True breakfast food lovers don’t see the time of day as a factor when it comes to deciding what to eat. If you’d choose eggs over pasta any day and nothing is more comforting to you than a stack of fluffy pancakes, soft-scrambled cheesy eggs or creamy and crunchy eggs benedict, you’re a breakfast food fan for life. There’s no reason you need to limit your favorites to the early hours. We’ve got some inspiration for you when it comes to getting creative with breakfast foods for dinner.

1. Breakfast Pizza

Whoever thought to put eggs on a pizza was pure genius. There’s no shortage of savory and sweet options when it comes to a breakfast pizza. On the elaborate side, a smoked salmon and avocado pizza will cram all of your favorite breakfast foods and omega-3s into one delicious spot. For the indulgent breakfast food lover, an eggs Benedict pizza is a no-brainer with mozzarella, fontina, prosciutto, poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce. For dessert, a mixed berry, lemon, mascarpone and cinnamon-sugar pizza will put all of your favorite pancake toppings on top of crunchy pizza dough.

2. Savory Pancake Casserole

Yes, you heard us. Go all in with a savory baked pancake dish that brings together parmesan pancake dough with onions, rainbow chard, sun-dried tomatoes and fresh thyme. This breakfast-for-dinner recipe calls for a rainbow chard salad on the side with strawberries, tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice and black pepper. You’ll satisfy your carb cravings and veggie needs all at once.

3. Tomato And Scrambled Egg Grilled Cheese

Grilled cheese is one of our favorite dinner foods when we’ve had a day and need something that’s going to bring us back to some kind of equilibrium. Instead of chicken or turkey in your grilled cheese, go for roasted tomatoes and scrambled eggs. You’ll get double the protein between the cheese and the eggs so you won’t even have to worry about meat. Crack a little sea salt and sprinkle some black pepper and red pepper flakes in there and you’ll be golden.

4. Eggs Benedict Burger

To all of the eggs Benedict devotees, keep in mind that eggs, ham and Hollandaise can be transported anywhere. You name the vehicle and it’ll probably work. For the meat eaters, try an eggs Benedict burger with chives, gruyere, garlic, red onion, Hollandaise, eggs, leafy greens and an English muffin. The non-meat eaters can make a killer burger with any kind of plant-based meat or hearty vegetable in its place.

5. Cheddar And Scallion Savory Pancakes

We love scallion pancakes. Especially when they’re the fluffy kind. These cheddar and scallion pancakes are a savory version of your favorite Sunday morning short stack. You’ll want to top them off with a little Greek yogurt, some red pepper flakes and more scallions. Once you go savory you may never go back.

6. Rosemary And Shallot Waffles With Cremini Mushrooms

Okay, we’re obviously on board with maple syrup and whipped cream on our waffles, but savory waffles are a whole new world. These rosemary and shallot waffles are made with buttermilk and smothered in a cremini mushroom sauce with garlic, Marsala wine, parsley, thyme and cream. There’s nothing light about it. You’ll need a waffle iron for these savory treats.

7. Breakfast-Stuffed Acorn Squash

We’re always on board for a stuffed veggie, especially when that veggie is stuffed with our favorite breakfast foods. This acorn squash is stuffed with turkey breakfast sausage, onion, garlic and eggs. You’ll bake the eggs right into the squash just until the whites solidify but the yolks inside stay runny. It’ll taste just as good with mushrooms, peppers or other vegetables in place of the breakfast sausage if you don’t eat meat.
