Update: Congratulations to Staci, whose favorite meatless breakfast is steel cut oatmeal. Don’t forget to stop by next Monday for another Meatless Recipe and Giveaway of Cook without a Book: Meatless Meals
With the October 25th publication date of Cook without a Book: Meatless Meals
Since today’s recipe is Egg Wrap-and-Runs with Mushrooms and Provolone, tell us your favorite meatless breakfast. Although I love these wrap and runs and enjoy them regularly (for lunch too), I’d have to say my very favorite weekday breakfast is quick cheesy grits.
Deadline for this week’s contest is Wednesday, September 28th at 9 PM ET. We’ll announce the winner on Thursday morning. I hope you’ll enter each week and try for your complimentary copy, but if don’t win, head over to your favorite on-line book seller and purchase Cook without a Book: Meatless Meals
And for those wondering why meatless, check out my new video.
I love oatmeal with chopped apple and walnuts!
Cinnamon Rolls!!! Does that count? ; )
My favorite is “Egg-in-a-Hole” – take a piece of bread, cut out a hole in the middle, and crack the egg in the hole! Make sure the yoke is runny – yum!
Tough choice, but I think buckwheat pancakes with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a side of eggs scrambled with feta, onion and tomato – I guess that’s technically brunch, but it’s still a favorite. Then I can have leftover pancakes as an afternoon treat, as I just did, with Nutella and sliced banana. 🙂
My favorite breakfast has to be gluten free and vegetarian with enough protein. So I love Bob’s Red Mill “Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal” with blueberries and a few nuts. I eat 2 servings that gives me 8g of protein and 8 g of fiber . YUM
Spinach, potato, feta cheese and greek olives in a fritata.
We have meatless breakfasts just about every day: oatmeal, toast and fruit; waffles with syrup and blueberries; scrambled eggs, toast and cantaloupe; or Grape-Nuts with raisins and toast.
My absolute favorite is a greek omelette with spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese
Omelet with peppers and onions!
For savory, I love egg salad. If I’m in a sweet mood, oatmeal with dried cherries
Oatmeal with brown sugar.
Buttermilk pancakes with fresh made applesauce.
A granola parfait made with homemade granola, non-fat plain yogurt, a bit of honey and fresh berries (summer version) or Craisins (winter version). Congrats on the new book – I’m looking forward to reading it!
Personally, I prefer a sweet breakfast most of the time. I usually have oatmeal, with cinnamon and raisins. Though if I’m in the mood for salty, I make a breakfast burrito: 1 scrambled egg, a spoonful of fat free refried beans, a heaping portion of pico de gallo, and some sriracha.
Definitely oatmeal – and now that the weather is turning cooler I’m looking forward to it! Love the original “How to Cook without a Book” and very excited to see the new book!
In the summer — fresh peach crumble. It’s my family’s favorite weekend treat!! And come winter, oatmeal apple crisp (though this year we’ll be having peach crumble, too, thanks to Pam’s freezer peaches post!!!
I like a touch of sweet and a touch of savory… my usual breakfast is plain greek yogurt with a dab of honey and berries, mango, pineapple- either fresh or frozen depending on the season- and a slice of whole grain toast spread with kalamata olive tapenade!
I’m not to exciting, but I like just plain old scrambled eggs, and toast. Usually I have a granola bar during the week while I’m running out the door to work, and scrambled eggs on the week-end is a treat.
Well it’s an omelet kinda thing.
Potatoes, onions, garlic, cheese, etc. add eggs. finish in the oven. plate and enjoy with maybe a salad and glass of wine.
Scrambled eggs with fresh salsa (heirloom tomatoes, onions, cilantro, sant amounts of garlic and green pepper) and sliced avocado. Some days a slice of raisin toast hits the spot; other days, if the avocados are “perfect” no need for the bread ~ the eggs and salsa and avocado are filling and satisfying
French Toast
leftover pizza or leftover spaghetti
peanut butter on toast folded in half… LOVE them… for some reason this fills me up till lunch time where anything else makes me hungry around 10am… go figure….
I adore eggs, but usually just have yogurt with fruit.
Nearly every morning, I have homemade goat’s milk yogurt with frozen wild blueberries, sometimes with a little honey if the whole business is a touch too tart. It takes on a smoothie consistency when mixed, which is very welcome during the height of summer.
I love it when my husband makes me crema de maiz, a classic Puerto Rican breakfast. It’s basically a hot cereal made out of coarse cornmeal, milk, sugar, nutmeg, vanilla extract and an egg. It is so delicious and filling.
As per Comment 24, the egg is optional.
Saute chopped onion and jalapeno in olive oil, add grated tomato and simmer for a moment. Add beaten eggs, salt & pepper, cook for a moment, then serve with warmed corn or flour tortillas.
My favorite meatless breakfast is a whole wheat English muffin with a little slather of natural peanut butter, and a piece of fruit.
Waffles
strawberries and whipped cream optional
Egg, cheddar extra tomatoes sandwich, made good bread.
Some greek yogurt with a little honey and whatever fruit or granola is around + an english muffin with a little peanut butter
Fritatta or an English muffin with peanut butter.
My favorite is the classic Filipino breakfast: Sinangag (Garlic Fried Rice), Salted Duck Eggs, Chopped Tomatoes and Tinapa (Smoked Fish), and some Pan de Sal (Filipino bread buns) with Quesong Puti (white cheese, somewhat like Feta cheese) . Wash it all down with a good, strong cup of coffee and a fresh,golden ripe Mango.
My favorite is the classic Huevos Rancheros. I make a slightly healthier take when I can, but eggs, black beans, tortillas, onion, tomato, salsa, cheese, hot sauce and sour cream can’t be beat. I also add some avocado as well for some healthy fats and creaminess.
English Muffins spread with butter and fried on the griddle!
I’m currently living abroad and have just discovered how to make my own yogurt. Slice up some fruit, add some oats, and top with cinnamon and a drizzle of honey. Delicious!
I eat pretty light in the morning — usually just toast and tea. But I did want to say that our family just recently jumped on the Meatless Monday bandwagon (mac & cheese for dinner last night!), so I would be thrilled to win this book!
Oatmeal with brown sugar, raisins, walnuts, ground flax seed and almond milk!
Love it.
My fav breakfast is eggs over medium with toast and jam.
I usually eat oatmeal for breakfast. I make a batch of steel cut oats on Sunday and just scoop out a serving everyday. That way I can customize it with dried or frozen fruit, jams, or my favorite for this time of year, pumpkin, walnuts and maple syrup!
An omelet filled w/creamed spinach, sauteed mushrooms and swiss cheese, topped w/hollandaise sauce.
My favorite is frittata with potatoes, onions and red bell peppers.
How to Cook Without a Book is one of my favorite cookbooks; I like the concept. It’s something that most people aren’t learning. I’m anticipating the release of Cook Without a Book: Meatless Meals. Can’t wait!
Greek omelet with spinach, tomatoes, onions black olives and feta cheese. Yum!!!
I am not very creative with this – toast and peanut butter is my favorite!
Blueberry pancakes.
On a weekday morning, when I’m getting everybody ready for their days, a bowl of oatmeal with almond butter, berries, banana, avocado, and a little yogurt really does the trick.
Fried egg sammitches!
Pancakes with raspberries and whipped cream- yum!
Mine is toast with peanut butter and jelly.
