Pumpkin Breakfast Parfait

I stole this idea from a friend of mine who brought pumpkin and yogurt parfaits to breakfast meetings in the fall. It's a perfect start to a brisk fall or winter day, with sweet pumpkin, warm spices, and tangy yogurt. —fiveandspice

Speculoos Breakfast Cake

If a speculoos biscuit is a Pokemon (stay with me), then this cake is its final evolution. The original cookies become spread  ( which is perfect on apples or straight from the jar )  and that spreads becomes a simple breakfast cake. I would take a sheet of this moist cake, with it's subtle warm spice, over a Charizard any day. —Kendra Vaculin

Early Bird Breakfast Tacos

This past summer, my sister and I opened up a gourmet taco cart in downtown Bloomington, Indiana. Eventually, life took over (she was in school, and I was working full-time), so we left the street-food business, but not before some insanely delicious taco recipes were born.

Warm and Nutty Breakfast Couscous

After long Sunday morning hikes, my husband and I love a healthy, satisfying breakfast that is packed with good carbs and protein. This warm and nutty breakfast couscous is a staple for us. It's chock-full of protein-rich seeds and nuts and is sweetened with ground cinnamon and pure maple syrup. Pepitas are flat, green Mexican pumpkin seeds found at Mexican markets, health food stores, and some major supermarkets. Unsalted pumpkin or sunflower seeds make good substitutes. —Food Blogga

You’ve heard of breakfast for dinner, but have you met dinner for breakfast? If not, allow me to formally introduce you to a morning-friendly dish that’s got the structure and heartiness of a proper casserole, with your favorite parts of breakfast. Also known as the “breakfast casserole,” it has the stature of a lasagna with the fillings of an omelet. In other words, you’re going to love it.

Strawberry Balsamic and Olive Oil Breakfast Cake

Balsamic vinegar and strawberries are a classic pairing. Balsamic vinegar and olive oil are a classic vinaigrette. Surely, I thought to myself, all three must come to sweet-and-sour harmony in a cake.

Sharp Cheddar and Mustardy Greens Breakfast Sandwich

What can I say? I looove breakfast sandwiches. Especially ones that include a fried egg and sharp cheddar. These ones, with creamy, mustardy Swiss chard on top of the cheese and egg, I first made one day last year when we had some friends over for breakfast. They were a hit, and since then I've made them many more times. —fiveandspice
