Hearty Hot Breakfast Ideas

1. Amazing Hot Breakfast: Ultimate Breakfast Hotdogs

Try something a little different taste with one of these Ultimate Breakfast Hotdogs. With potatoes, eggs, cheese, bacon, tomatoes, and more, it’s sure to fill you up and make you smile.

The eggs are cooked sunny side up, and the crunchy bacon adds the perfect touch to this delicious and easy breakfast.

2. Savory Oatmeal with Cheddar Cheese and Fried Egg

Not in the mood for a sweet breakfast? You can still enjoy your oats, but make it Savory Oatmeal with Cheddar and Fried Egg. What a hearty bowl! You can make the oats in the microwave if you’re in a hurry, or you can make them with steel-cut oats. The steel-cut oats take longer to make but have more texture than rolled oats. Fry up sausage with some peppers and onion and enjoy this hearty and delicious hot breakfast!

3. Easy Wrapped Hot Breakfast Sandwiches

These Easy Wrapped Breakfast Sandwiches are the ideal breakfast for weekday mornings. Send the kids off to school with full bellies that will hold them over until lunchtime. The secret to these delicious little pockets of breakfast is rolling out some canned biscuits, placing your filling inside and then rolling it all up to contain everything. These are perfect for on-the-go breakfasts since they are self-contained, and make for a mess-free breakfast at the table, too! These can also be made with bacon, which can be easily made in the oven while you prep the other ingredients.

6. Cinnamon Fruit Biscuits

Cinnamon Fruit Biscuits are an easy, hot breakfast that kids and adults alike will look forward to. You can use your own favorite biscuit recipe or refrigerated biscuits to keep things simple.

Cinnamon fruit biscuits are pretty versatile. I used strawberry jam in the center, but you could easily substitute any type of jam you have. I think the next time I make these, I will try grape and apricot jam. Oh wait – what about orange marmalade? See? There are so many great varieties that you will have these biscuits in the oven every weekend.

14. Spicy Sausage Breakfast Sandwich with Chiptole Gravy

I don’t know about you, but my favorite breakfasts always include a heaping ladle of gravy. Try this Spicy Sausage Breakfast Sandwich with Chipotle Gravy if you feel the same way! These can be made with homemade or storebought biscuits, and if you prefer a heartier gravy, use 2 pounds of sausage instead of one. You can even mix up the types of sausages that you use, for example, use 1 pound of Italian and one pound of hot sausage.

15. Bacon Breakfast Casserole

Breakfast just isn’t the same without a mouthful of bacon, is it? This Bacon Breakfast Casserole bakes up in just 35 minutes, so it’s perfect for a Sunday brunch! One of the secrets to this recipe to use bread that is a bit stale already since it is easier to cut. You could also use chopped-up ham or sausage instead of bacon. Another variation to this amazing casserole is to add some vegetables either inside or on top. This can be veggies such as tomatoes or onions or asparagus.

16. Hot Breakfasts- Burritos

Breakfast Burritos are portable, hot, and delicious. Stuff them with your favorite breakfast fixings, veggies, and cheese. Easy peasy! You can include hashbrowns, eggs, and your favorite breakfast meat such as bacon, sausage, or ham. These would also be wonderful for a crowd, as you can create a breakfast burrito buffet line so everyone can top it with their favorite veggies and sauces. They can be served with salsa or eaten plain. Either way, they are delicious.

Around the holidays, you have to try this Herbed Breakfast Stuffing Casserole. It’s a great breakfast for a crowd. The easiest way to get this done is to cook the meat and chop it up, and then layer everything into the casserole dish. This is made with Herbed Stuffing, although you could use regular or even cut your own bread to make homemade stuffing. But if you are feeding a crowd, I recommend you stick to the bagged stuffing so you can get back to the fun!
