My wife doesn’t like my favorite. I’m a egg/omelet person; she’s pastries/waffles/french toast (and no, eggs and pancakes do not go together. Ugggh. Given that, we’ll probably have bacon (discovered recently that oven baking is the way to go), waffles (made with seltzer), and strawberries for her and beach plum jelly for me. If I were on my own, it’s be a French omelette with jalapenos, with emmentaler cheese. ---

Biscuits and sausage gravy with fried eggs. Or homemade hash from chopped leftover baked potato, onion, bell pepper, and leftover roast beef. ---

At least once a month, I do eggs Florentine (leftover rice with a layer of spinach, some crumbled bacon and two eggs cracked on top and baked). This can also be done without the bacon for the vegetarians in the tribe. Other favorites are hand grated hash browns with eggs, bacon and hot biscuits, one of several varieties of quiche or huevos rancheros. ---

I love eggs pretty much every way you can make them, and when eating out I usually do an Eggs Benedict variation (without the hollandaise sauce, please). But… for an absolutely ideal breakfast, I imagine it would be: 3 eggs, over easy (2 are just never enough) A few strips of crispy bacon Fat, spicy Italian sausage (links) Home fries (crispy potato chunks with mushrooms and onions and bell peppers and…) Toast, either sweet or sour white bread, butter only Some fruit on the side Freshly Squeezed OJ (could be in Mimosa form) No coffee (not with breakfast, but before breakfast). ---

Spinach and feta omelette, hash browns, toast, and tomato juice (or Bloody Mary). I love huevos rancheros, but have never made it at home. mmm ---

Funny, I went to the store this morning with the full intention of making this exact breakfast and I still came home an ingredient short. And I am NOT going to make bread right now. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > This is similar to what I do sometimes. Cook four rashers of bacon in a cast-iron frying pan. While the bacon is cooking, dice a potato into a bowl, and cook with a little water in the microwave oven for five minutes. When the bacon is done, remove the meat and cook the potatoes and a chopped onion, seasoned with salt and ground black pepper, in the grease. When the potatoes and onions are done, chop up the bacon and stir it in. Flatten the mixture, and put four ‘dimples’ in it. Crack an egg into each dimple. Cover and cook until whites are set and yolks are liquid. Thanks you guys! Just made Johnny L.A.'s version, (had no green pepper or paprika) and Mrs. Gap and I just feasted. Yum!🙂 ---

Yum!🙂 I’m glad you liked it! 🙂 It’s Saturday, so the bacon is cooked and being kept warm in the oven while the freshly-grated hashbrowns are cooking. Eggs are at room temperature, and ready to be fried over-easy in gobs of butter. ---

Indian-style French toast. What makes it special is that there is no sweetness in it—eggs, salt, cilantro leaves, onions, and green chilis, with ketchup in the side. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-home-made-breakfast/775899.md?page=2)
