Upside Down Day! 11 Breakfast Recipes Perfect for Dinner

If you love breakfast food or just need a few good easy dinner ideas, these breakfast recipes are perfect for dinner.

As a kid I loved so-called "upside down day" at school when they’d serve us French toast sticks instead of the typical soggy, savory lunch fare.

While I am not quite the fan of French toast now that I was then, I still love having a good ol’ upside down day for dinner here and there.

Not only does my entire family love breakfast food, but very often it’s also quicker to cook making for a great easy dinner idea any night of the week.

These breakfast recipes are some of my personal favorites if you’re like me and want an esay way to serve up a dinner that’s as delicious as can be.

If you’ve never had migas, this is the perfect time! Migas is basically soft and cheesy scrambled eggs loaded up with peppers, onion, and fried tortillas. Some people will serve this dish with refried beans, top it with salsa or sour cream. It’s basically all the good things involved in Tex Mex food plus scrambled eggs making it as perfect for dinner as it happens to be for breakfast.
