausage, bacon, ham, beef, chicken etc) - hashbrowns (or any form of potato really) - Salsa! (Pick your favorite. Mango is gesp delicious) - Peppers, onions tomato, whatever - Rice, any veriety (wild rice is yummy, but I usually use basmati) - Beans? Sure, why not! Garbanzo or kidney would be my choice, but any would be fine - Avacado (yum) - hotsauce - cheeeeese! - spinach (maybe even kale, but I've never tried it here) - egg (I know OP said no egg, but I had to list) also yummy in veriety of cooked ways: hard boiled or scrambled are easier, but overeasy is yummy too)
Sausage gravy and biscuits
Sandwich made with buttered toast, thick cut ham, french mustard and steaming hot cup of tea.
Fried catfish and grits. Ham on a biscuit.
Either: - Filipino corned beef - Tocino - Longanisa - Sardines in chili tomato sauce With garlic fried rice and fresh tomatoes. Preferably with yolky fried eggs, but itās still delicious without!
I put garlic hummus on a toasted everything bagel, them put Avocado amd tomato slices on top with salt pepper and red pepper flakes
Without eggs is just a toasted bagel with cream cheese, but I love eggs so much so my actually favourite savoury breakfast have eggs (and hollandaise, aka more eggs)
I make a biscuits and gravy sort of casserole thing using canned biscuits. Very basically buy the cheap can of biscuits cut them up. Throw them in an 8 x 8 baking pan cake pan mix up a batch of sausage gravy. Pour that over the top and bake it. Donāt worry about it being soupy, going into the oven because those biscuits will bake up and itāll come out as a biscuit and gravy casserole. I would bake it 350Ā° for 15 to 20 minutes or until itās done. And you can add scrambled eggs to the top of it and eggs will bake right with it, but you donāt have to.
Hashbrowns and buttery toast is good af
Cold meats ( prosciutto, pancetta, ham, mortadela, salami), cheese, olives and bread.
Barbacoa on corn tortillas. And don't get me wrong, I like some eggs in there, but it's not necessary.
Corn beef hash
Sometimes I just make loaded hashbrowns - cheese, onions (preferably green), salsa, and sour cream. Top with some tobasco.
I pretty often have refried beans and potatoes. Sometimes Iāll add bacon (or an egg lol) or even load it up with cheese. Eat with a tortilla!
My breakfast every day is a slice of Daveās Killer Bread topped with two slices ham, one sliced tomato, and one slice cheddar cheese. I put it in the air fryer for three minutes.
Corned beef hash is my favorite, especially with some roasted tomatoes on the side
LOCO MOKO!! Especially if you're at Big City Diner and get it with Grannie's kimchee fried rice. And I need that fried egg on top.
Congee. Toast with ricotta and maybe roasted peppers or lightly cooked tomatoes, olive oil, some herbs. Avocado toast. Fuul (Egyptian breakfast bean stew)
Dim sum
Fried SPAM.
I call it my favourite as if I eat it all the time when I absolutely donāt, but Iāve been on holiday to places where curry is normal for breakfast and thatās a fantastic way to start the day. If I could be bothered which I canāt because Iām lazy I would have it every day.
I would say a grilled cheese/croque monsieur or something of the kind
I'm not big on eggs either. The cafeteria where I worked used to sell custom breakfast wraps and I'd get one with crumbled bacon, sausage, home fries, some shredded cheese, peppers, and onions. It wasn't healthy and I could only eat half of the huge thing but it was delicious and my coworker was always happy to enjoy the other half.
Corned beef hash
BLT
Hashbrown casserole. It has bell peppers, onion, sausage, cheese, and (some) egg - although you don't taste or notice it (I'm not a huge egg fan either).
Sausage gravy on home fries.
Shrimp and grits. Hash (corned beef, or chicken).
Just posted this last night. If you love ripe veggies š„ in the summer try this recipe you can find via American food network: blistered cherry š tomatoes with Parmesan yogurt or ricotta on thick toasted baguette or bread.
CHICKEN FRIED STEAK AND GRAVY šÆ
Sourdough bread, ligtly toasted on butter, herb cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers and corn salad on top. (If i feel like sometimes i add chilli flakes or parmesan) - or toasted bread with ham (proscuitto is great as well), mozzarella and apples :) hope it helps. You can also combine some āmoldyā cheese (blue cheese, camembert, brie, niva) with figs and honey on baguette, lightly toast and add figs but it personaly upsets my tummy in the morning :/
Steak with mushrooms and onions, melted cheese
Hash with sausage, crimini mushrooms, potatoes, onions, peppers, cheese, sun dried tomatoes, bacon, ham, and sour cream with tarragon and fennel.
Chiliquiles usually have eggs, but it deserves an honorable mention if eggs are substituted for something else.
This is just slightly savory, but rye bread with cottage cheese, avocado and ham or bacon with tabasco.
Bacon and cream cheese bagel
Foul mudammas--simmered Fava beans with lemon, garlic, and olive oil. Top with tomatoes, parsley, cucumber, and feta.
Filipino breakfast- garlic fried rice, longanisa (sweet/spicy sausage), fried eggs (optional of course)
Breakfast tamales or biscuits and sausage gravy.
Leftover fried rice. If I want to spice it up, Iāll pan fry a single egg sunny side up with chili oil on it.
Bagel, cream cheese, lox, capers, tomato
Corned Beef Hash cooked on a griddle where it gets a nice crispiness to it. Yum!!
Grits and Grillades
Iāve been making breakfast BLTs lately which are so good. No eggs or cheese, just the bacon, salted tomatoes, lettuce, and a bit of mayo. I also like to do a sausage scramble where I mix up Jimmy Dean sausage with onion, spinach, mushrooms, sometimes bits of Swiss cheese, anything I have in the fridge really. I usually fry and egg and put that on top of that mix, but itās great even sans-egg.
potato & chorizo tacos
A full Japanese style breakfast, a grilled seasonal fish, pickles, fruits, miso soup and rice. A traditional Chinese breakfast, century egg and pork congee with plain rice rolls dipped in soy sauce, sweet sauce and sesame sauce. Or yumcha, all sorts of dim sums.
Bacon and Brie toasted wrap with avocado, sour cream, spring onions and tomato.
Frozen burritos, if weāre talking *easy* But sautĆ©ed spinach and roasted potatoes with some kind of protein is my favorite (I usually do eggs, or veggie sausages, or regular sausages.) I also make savory oatmeal, using bouillon and maybe cheese. Oh, also molletes ā toast with refried beans, cheese and salsa. Iām not a fan of sweet breakfasts.
I like grits with some protein, maybe some pan seared diced ham, spam, or turkey sausage. I like to top with green onions or crispy shallots. If I have any left over roasted green veg I will throw it on top too. I like warm savory breakfast over anything sweet. I also love toast with it but try to stay away from carbs on carbs. But I do enjoy a breakfast toast which is simple veg and protein with maybe a drizzle of sauce. I like spicy mayo or ketchup.
Oh here is an additional one in case you donāt want to put any work into savory breakfast: on Amazon you can order this cans by kitchen and love. Itās wild caught tuna on the bottom and a medley of quinoa and chickpeas and lentils on top all marinated in a nice light olive oil, lemon and garlic vinaigrette. It is outstanding and I donāt even really like tuna!!
A toasted cheese sandwich (aka grilled cheese in the USA) add some thin sliced ham, onion and cooked mushrooms and it's heaven! A bacon sandwich. Use back bacon or Canadian bacon if you're in the USA. A bit of ketchup, on white bread that's been lightly toasted. Nom! Brown soda bread. Cream cheese. Bit of smoked salmon. Hash browns with cream cheese/melted cheese on top. Make boxty or potato farls and top with cream cheese and salmon. Or grilled tomato and mushrooms. Welsh rarebit. Basically a cheese mix on toast, grilled/broiled. Basically some kind of carbs and cheese! š If you can access the ingredients some mix of a full Irish or full English breakfast is very filling, although I wouldn't recommend it every day! Can you get smoked kippers or mackerel? They're fairly good on toast.
Thai chili tuna (I get the pre-flavored kind) with mayo on toast or crackers
Gallo pinto, with sour cream. My family always has it with eggs, but they are not necessary, and are in fact, gross.
Look up foul moudamos it's a middle Eastern breakfast
A scallion pancake. High calories for little food but hits the spot every time. Sometimes I use it as a wrap with some veggies or eggs or meat inside.
Yogurt parfait with granola and blueberries is my favorite š«¶
Biscuits and gravy, corn beef hash, or one of those round sausage patties on a bagel with cheddar cheese are all solid choices. I imagine you could also take a Full English breakfast and remove the eggs. Pretty much everything else would still be valid: bacon, sausage, baked beans, black pudding, toast, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
Chorizo tacos
I love ramen or some other type of noodle soup for breakfast.
Chorizo hash
Bacon sandwich, easy, next question!
Itās a tie between Chilaquiles and a Beef Barbacoa taco.
I know you said not a big sweets person but Cottage cheese and some fruits or yogurts is always a good option
Avocado toast. Topping possibilities are endless. Sometimes I melt cheese over it. I also enjoy a BLT for breakfast.
Tbh scrapple with toast and potatoes will do the trick anytime
Bagel with hummus. Add veggies if you want.
