Egg Breakfast Ideas To Start Your Day

Breakfast really is my favorite meal of the day. While I love pancakes as much as the next person, I get through the morning better when my breakfast involves eggs. I usually have a fried egg and toast before I go to work, but lately I’ve been getting bored with that combination. Last week I got creative, and enjoyed three new egg breakfast ideas that I’d like to share with you. 

Egg Breakfast Ideas
My favorite new egg breakfast idea is my scrambled eggs in roasted pepper boats.

Scrambled Eggs In Roasted Pepper Boats

Over the weekend, I quartered and grilled several red, yellow and orange peppers. For breakfast, I heated a few pepper quarters in the microwave while I scrambled my eggs. (I usually use one whole egg and one egg white, and give the other yolk to Tiger Lilly.) I spooned the eggs into the pepper quarters and topped them with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Yes, they tasted as good as they look! 

Breakfast Tacos

After my 6:00 am spin class on Wednesday (have you entered my RevolveDC giveaway yet?) I got my favorite breakfast at Farmers Fishers Bakers.

Egg Breakfast Ideas
Their “Breakfast Taco” is an egg scrambled with peppers and cilantro (I skipped the onion and hot sauce) and tucked into a flour tortilla with diced applewood smoked bacon. The bacon is an optional extra, but it really does make it better! Plus, even with the bacon it’s an unbelievable bargain at $3.50! Mmmmm.

Hard-Cooked Egg with Melted Havarti Toast

On Friday, I was back in my own kitchen, but a bit short on time. I sliced a pre-cooked Eggland’s Best egg, and made cheese toast with Havarti cheese and slices of my Mom’s tomatoes.

Simple, but delicious and satisfying.

Speaking of brilliant egg breakfast ideas, I don’t know why I am so hooked on the pre-cooked Eggland’s Best eggs, but I am. 

Eggland's Best Hardcooked Eggs

Every few weeks I decide not to buy them because it is so easy to make my own  (I could even bake them in the oven!), but then I don’t seem to get around to it. Inevitably, I find myself wishing I had an egg ready to eat for breakfast or ready to pack for a snack at work,  and have to scrounge for something else instead, while vowing to pick up a bag on my next grocery store run. 

Is there a convenience food you are hooked on?

Do you have any new egg breakfast ideas?

    I am ready for my second breakfast now! Great ideas!

  2. Love these ideas! I’ve never bought hard-boiled eggs but I should because like you, I rarely get around to making them!

  3. Egglands best are my fave too. I love adding avocado to my eggs. The peppers look good too. I usually cut them up and add them in but that’s a nice variation.

  4. Love the eggs on peppers idea! You have got me thinking:) My pepper plants in my garden are just about ready to harvest and besides salsa and stuffed peppers, this is a great idea to try! Thanks for the tip!

    I will have to see if we have Eggland here. I have tried the precooked hard-boiled eggs and found them hind of slimy. I love eggs and I need a breakfast that will travel as I’m one of those people that has to be out of bed for a couple hours before I can eat or I feel sick.

    I love hard boiled eggs – I just need to make them on the weekend so I can grab and go!!!

  7. That all sounds delicious. I LOVE breakfast burritos. I may have to take a drive into Georgetown to get one of those! I make a really yummy egg “muffin”…I will be posting the recipe soon!

  8. I am a huge fan of scrambled eggs with a ton of salsa.

    I would love to be rowing one of those Scrambled Egg Roasted Peppers 😉

    I absolutely adore POACHED eggs! Mmmmmmm! With SEARED AHI TUNA!

  10. I make hardboiled eggs all the time, so I don’t think that would be my convenience food of choice. I do buy pre-packaged trail mix as I have big eyes when it comes to serving my own portions.

    Love the breakfast taco! Bacon and eggs – can’t go wrong!
