9 Decadent Breakfasts for Dinner Because We’re Breaking All the Rules

We might be sticklers for French pastry. We’ll come after you if you use warm butter for pie crust or cold eggs in your cookies. But at night, after a long day of work, we throw all our dinnertime dictates out the window in favor of the food we crave most. Chicken and waffles? Obviously. Pancake party? Heck yes. Because we’re hungry. We’re tired. And we want breakfast for dinner.

This week, join us as we reclaim our eggs and toast for supper. Breakfast, after all, is just too good to have only once a day. Whether you’re a waffle person or a strata loyalist, here are the best recipes to enjoy morning, noon, or night.

Hash It Out

When all else fails, hash it out. Because seriously, is there anything easier than taking yesterday’s leftovers and sautéing it with potatoes? Put an egg on top, and you have (probably) a well-rounded dinner. Thanks, A Better Happier St. Sebastian!

Hole Up

My Name Is Yeh whips up this simple classic for breakfast, but we think it would make a good, soul-satisfying supper. Because eggs. And carbs. We’re sensing a theme here.

In Bruges

Waffle Day may be long gone, but really…do you need an excuse? Hummingbird High shows us how to make a classic, yeasted liege.

Strata Various

Like the hash, strata is the perfect way to use up the odds and ends sitting in your fridge. Bake it with veggies, and it’s almost a respectable, adult-like dinner. Thanks, Food Fanatic!

Gallant Galette

So galettes aren’t strictly for breakfast. But this potato-filled, chive-sprinkled creation from Joy the Baker screams morning food — and weeknight, too.

Nutella, My Bella

Fact: Nutella makes everything better. Including this fluffy French toast from Love and Lemons.

Drill Sergeant

Apart from the fact that they have an adorable name like toast soldiers, this breakfast staple, smothered in miso butter, makes a killer dinner. Thanks, I Am a Food Blog!

Get Cheesy

We grew up with buttermilk pancakes, but ricotta takes How Sweet Eats’ batter to a whole ‘nother level. Drizzle a tall stack with lemon glaze and top it with chocolate shavings.

So Wrong. So Right.

It’s savory French toast. It’s also a sandwich. It’s so wrong that it has to be right. Thanks, Lady and Pups!
