35 Brilliant Breakfast Recipes

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Why? Because it’s the most delicious meal! Our roundup has a ton of brilliant breakfast recipes you’re sure to love.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I’m thinking that’s only because it’s the most delicious meal of the day! Breakfast food is a force to be reckoned with – it’s the only meal of its kind where it’s acceptable to eat something super sugary-sweet and something savory in the same meal or even the same bite. It has all you need on one plate: a protein (bacon, eggs, sausage), a fruit (fruit cups, fruit toppings), and a carb (waffles, pancakes, French toast). It’s basically the perfect plate of food!

At Food Fanatic, we love us some breakfast. We have a ton of amazing breakfast recipes that can be made in minutes, and some breakfast recipes that take longer but are real crowd-pleasers. Whether you’re on the go and need something portable and quick, or if you’re looking for something that can serve company on a leisurely brunch morning, we’ve got you covered. From Skillet Cinnamon Rolls to breakfast casseroles, instant oatmeal to breakfast pudding, donuts to breakfast burgers, we’ve got it all and then some.

Your search for the perfect breakfast is over. We have it all here and served up before lunchtime!
