Hot Breakfast Recipes
Crab and Jarlsberg Quiche
A quiche is already luxurious but it only gets better whenever you add in crab and jarlsberg cheese. It makes this quiche a little nutty while carrying the subtle sweetness of crab meat. Try it alongside cooling fresh fruits for a lovely contrast.
Martha Stewart-Inspired Asparagus, Leek, and Jarlsberg Quiche
Another quiche option that uses the same unique jarlsberg cheese gets its inspiration from Martha Stewart. This recipe from the queen herself uses asparagus and leeks to ensure you get the nutrients you need for the day. Plus the homemade crust ends up perfectly flaky.
Breakfast Casserole with Caramelized Onions, Dates and Gruyere
What’s better than an omelette? Our Breakfast Casserole with Caramelized Onions, Dates, and Gruyere. We’re packing in a combination of savory ingredients that leave you feeling full all the way till lunch time. Your traditional casserole just got a real upgrade.
Crème Brûlée French Toast Bake with Panettone
For those who love a sweeter breakfast, this Crème Brûlée French Toast Bake uses candied fruit and raisin filled panettone. Simply slice up a loaf and add it to a pan along with eggs, brown sugar, butter, half and half, and vanilla extract. We even include a bit of Grand Marnier for a deeper flavor.
Buckwheat Griddle Pancakes With Blackberry Sauce
This isn’t your basic boxed pancake mix. These Buckwheat Griddle Pancakes have a buckwheat flour base that can help lower cholesterol levels and keep blood sugar levels in check. Plus, to top these cakes you’ll make a blackberry sauce that’s tangy and carries a bit of heat from the black peppercorn. When beside the vanilla cream in this recipe, it’s a dream come true.
Ham, Bacon, and Cheddar Breakfast Pastry Puffs
Rather than a breakfast sandwich, try your morning meal in pastry puff form. These puffs pack full ham, bacon and cheddar cheese that’s similar to a hot pocket but so much better for you. If you’re feeling creative, you can even back the blackberry sauce from the pancake recipe above and add it to these breakfast treats instead.
Morning Migas
Spice up your breakfast with Cheryl Alters Jamison’s Morning Migas. This skillet sautés tomatoes, green chile, jalapeño chile, onion, eggs, and cheese along with broken tortilla chips that add a delightful crunch. It’s a mix of a breakfast burrito, omelette, and fajita dish all in one.
Easy Breakfast Bake
Sometimes making a hot breakfast recipe can feel like a lot but we’re simplifying the process as much as possible. This Easy Breakfast Bake means you can crack eggs into a pan with a pesto mixture then top with sun-dried tomatoes and prosciutto and bake. Talk about all deliciousness and no work!
Creamed Spinach with Dippy Eggs
We’re sure Popeye would approve of this Creamed Spinach recipe. To match the flavor and texture of this dish, we’re adding a dippy egg on top that lets the warm yolk break over the bed of spinach. Just make sure you have toast or a baguette nearby to sop all the goodness up.
Pumpkin Pancakes
For those who just can’t live without their Pumpkin Spice Latte. These Pumpkin Pancakes use pumpkin puree in the mix for a delightfully fluffy pancake and unmistakable taste. We also make an apple compote with Granny Smith apples, cider, and cinnamon to bring this breakfast home.
Blueberry Pancakes
Fresh fruit and pancakes go together like bacon and eggs. Learn to make a pancake batter from scratch and then sprinkle in handpicked blueberries for a vibrant recipe. The brightness of the fruit lifts the heaviness that can often weigh down pancakes.
