Breakfast for Dinner


Growing up, breakfast for dinner was my favorite night of the week. Whether we were having French toast, pancakes, scrambled eggs, or all of the above, I thought it was so rebellious to eat breakfast food at the dinner table.

These days, I still love having breakfast for dinner sometimes - but my tastebuds have become a little more sophisticated over the years. Now, if I plan to have breakfast food for dinner, it's usually some variation of a "gourmet" egg sandwich...like this one:


I had some leftover goat cheese from my Whole Wheat Pasta with Goat Cheese, Arugula and Peas, so I decided to incorporate it in a dinner last week. I wanted something simple and nutritious, without having to go to the grocery store, so I whipped up this simple egg sandwich. First, I scrambled two eggs with some soy milk, and cooked them up in a frying pan. When the eggs were just about done cooking, I added a handful of the crumbled goat cheese. Then, I toasted two pieces of When Pigs Fly bread, and sliced up some tomatoes. I piled my sandwich high with the cheesy eggs, some arugula and the tomato slices. I then enjoyed this monstrous sandwich alongside some roasted potatoes. 

Despite how simple this dish was to make, it was an elegant breakfast-for-dinner dish (not to mention very filling). Adding goat cheese to scrambled eggs also makes them wonderfully fluffy and creamy.

Are you a fan of having breakfast for dinner?

  1. I love adding goat cheese or cream cheese to eggs. It works so much better than a hard cheese. Love the combo!

  5. One of my favorite dinners (which I actually haven't had in awhile) is a simple omelette with a side salad. Feels sophisticated almost!

  6. I'd love that sandwich for breakfast or dinner! I like omelets for dinner sometimes. And I make pancakes or cereal for dinner when I'm feeling lazy.

  7. Sometimes I also take typical breakfast meals for supper but not always. I see that I do it when I am very hungry but too tired to go for tradtional dinners.
