What is a typical daily or special occasion breakfast for you?

I normally don't eat breakfast and fast until lunch, but if it's a special occasion or I'm wanting a fancy brunch, Turkish Eggs or Çilbir are my favorite .

I like Chef John's Recipe, but have made the spice butter with only smoked paprika and it still comes out good! Runny poached egg over garlicky yogurt and topped with spiced red butter is sinfully good for its simplicity, and even better when mopped up with bread!

croissant or a pain au chocolat.
If I feel fancy I also warm some milk, fluff it up and improvise myself a "cappuccino" instead of a regular coffee

Typically toast with jam, or english muffin with egg and cheese and a coffee. If I'm driving into the office, will grab a bagel with egg/cheese/sausage from one of the coffee shops. Occasionally on the weekend I'll do pancakes. Used to do diners on the weekends before having a kid.

A breakfast pizza from Walmart, usually on a Saturday. These are surprisingly good. We have to keep them stocked up in the freezer :D

Normal: Jimmy Dean's Turkey Sausage Breakfast Bowl with a bit of extra cheese. Easy, tasty, not too unhealthy, and it's fast enough to make that I can roll out of bed 15 minutes before I need to leave for work. If I'm in an extreme hurry, it'll just be a quick yogurt and cheese stick.

Special-ish (so weekends or other not-work days): Actually cook the things ;) Uncured bacon, eggs fried in the bacon grease, and a couple slices of toast with butter.

Actually Special: Homemade french toast.

I got 3 levels for you.

1. Quick B-Fast: Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich. You pick the bread component. Get bacon from the farmers market.
2. The Weekender: Make a baked potato the night before, use a russet for this. Morning of cut that up into quarter slices and fry hot in oil and butter. Fry to GBD. In another pan fry red onion, broccoli, and poblanos in butter and season with salt, white pepper, and chipotle powder until they have good color and are cooked but still have a little cronch to them. Mix with potatoes and serv immediately, garnish with chive if you like.
3. The Show Stopper aka: Fishy Breakfast. Do this for when you have guests over they will lose their minds. Picked up some smoked salmon from the store. First thing fry some potatoes since the second part's going to go really fast and you can keep them on low heat to maintain crunchiness in temperature. The big step - scramble some eggs pour them into a medium low temp nonstick pan with butter and cook keeping them moving until they're at a soft scramble. Kill the heat and throw in chunks of the smoked salmon you picked up, just tear it apart and toss it in. The heat from the eggs and pan will heat the salmon back up. Eggs will retain their moisture and they won't be overcooked. Season with just a little bit more salt some black pepper garnish with chives. Toss it onto a plate with the potatoes serve it with a bread of your choosing.

Around last year I started having a bagel w/ cream cheese for breakfast every morning and I’ve just stuck to that. Sometimes I’ll go with friends and get pancakes or waffles but it’s a bagel 95% of the time.

My breakfast is my dinner. I usually eat the first meal of the day after I'm home from work.

Typical: I usually wake up and make some coffee (i do pourover), and then I either have meal-prepped overnight oats usually with some high protein yogurt + fruit, or if i didn't meal prep then I'll have granola + yogurt and fruit, or some oatmeal (I usually do steal-cut).

Some mornings I also have a croissant or a chocolatine

Special: I really enjoy making French Toast as a special breakfast.

I am generally not a big breakfast person. Daily at-home breakfast is always two Eggo's (don't laugh!), sometimes with a dab or two of blackberry or boysenberry jam. It's convenient and holds me over until lunch.

If I am on vacation, or at a work event where I know I'll be consuming a lot more energy, I may go for a more full breakfast, usually scrambled eggs and toast or a croissant. I do love pancakes and Belgian waffles too, but they are less protein.

My breakfast during the week is usually either oatmeal or muesli, typically a nutty or fruity mix. On the weekends I tend to skip breakfast and just have lunch.

For special occasions (aka i can be bothered) I'll have some pancakes

Daily, I have been trying to eat less, so in the morning, I do a shake with a high protein low sugar yogurt with some other things to make sure I am still get nutrients like some seeds for fiber, cinnamon, tiny honey, etc.

If I make myself something, my 'daily' choice is an egg sandwich but that's not too frequent. My special breakfast is whole wheat banana pancakes when I have an over ripe bunch on the counter. I make them for the kids. The rest is frozen for future meals.

My typical daily breakfast is coffee.

My special breakfast is typically something my wife makes, often a "Hawaiian breakfast" of Spam, rice, linguica, eggs, and green onions.

"Daily": whatever I can find in the fridge or leftovers. That or the very reliable and never wrong cereal/oatmeal/everything bagel with garlic and herb cream cheese.
However when I have the time and energy I love to make this sandwich: egg with slices of a sharp cheese(cheddar or gouda, usually one slice above the egg and one below) on toasted sourdough bread. Sometimes I butter the bread but it doesn't really add much so I usually don't. And, supplies permitting, bacon may appear in it. :)

Every now and then we'll do pancakes from scratch on the griddle.

If we're able to get out hands on it we love to do a traditional Irish/British Fry with sausages, black and white pudding, eggs over easy and some homemade brown bread as a special breakfast

I usually do coffee and a bagel with peanut butter or cream cheese!

If I'm feeling extra driven I'll do eggs with low sodium bacon baked in the oven

Breakfast on a weekday, yoghurt... if anything

Weekend? Sausage sarnie (Meatfree these days)

Special occassion? Sausage and egg sarnie w/ a couple of pancakes

Usually do either a fruit smoothie with various fruits, almond milk, some flax, chia, and hemp seeds, a bagel with peanut butter, or a sausage egg and cheese bagel. All depends on the amount of time I have in the morning. On the weekends, I’ll either skip breakfast or make pancakes, waffles, of French toast.

Typical: I usually switch between two breakfasts. Two egg omelette with a Fairlife shake, or a Kodiak Protein Pancake (with zero sugar maple syrup) and a Fairlife shake. Every morning with a coffee.

Special: Peanut Butter, Banana, and Cream Cheese sandwhich. Usually when I'm looking to have a carby day (i.e I'm not working out and need to chill out on the protein).

I have a smoothie with yoghurt, soy milk and frozen berries, but only after two cups of english breakfast tea. I move on to solid food around midday

If I'm actually eating breakfast it's only when I'm out at a cafe or there's a buffet at a hotel lol

Typical: Just tea. I wake up late and hate making breakfast when Im already late to stuff. Tea usually holds me over to lunch time.

Special: Steak and Eggs. Ever since I've read that astronauts traditionally ate steak and eggs before flight, I've always treat myself to this before the start of long day (driving or outdoor stuff). Usually this is an expensive thing to order at a diner, but luckily, I found a place nearby that does a great S&E with hash browns for less than $15 USD. I've pivoted to just ordering from them instead of making it myself.

I've been on a cup ramen fix lately.

Typical
On days where my wife goes to work, I make her breakfast tacos. They only take about 3 minutes to make.

1. Soften up about 1.5 ounces of cream cheese in a pan, then stir in the seasoning du jour (either True Lemon and black pepper, Penzey's Justice, or Trader Joe's Everything But The Bagel).
2. In the same pan, melt in a little butter and soft scramble an egg, mixing it into the cream cheese as it is almost completely set.
3. Heat up a couple of King's Hawaiian street taco tortillas for a few seconds in the microwave.
4. If I used the Everything But The Bagel seasoning, add a few slices of lox to the tortillas and sprinkle with lemon pepper.
5. Divide the eggs between the tortillas.
6. Also, a cup of instant ginger tea.

For me, I will either make:

1. Tex-Mex stye breakfast tacos (where I also brown some breakfast sausage with a Tex-Mex spice blend) and add some tomatillo salsa, lime, and yogurt
2. A breakfast patty melt with sausage or bacon, a fried egg, and slice of American cheese
3. A baked potato (in the microwave... I'm not waiting an hour) with butter, cheddar, and Greek yogurt.
4. If I'm being particularly lazy, a bowl of cereal (Raisin Bran, Corn Flakes w/ sliced banana, or Grape Nuts)
5. Either coffee or tea to drink.

Mornings Where My Wife Doesn't Work But I Do

1. For me, a patty melt as above. For my wife, a sandwich made made with a couple of Fruit Loop flavor Eggo waffles with an Impossible sausage patty and fried egg or a bagel with cream cheese, capers, lox, and tomato slices.
2. Tex-Mex breakfast tacos for both of us
3. A cup of tea

Mornings Where We're Both Off

1. Pancakes or French toast, scrambled eggs (usually with Penzey's Justice and cheddar, or cream cheese and lemon-pepper), Morning Star bacon for her, and real bacon for me
2. Çilbir (as mentioned by @KneeFingers), although I don't poach the eggs. My wife's are over medium, and on mine I break the yolks and cook them completely through.
3. Migas (scrambled eggs with fried onions and red bell pepper, cheddar cheese and queso quesadilla, crumbled tortilla chips, served with tomatillo salsa and sliced avocado)
4. Breakfast taco bowls (I can't believe I nearly forgot this one)
   • Hashbrowns (I just get the frozen ones and pop them in the air fryer)
   • Sausage w/ Tex-Mex seasoning (Quorn crumbles w/ maple syrup for her, regular sausage for me)
   • Scrambled eggs
   • Grated cheddar and queso quesadilla
   • Cubed avocado sprinkled with lime, salt, and black pepper
   • Sliced cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and Greek yogurt
   • Tortilla taco salad bowls (the kind you bake yourself)
   • Assemble ingredients in bowl as desired and eat.
5. An "iced latte" for her, and coffee for me

Special Occasions

1. Eggs Benedict for her, made with a base of crab cakes from a nearby seafood place, poached eggs, and stick blender hollandaise. I will just have a patty melt.
2. Dutch baby pancakes, drizzled with lemon juice and sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Depending on where I’ve been living:

• 50g oats, 20g flax/chia/wheat bran, 7g brown sugar, 150g oat milk with a banana mixed in
• 2 slices of toasted fresh bread with butter
• 2 crumpets with cream cheese

Lazy weekend morning is always either pancakes, French toast, or stovetop waffles.

Somehow I look forward to breakfast every morning even though I eat the same thing almost every single day for years on end.

We eat two meals a day, the first one about 11AM-1PM.

A typical one would be homemade sourdough toast and scrambled eggs. A more elaborate one would be Eggs Benedict.

Normally I don't eat until lunch. But for fancy, especially if I have overnight guests, I love a baked french toast. Cube a loaf of stale french bread. Best if the cubes get to dry out for a few more hours/a day. Mix your eggs and milk; you need a good amount because the stale bread will suck it up. Optional: add cinnamon and/or cream, brown sugar. Mix in bread and dump the lot into a casserole dish. It should start with fair amount of extra liquid. Other add ins: fresh, canned, or dried fruit (berries or peaches are great). cover and pop into fridge overnight. The next morning into the oven for 45-60 min or until cooked through and crispy on top. Serve with maple syrup and/or whipped cream

Generally a slice of toast with some butter and if not toast, probably just cereal like Weetabix, or Shreddies.

If we fancy something a bit decadent, our go to is Tamago Kake Gohan, a rice, soy and egg porridge style dish. It's a recipe I learned from Kenji and it's become a favourite because it's quick and tasty.

If we fancy something greasy and filthy that'll take 5 years off our life we go for a full Scottish breakfast (Square sausage, bacon, potato (tattie) scone, haggis, black pudding, fried egg, baked beans, fried tomato and fried bread).

Daily is a bowl of clam chowder, fixed up with some added spices and crackers.

A special breakfast depends on what I'm doing. Going out to eat. Lots of good breakfast places around here.

If I'm headed to the coast:

Basically if your restaurant also has a gift shop, it's worth stopping. :)

Chorizo, eggs, cheese, salsa, and fried potato.

I try to eat it without the tortilla because it's healthier (lol) that way. It's such a good comfort food and makes me feel warm inside. It reminds me of visiting my grandparents in Chicago because my grandpa would make it for us.

It's also perfect after a night of drinking too.

Daily it's a light breakfast that's focused on mental energy support: A small amount of unsweetened apple sauce with a few walnuts and cinnamon mixed in, accompanied by coffee with lion's mane mushroom powder and a liquid stevia sweetener mixed in.

Scrambling 2 eggs, topped with Salsa, cheddar or mozzarella cheese or both, toast, milk, coffee

Sometimes just 2 cinnamon rolls and a tall glass of milk and coffee

Milk must be ICE cold

Bread, butter, cheese slice, chocolate milk for me, coffee for others. Maybe an egg, either boiled or fried.

Breakfast is usually pretty spartan in my culture. But we always have a proper lunch, like real food on the plate. No sad "sandwich at my desk" bullshit.

You may get a breakfast basket on your birthday with all kinds of savory and sweet treats. It's awesome, but very much the exception, and not cheap either.

I often skip breakfast and have an early lunch instead.

Typically I’ll have a V8 energy drink, a Kind breakfast bar, and maaaaybe a small vegan protein drink. Special breakfasts are literally anything else.

I used to be a coffee and toast or bagel kind of gal but my life got upheaved in the past few months and I’ve had to adjust. Perhaps I’ll go back at some point but for now this works.

Porridge (aka oatmeal) on most normal days... if I'm out for a big lunch I'll either skip breakfast completely or just have a bit of toast as I'll be hungrier.

Fancy/treat breakfast would either be smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toast or a proper full featured full English breakfast.

Usual: raisin bran with a banana or tinned fish on toast

Fancy/ treat: shakshuka, homemade sausage and egg mcmuffin or the best full English fry up I can make (homemade bacon and beans, fried bread, black pudding, the works!)

I work the night shift 11pm-7am so when it is breakfast time for everyone else I tend be to wanting dinner. If I have a stressful day at work I usually pop by this local restaurant close to my hotel and get a nice burger. they have a habanero ghost pepper cheese that adds just the right amount of spice to a burger.

it was a shit week this week so i went there twice. they also have amazing muffins.

7am is around the time I eat the first meal of my day anyway so I guess it's considered breakfast. On a normal day I just make some rice veggies and a random meat I got from the hotel breakfast.

Richmond Meat-free sausage x 2
Richmond Meat-free bacon rasher x 2
Medium poached egg x 1 (sliced)
In two brown bread 55cal slices, dash of brown sauce and salt to taste.
Cup of filter coffee made with Italian style ground beans.

If I'm in a rush then just a bowl of cocopops.

Typically it’s nothing but a nice glass of ice cold water.

But every Saturday or Sunday we do pancakes which is a nice treat.

Montreal bagel with cream cheese and coffee. O weekends, it's sweet sausage and garlic fried rice topped with fried egg.

Eggs and toast with a cup of coffee and a glass of milk or water if I'm being regular. If I'm on the go, it's some sort of taco. Carne guisada is a bit heavy but I like that when I know I'm going to need it. Otherwise it's going to be something a little lighter like papas con huevo. Occasionally I'll start the morning with a bowl of raisin bran. As for special occasions, I might do pancakes and eggs with some sliced fruit.

I usually eat plain yogurt with some kind of fruit, and I vary the fruit each week so I don't get tired of it. In winter sometimes I'll eat oatmeal instead. I recently discovered that savory oatmeal is really good. I had only had sweet before but adding something simple like salt, pepper and sage turnes out to be really good and I felt like I stayed full longer, probably because it didn't spike my blood sugar the same way.
