Do you love a savory breakfast? If so, here are 25 of the best and most delectable ways to add zing to your morning meal!
To start the day off nicely, a stack of pancakes dripping with syrup might be a welcome sight.
In all honesty, though, I have a definite preference for savory foods.
I want bacon, eggs, and bread, and I want them all!
Breakfasts that include protein, vegetables, and taste enhancers like sriracha set the day out on the right foot and keep us full until lunchtime.
With that in mind, I’ve made it my quest to find the best savory breakfast for all of us to enjoy!
And those interested in a plant-based breakfast will be pleased to see that this list includes several vegan options too.
Some work well for prepping ahead of time, and others are perfect for taking on the go.
Salmon Cream Cheese Bagels, Cheesy Savory Oatmeal, and Cheddar & Chive Waffles are just a few delectable options that will have you rushing out of bed in the morning.
Oh, and definitely, #24 deserves a spot on your breakfast table; it’s so tasty and full of flavors and aromas.
Napkin at the ready because these dishes are ridiculously delicious!
Look, I get it; cheese, bacon, and puff pastry are a match made in heaven.
Still, there’s always room for more.
Add some balsamic onion jam; why not!
Caramelized onions mellowed out the bacon’s savoriness.
The puff pastry provides a lovely texture and the tangy balsamic cuts through the cheese’s richness.
Everything looks so yummy!
I love eggs prepared in various ways, and quiches are among my top picks.
Traditional quiche is full of deliciousness.
Whether devouring a slice hot from the oven or a late-night leftover piece from the fridge, I always find myself raving about how buttery, flaky, and creamy it is.
Also, a pinch of nutmeg adds a wonderful nutty sweetness.
Don’t worry about leftovers since I’ve got the best ways to reheat quiches too!
Shakshuka is simply poached eggs in a tomato sauce.
This recipe uses canned tomatoes because of the sticky purée they’re doused with; the tomatoes crumble nicely when crushed.
Canned tomatoes will help you get the desired consistency, a thick but smooth sauce.
Then, the cumin and paprika’s warm aftertaste is softened by the melting feta cheese and the dish’s overall creaminess.
I use my cast-iron skillet frequently, and this recipe is perfect for it!
And the sauce, oh the sauce, is so good.
The luscious eggs in this meal are simmered in a tomato sauce cooked with garlic, cumin, and onion and then spiced up with a chipotle paste.
And the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce truly set this dish apart; it adds the perfect smokiness.
This one doesn’t come with sugary frills but somewhat savory and tasty ingredients like cheddar cheese, onion, and ham.
The exquisite flakiness of these scones is what I love most about them—even more, the meaty ham and the gooey cheese are a dynamic duo.
Plus, gobs of butter go into making them!
Have one bite, and you’ll be in morning bliss!
The convenience of one-bowl meals, even in the morning, is quite enticing to me.
It’s similar to fried rice, but it’s made in a single serving rather than a large pot.
Sprucing up your breakfast bowl with a sugary tang of pineapple and a bit of kick from sriracha guarantees a delightful morning treat.
These breakfast burritos are excellent for those mornings when you need something quick but still filling.
All the flavors burst out of the warm flour tortilla as you bite into the egg, melty cheese, chorizo, zesty pico de gallo, and creamy avocado inside.
Excellent for a hearty breakfast on the run, and they freeze nicely, too!
Don’t be fooled by how small they are.
These cheese muffins are on the smaller side, but they’re packed with flavor.
Muffins made according to this recipe are exceptionally fluffy, moist, oniony, and cheesy.
When you take that first bite of these delectable golden bites, you’ll be eager to bake them again and again for your loved ones.
Add some potatoes to your frittata for a delicious surprise!
It’s not quite like biting into a whole pan of baked eggs due to the potato frittata’s consistency.
They provide texture and volume to a frittata without introducing gluten.
With its delightful combination of bacon, feta, and green onions, this dish is the epitome of balance.
For a savory breakfast, you can do much more than frying up some eggs.
You won’t believe it’s completely plant-based because the texture and flavor are so close to traditional scrambled eggs!
Finding good vegan breakfast options is challenging, but this one is spot on for its rich, creamy, and softness.
What’s more, you can whip it up in a flash—just 10 minutes!
The charm of these home-cooked potatoes is in their crispness.
Crunchy crust, luscious center, and excellent seasonings.
Follow this recipe, and the entire family can enjoy indulgent hash browns free of unwanted additives.
Remember to use a potato with low moisture and high starch content, such as a Russet, for the crispiest results.
12. Avocado Toast
There’s a good reason why avocado toast is one of the best avocado breakfast meals.
Each piece of bread pops with flavor because of the blend of the avocado’s refreshing, zesty flavor and the bread’s toasty, crusty texture.
It’s absolutely tempting!
Remember how you said you would branch out and give different foods a shot this year?
Come on, then, and let’s do it with some savory oatmeal.
Gorgeous in appearance, this dish is a delightful marriage of earthy Brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes with the savory goodness of cheese.
Also, the presence of shallots enriches the aroma of this dish.
Turning the traditional sweet checkerboard into a savory one is right up my alley.
Crisp on the edges, fluffy center, and salty, these waffles are accentuated with the bright flavor of fresh chives.
For the toppings, you may put a fried egg and some sour cream there, too.
I’m used to pouring pancake batter into a pan and flipping it, but this Chinese pancake recipe is different.
It’s more like making bread or pastry, starting with a basic dough and flattening it out.
Crispy, flaky outside giving way to a slightly chewy interior—this is the magic of scallion pancakes.
When it’s new off the stove, it’s incredibly crunchy and has a fantastic onion aroma that’s hard to resist.
16. Pesto Eggs
Eggs are the best!
Despite their simplicity, eggs might benefit from a boost of flavor from time to time.
That’s what happens when you put eggs in pesto!
When paired with eggs, the pesto takes on a nutty, bright, herby taste and creamy texture and is SO tasty.
Like toast and an omelet for the morning, breakfast quesadillas are a great choice.
Toasted tortillas stuffed with bouncy scrambled eggs, meaty ham, and ooey-gooey cheddar cheese— that’s a rush of pleasure!
As for the Roma tomatoes, their juiciness and freshness make them a welcome change from the typical diner fare.
18. Huevos Rancheros
Ranchers’ eggs, or huevos rancheros, are a typical breakfast dish in rural Mexico.
The mix of fresh Pico de Gallo and lime juice lends a beautiful brightness and zing to these huevos rancheros, making them attractive for breakfast.
Also, the egg yolk serves as a velvety sauce, covering the tortillas in its lusciousness.
Sinangag, also known as Garlic Rice, is a Filipino breakfast staple.
Soft grains of rice are doused in garlicky oil, and the dish is boosted with a generous helping of fried garlic bits.
It’s a fantastic way to turn dull leftover rice into a garlicky flavor bomb that will raise your senses and get your day started on the right foot.
When you can’t decide between a bagel and cheese or an egg sandwich on a bagel, the answer is obvious: have both!
This sandwich masterpiece has the Holy Trinity of breakfast foods such as bacon, eggs, and cheese that never fail to satisfy.
Ugh, I’m starving with just a thought of it.
Strata is a hybrid dish that combines elements of the omelet, French toast, and quiche— impressive!
It tastes like a breakfast casserole but is presented like a cake.
The outside has a crisp crust, while the middle is like a custard pudding texture.
Even if it’s not sweet, I’d still love to try some!
No store-bought breakfast sausage can compare to this Homemade version.
Marinating the meat with herbs allows the herbs to be more infused into the combination, yielding a more flavorful result.
The subtle, herbaceous flavor and tender, juicy meat is genuinely remarkable.
Two classic dishes—BLT sandwich and eggs Benedict team up for a positively flavorsome morning feast.
And for a little added excitement, try heating your rich and creamy hollandaise sauce with some hot sauce and pouring it over a platter of Eggs Benedict— yum!
The mushroom gravy, with its rich, peppery flavor and luscious texture, is just as homey and inviting as country-style gravy.
Also, vegan biscuits are incredibly light and airy.
Making this dish vegan doesn’t compromise the flavor or texture.
The familiar flavors of creaminess, meatiness, and warmth remain.
Imagine yourself devouring this scrumptious sandwich while relaxing with a cup of tea and your pinky in the air.
The flavorful salmon, herby cream cheese, fresh dill, briny capers, and fluffy-toasty bagel all contrast with one another in a way that’s quite satisfying to the palate.
