Top Breakfast Recipe Ideas And Inspiration
1. This High Protein Breakfast
![recipe breakfast 1](https://cookonmonday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/recipe-breakfast_1-819x1024.jpg)
Here’s a colorful and berry-full recipe if there ever was one! This protein-rich breakfast is full of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. They bring a touch of freshness, sweetness, and health to make a wonderfully fulfilling breakfast.
At its heart, this recipe can appear like a fruit salad. To some extent, that is true. However, there is more to this, that adds some volume, texture, and deliciousness to the recipe.
While the fruits take centerstage in appearance, the stars of the recipe are riced cauliflower and oatmeal! These ingredients push the health quotient of the recipe further, making it an amazing and filling breakfast.
2. Easter Bunny Pancakes

Pancakes are the classic delicious breakfast. This one makes it power-packed by adding protein powder to the flour. To make things better, there are some strawberries, bananas, and blueberries in the mix. The pancakes are arranged in a bunny shape for the Easter theme, and that yogurt sprinkled with shredded coconut is a creative and tasteful way to get the bunny’s tail.
The visual element of this recipe and arrangement certainly is likable, but I do like the playfulness that comes along as well. I guess playing with your food is sometimes okay!
3. A Hash Brown Scramble Bowl

Give your breakfast some style with this recipe that includes hash browns, chicken nuggets, and eggs. It’s nourishing, filling, and it’s delicious. Exactly the qualities you want in your breakfast!
The recipe is a copycat of the Chick-fil-A Hash Brown Scramble Bowl. It employs some interesting ingredients like Trader Joes Hash Brown Patty, chicken breast chunks (Kirkland brand), eggs, and shredded Lite3 cheese blend.
It does require some offer to cook, and you’ll need an air fryer, frying pan, and a small bowl to complete the recipe. And yes, the copycat recipe comes pretty close to hit the right flavors and deliciousness.
4. This Pancake Breakfast

This breakfast plate could as well be a palate that showcases art! Brilliant in appearance, taste, and nourishment, this pancake breakfast is something to love.
The vibrant plate includes sweet potato nut butter pancakes, sliced avocado, an egg, and some fresh raspberries. Reach out for a bottle of maple syrup and enjoy this delish meal.
Though the recipe looks quite exclusive, it’s remarkable that it doesn’t go overboard. The ingredients are all simple and easy to get hold of. They’re something you probably do enjoy for breakfast every so often. However, the presentation completely changes the appeal of these ingredients.
5. The Eggs And Avocado Plate
![recipe breakfast_5](https://cookonmonday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/recipe-breakfast_5-1-1024x1024.jpeg)
Here’s another vibrant delicacy for breakfast. This one features baby avo seeded toast, sauteed cremini mushrooms with spinach, and a touch of parmesan cheese over the mushrooms. The sliced tomatoes in the center add to the vibrant look, while also bringing flavor and texture to the meal. Looks like a breakfast treat!
Again, this is a breakfast that you won’t have to sweat to prepare. The ingredients are common or easily available, making it possible to whip up this breakfast with relative ease.
6. A Wonderful Veggie Plate
![recipe breakfast_6](https://cookonmonday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/recipe-breakfast_6-1-1024x1024.jpeg)
A nourishing veggie plate looks like just the right start for the day. This one includes carrots roasted in ghee with a honey-garlic-sriracha sauce combination as the star of the show. It’s accompanied by broiled campari tomatoes, a fried egg, and sautéed garlicky spinach with cremini mushrooms. The sprinkling of parmesan cheese over the mushrooms adds more flavor and balance.
This is a beautifully arranged and hearty meal, nutritious and filling. Yet, it doesn’t bloat you with calories. This one’s just about 500 calories.
7. Banana-based Paleo Breakfast
![recipe breakfast_7](https://cookonmonday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/recipe-breakfast_7-1-1024x1024.jpeg)
As the name implies, the star of the show and this plate are the mini pancakes made with two eggs and a banana. They’re appetizing and add quite a look and style to the plate. Accompanying these are sautéed spinach, raspberries, sliced avocado, and a fried egg.
What’s really special, in my opinion, are the banana slices coated with eggs. The dish looks remarkably appetizing as it is, but is quite worth the visual appeal in eating as well. The contrast of the fried egg with the soft and sweet banana interiors is a straightforward delight!
8. A Nut Butter Combo
![recipe breakfast_8](https://cookonmonday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/recipe-breakfast_8-1-1024x1024.jpeg)
The highlights of this breakfast idea are the two toasts. One gets topped with nut butter of your choice (think peanut butter), while the other gets a helping of avocado. That’s quite a combination, in my opinion, with the contrast and style making a nice statement.
Other ingredients on the plate include a fried egg, sliced and fresh tomatoes, and sautéed spinach with a sprinkling of parmesan. Quite a start to the day!
9. A Protein-Packed Meal
![recipe breakfast_9](https://cookonmonday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/recipe-breakfast_9-1-1024x1024.jpeg)
This breakfast plate looks all kinds of beautiful and nourishing. Seared salmon takes a healthy portion of the plate both literally and figuratively. It helps that it’s accompanied by similarly healthy options like baby kale, grilled halloumi, and some avocados.
Though sumptuous, this isn’t a calorie fest either. The calorie count for this recipe is only 500, making this a good choice for a healthy and nourishing meal. Its deep flavors and wonderful style are quite the treat, in the culinary as well as the visual sense.
10. Savory Sweet Potato Pancakes
![recipe breakfast_10](https://cookonmonday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/recipe-breakfast_10-1-1024x1024.jpg)
This breakfast plate would be incredible on its own, but the serving style takes it a notch further. The savory sweet potato pancakes are topped with smoked salmon to make this amazing gourmet meal.
Other ingredients on the plate include some mayo to top the salmon and a nicely sliced cucumber that adds both freshness and texture to the recipe, while also bringing some balance.
11. Banana Protein Pancake

Pancakes with some protein powder are a nice and power-packed way to start your day. This recipe also goes further with more healthy options, like adding a lot of fruit and peanut butter. So, you have bananas, blueberries, and strawberries, all added to the pancake meal as a way to a wonderful breakfast that’ll set your day on the right path!
As we see, the ingredients here are simple enough and can be sourced easily for when you need to make this recipe. The presentation is also quite inspiring and delightful, making this a lovely addition to the breakfast table.
