Great thread, Brad. Before I low-carbed, my favorite breakfast was ramen noodles with an egg white swirled in, 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil and a few dashes of hot sauce for flavor. Now I eat 2 eggs/2 whites scrambled in butter with 1 oz. cream cheese dabs mixed in, with 4 strips of bacon on the side. Several grinds of fresh pepper and some sea salt finish it off. There's a mug of spice tea, too.

I'm pretty plain myself. On an occasional weekend I'll make pancakes, waffles or french toast for us (mostly for my 9 yr. old son) If we go out on occasion I like to have an egg dish. During the week it's mostly oatmeal, cream of wheat as that's easiest. I love BLT's and corned beef hash but without a doubt my all time, absolute, can't live without favorites are Bagels with Whitefish and or Lox and Cream Cheese or Matzoh Brei! With the ridiculous cost of matzoh these days I've gotten into the habit of trying to emulate that flavor and texture in a variety of ways. Like mixing an egg with a little too much water and dumping in croutons and or leftover rice, crackers, corn meal, dry oatmeal whatever. The idea is that I get a crispy pancake effect on the outside with lots of texture and a semi soft inside. The taste mostly comes from the sauteeing in butter and seasoning with salt. Help I may be turning into my Father! (This is not as nasty as it may sound!)

bizarre as it seems, i almost never eat a breakfast, even though i have to cook it for others something like 6 out of 7 days a week.

Most of the time, i eat experiments that i make, trying to evolve the trad brekky idea.

so far, ive made and tried;

Chocolate Mocha french toast - both nice and interesting.

Ham and Emmental french toast - tastes very good and works well.

occaisionally, i will eat some yoghurt or toast, maybe a eggs benedict (usually too fatty for me).

I absolutely adore brioche and go crazy for french pastry "snails".

Fresh coffee, soft scrambled eggs, skillet fried potatoes with onion and peppers, my own sausage, fresh made biscuits and brown gravy and don't forget homemade applebutter. Yummy

I exercise alot and enjoy eating alot...I love huevos rancheros and lately I've been making creamy herbed polenta with blue cheese and fried eggs on top. Yum. I also love Vietnamese noodle soups for breakfast. What can I say? I live in Cali!

I'm on a constant quest for new kinds of granola. If I ever had the time at home, I'd make it myself.

I usually mix it in with a tiny bit of bran cereal, to make it lighter, because it's usually a bit too sweet on its own.

I also adore fried eggs with fleur de sel.

Y'all have heard my breakfast opinions before, so I will just tell you my new current favourite. I tend to go for the savory over sweet for breakfast; but I love french toast (but don't want to face maple syrup) -- so Sun-dried tomato french toast with an onion marmalade is my current favourite - but I have to admit, I haven't sprung it on my guests yet...(Kalamata bread is good as french toast too - with just butter and a side of a good, crispy peppered bacon).

I love breakfast for dinner, anyone else?

[shroomgirl]

sure especially on cold rainy/snowy/sleety nights.....

I finish work at 630am so it's breakfast I guess, my favorite thing to eat at that time is cheeseburgers and milkshakes

eggs over easy, warm flour tortillas, good salsa, and a bit of sausage... oh, and coffee first and foremost.

I love oatmeal...with add ins. Also..love poached eggs on kalamata olive toast..or a good sourdough (with lots of garlic tabasco)...yummmm

Also..home fries with green onions, bell, and some shredded cheese and salsa on top.

Shroomgirl, I read your (characteristic) tear listing the breakfast foods you like and well, I'm a strong man, but I can beg: please move to Buffalo and open a restaurant.
