Hallo Guest!
What we like to eat for breakfast is both personal and changes with culture, so I thought it would be interesting to make a breakfast thread.
What do you like to eat?
During work days, I don't always eat breakfast or I keep them simple. It might be a toast with cheese. It might be a handful of walnuts. It might be a spoon of cod liver oil and a glass of juice. I don't really have a set ritual .
However, during weekends, I like to have a proper breakfast. What I eat most of is herring on half a bun / slice of bread with mayonnaise and a softish boiled egg, like this:

It's absolutely delicious and I never tire of it. The herring filets come in a jar and you have to cut them to the size you want. It's great.
Here it's on homemade bread alongside black filter coffee and a glass of breakfast juice (apples, oranges & carrots).
Another common choice here is caviar in a similar setup, although we don't always bother with the eggs for that.

So what do you guys like to eat for breakfast?
I'm not a big fan of breakfast foods honestly, so I keep it simple. When I'm being good, I'll have steel cut oats and a Greek yogurt. When I'm being bad, I'll have a bagel with cream cheese and a side of bacon.
I have to watch my weight so I limit my breakfast to a couple plain bagels and some juice.
I love making breakfast, but as I am currently on a diet with a calorie limit, I don't get much of a chance to cook a real hearty one these days. I love making omelets, especially my cheesy turkey and jalapeno omelet that my partner loves.
These days I'll usually just have basic scrambled eggs with or without a couple bacon strips, alternating with a half bagel with light cream cheese and anchovy paste. On my days off I might also get lazy and grab some instant oatmeal. When I move in with my partner in the spring/summer things will change a lot though.
I don't always eat breakfast daily. When I do eat it, sometimes I just have a banana, orange, apple and/or yogurt for breakfast and sometimes I have a variation of a typical English breakfast which will include some combination of eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, baked beans and sometimes salsa or hot sauce. Once in a while I'll add some peanut butter and/or cheese to my breakfast.
My breakfast is the same thing every day.
Tea and a big plastic cup of milk (whole), about 300ml oats and whey protein blended into a thick liquid.
I usually just have a coffee and a small yoghurt, but I've been known to enjoy a bigger breakfast every now and then such as Eggs Benedict.
I do basically some variation of Cheerios with milk (sometimes with raisins or blueberries), yogurt and coffee.
Gosh some of you eat such nice breakfasts
I just eat either toast with cheese and salad (a mixture of rocket and other kinds) or a bowl of corn flakes. Then I chug down some cold orange juice to jolt myself awake and drink a pot of tea
We recently moved to new offices and my work space is very far away from the cafeteria; and as I'm currently mobility-challenged a work friend has been bringing me breakfast from the cafeteria every morning (which is very nice of her, and something I can get used to!). Usually it's thick yogurt with raspberries and chopped walnuts with a drizzle of honey, and a slice of health bread toast with butter. And a large black iced coffee to keep me awake. I work remotely on Mondays, so I really miss this *special delivery* on Mondays.
On weekends, it's usually two velvety scrambled eggs made the Gordon Ramsay way (his technique is the best imho), with a slice of toast made with the same brand of health bread they use at work (which is delicious) with Irish butter, and hot tea. Also, I absolutely love ruby red grapefruit juice over ice and occasionally have that with breakfast as well.
I would hire you as my personal breakfast maker

^ It would be my purr-leasure, m'dear. ;)
Years back I once cycled to school on no breakfast and almost fainted in front of a class, so since then I always have breakfast. Invariably a brown-bread sandwich, of which I have about 4 styles that I can prepare without the necessity of thought. Most often: humus, a sprinkle of those nut+berry mixes you can buy in a bag and a bit of chopped-up apple to kid myself that it's healthy. I only have time (and room :-[) for one drink, so coffee wins out over fruit juice.
(Cereal or eggs, which some of you guys go for, is something I'd prob eat in the evening.)
Glad you're taking care to have breakfast, Lisna. I love hummus and had some today on grilled pita triangles, but for lunch. I've never considered hummus for breakfast - and the thought of having it on brown bread sounds good to me! Do you mean you sprinkle the nut + berry mix, or the chopped apple, on the hummus? That's interesting, and I imagine it would be a nice combo of savory and sweet.
^ oops! Two ems in hummus. Thanks.
Yes, a small amount of cut-up apple with the nuts+berries all lying on the hummus before I put a roof on that sandwich to hold all the flavor down. ;) To be honest, that's the fanciest of my sandwiches, the others being more humdrum ham+cheese,etc.

Your work breakfast sounds really nice too, ribbons, and it's a good balance of food groups. I'm very pleased to hear that someone is helping out while you have mobility problems. I'm sure there must be many frustrations for you at the moment so it's very commendable that you are making the effort to get to work at all.
Thanks, Lisna, for your sandwich clarification - "a roof...to hold all the flavor down" :) - very clever. I plan to try that sandwich myself! I've always liked the contrast of sweet/salty/savory in food.
And thank you for your encouragement re my return to work. I was out for many months on disability leave, but with salary continuation thanks to my firm's supplemental benefits program. Much of my work depends on an in-person presence, so it actually eased my conscience to return because colleagues had to pick up the slack during my absence (and in the run-up to office move all the way across town, no less). I'm getting around much more easily now, walking with just a cane and a free leg! I'll miss those personally-delivered breakfasts, though. :)
veggie smoothie :guitar:
^ What kind of veggies are in it, Mindy? 🥬
Today is a U.S. holiday; I overslept and didn't put much into breakfast, but had a light smoothie with avocado, silken tofu and a little honey.
I just had a big handful of walnuts and whatever the kids didn't finish. This is normal.
If I'm feeling real dandy on a weekday, maybe I'll add a spoonful of cod liver oil to that :laughing:
Just has my egg and cheese croissants from Dunkin Donuts, my treat of the week :)

It was one of those pre-made smoothies. I think cucumber, spinach, ginger, apples from what I remember.

Whatever the kids didn't finish – usually consists of cold soggy toast and cold hardened scrambled eggs, as I recall. :)

Do you like Dunkin' Donuts coffee, RS? Lots of people here swear by it, but I see what the brouhaha is – tastes kind of bitter and watery to me.

Pre-made but still healthy, I see! I love just about anything with ginger in it.
I am finally eating my breakfast now - at 4:48 p.m. EST! A frenzied morning that lasted through most of the afternoon and not enough time to eat.
Cottage cheese with pineapples, slivered almonds and honey. And cold toast with peanut butter.
I eat cottage cheese quite a bit but it is a chore to eat it. It isn't very nice and but I still finish it.
Started eating Skyr ages aho as it is very high in protein and I much prefer that. And you can get it in lots of different flavours.
Its basically a thick, smooth yoghurt from Iceland. 45g protein per pot.
If I eat cottage cheese, it's usually with some kind of jam, like cherry jam... effectively ruining it as a healthy meal :laughing:
It is boring on its own, even if I like the texture. Skyr is nice!
While on the topic of lactic acid producing bacteria, my whole family has gone kombucha crazy, so we're always producing kombucha now. It's so nice, we quaff it down much faster than we can make it.
Me and my wife have just had a 5 day fast. Yesterday, we were working up slowly to a regular diet. I had steamed cauliflower for dinner. We've had broth. But today's breakfast was the first proper meal and we'd both been looking forward to it for days. And it was everything we had longed for 🥰
My wife baked sourdough buns with pumpkin seeds. I made us perfect cappucinos from freshly grounded beans and also managed to perfect my Ramsay-inspired scrambled eggs. We had fresh orange juice. We had avocados, fresh tomatos, field salad, spring onions, even some radishes.
Here's one half-bun with smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, fresh tomato and scallops. So fricking delish!

So this is one of the meals I'll guess we'll be serving at our future BnB 🙂
Finished the meal with an avocado with lime and a bit of salt and some yummy candied fennel seeds that we bought just for fun.
Now sipping coffee outside in the sun in my deck chair with no shirt on 😎 Yes, it finally got weirdly warm! Loving it ❤️
You can't post that and then not show us. Shirtless pic in the secret nudes thread!
Looks like a very nice breakfast from Wifebrush. I'd visit your BnB.
I've eaten the exact same thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day for over 20 years. It simplifies those daily tasks so I can predict bi-weekly spending to within ><$0.05. Groceries take me exactly 6 minutes once every 14 days. For breakfast I have two cups of banana strawberry yogurt, paired with 14oz of coffee with 2g of stevia and a dash of french vanilla creamer.
When I want to do something special, say, when I'm out with friends for brunch one weekend now and again, I'll treat myself to eggs benedict. That's my favorite. But from day to day, I keep things simple.
^Really? That kinda reminds me of David Lynch 😄
I suspect I'd get very bored, but I'm also a bit of a hedonist.
My breakfast is so boring. Ever since I started working out, I only eat oatmeal and use fruits to sweeten it. If no fruits are available I will eat it plain. I alternate between bananas and blueberries being added to it. I'm going to try adding chia seeds next time I go grocery shopping.

I put oats in a big protein beaker.

Add milk. Microwave for 2 mins and then add protein powder scoops.
Then blend with a hand blender.
Drink.
I used to do that years ago but instead of protein powder. I would put those meal replacement pouches and some oats into a container like that after I blend them.
