These American breakfast recipes will give you some ideas for how to start your morning that is so much better than just coffee and toast!

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day but how often do we skip it or get tired of having cereal every single day?

Here is a fun list of ideas when you have a little more time to make something hearty and satisfying for your first meal of the day.

I made up this recipe myself after years of tweaking the egg slurry and the kind of bread to use. 

Yes, it is simple and easy, but when you have something as delicious as this, there isn’t much that needs to be done to make it taste great.

As a fan of real butter, I use more butter than syrup on my stacked plate. 

Optionally, you could always top it off with fruit or add your favorite side, but by itself, this french toast will be amazing.

Honey Butter Biscuits

When these honey butter biscuits hit the heat, the dough rises in flaky layers as the buttermilk lifts and the cream cheese melts into tight pockets of tenderness. I love how the crumb stays soft enough to pull apart, yet sturdy enough to sop up pan juices or jam.

Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Danishes

This recipe makes a dozen chocolate chip cream cheese danishes, the shortcut version of a coffee shop classic: puff pastries with scored borders that rise and bake up golden, a lightly sweet vanilla cream cheese filling, with a smattering of mini semi-sweet chips that soften but keep their shape.

Cherry Danishes

As the puff pastry bakes, the scored edges rise into golden walls while the center stays level, holding a soft layer of sweetened cream cheese. A spoonful of glossy cherry pie filling finishes each pastry with deep red fruit.

Poached Eggs

The flavor of a poached egg is similar to a soft-boiled egg but it’s softer and the yolk is gooey. I prefer the texture of poached eggs over soft-boiled eggs.
