Breakfast for dinner

simplyfriends — Sat, 06 Jun 2020 01:51:05 GMT

Sometimes I like breakfast for dinner. I'm low on groceries but had eggs, ore-ida potatoes o'obrien and cheese. I decided to make a strata. I fried up the potatoes in a skillet with some extra chopped onion and bell pepper. I then layered the potato mixture in a 8x12 glass greased Pyrex just enough to fully cover the bottom. Then I layered the potatoes with grated mozzarella to generously cover. Over that I poured a mixture of 6 eggs whipped with 2 tbsp of milk. Of course I seasoned each step with salt and pepper and I also used some garlic and onion powder. Baked for about 25 mins until golden at 375. Served with sour cream and salsa. It was yummy.

My family likes breakfast for dinner too.

This week we had ham, potato crowns, scrambled eggs, biscuits, and gravy.

Very enjoyable.

Your strata sounds really good @simplyfriends ! I might have to give that a try.

I really dislike breakfast for dinner. Really, I dislike breakfast food and love meat, vegetables, and salad. I would be more likely to eat pot roast for breakfast.

It's very rare when I want that kind of good.

i LOVE breakfast for dinner.....to me it is a bit decadent, especially when it includes lots of bacon.

We love breakfast for dinner, too! Your recipe sounds fabulous. I would add one thing, though...sausage or bacon.

I had a bowl of cereal last night does that count? I often have 'scrambletts" (failed omlettes) with veggies and cheese for dinner. Quick ,Easy, Done.

I'm with @ECBG , I'd go with supper for breakfast except mine would be a juicy burger with onion and fries. Yum.

@simplyfriends

That sounds delicious.

I would say that my husband likes breakfast for dinner more than I do.

We would like what you made. I will have to try that. Thank you.

We usually do an omelette for dinner once a week. Cook up some veggies and add a bit of cheese, sometimes bacon or sausage......yum! Goes nice with a chilled white wine

Most people that like "breakfast for dinner" (I DO NOT) like something that includes pancakes,waffles,etc. I think it is the sweet that is really wanted.

Growing up my mother would always make a few extra baked potatoes. Next day she'd take off the potato skins and cut the potatoes into bite size pieces, toss it in with some bulk sausage and once the sausage was cooked, beat a couple eggs and pour over the top. She would cook till the eggs were no longer runny. I love this and have it at least twice a month.

I love breakfast for dinner...it seems you always have the makings for it on hand, and it's so satisfying and a nice break from the usual dinner fare.

Another reason I love it...I am as far away from a "morning person" as you can get. I'm much more likely to make a big breakfast type meal in the evening than the mornings. In the morning, scrambled eggs and bacon or toast is all I'm willing to make if making a meal. But in the evening, I'm more likely to get more creative with breakfast and make things that are a little more time consuming like homefries, pancakes, etc.!

Breakfast is my favorite meal. Not my family's. I can get away with a brunch with them once in a while.

My husband and I have breakfast for supper at least once a week. We lean towards bacon and egg sandwiches, sausage and French toast, sausage gravy and toast, ham and waffles, and country ham biscuits.

With my allergy to milk and egg whites, I don’t do well with breakfast foods for breakfast; it actually ruins my digestive system for the entire day. Bagels or English muffins with jam are my safest options, as well as a hamburger or hot dog.

Unfortunately DH has developed an issue with eggs; otherwise I used to do Eggs Benedict for dinner. Don't be impressed, finally found a good microwave egg poacher and use the Knorr's hollandaise mix. Tried doing hollandaise from scratch a couple times and the Knorr's was better. LOL

He was on a pancake/waffle kick awhile back, but if I want sweets, I want cake or pie...

All this stuff sounds great.

But don't forget Dinner for Breakfast. If you're active or need to be alert in the morning, there's nothing like a grilled chicken breast, fish filet, pork chop, beef or some other meat, plus an oversized helping of steamed veggies. Ready in 10 minutes, tops. Keeps you going hours.

Then other meals can be simple things you can grab with no prep or cook in minutes. Leftover anything. Potstickers. Cheese, bread and fruit. Scrambled eggs. Salad. Baked potato with leftover steamed broccoli and shredded cheese. Pasta and eggs baked in muffin tins. Deli meat rolled up in romaine leaves, condiments at will. Nearly anything with a dollop of limono or alfredo or pesto or what-have-you-o. Add in carby stuff wherever you like or need it.
