Want to add a little more fun to your weekly menu? Just wait until you see my list of breakfast for dinner ideas! I have gathered different recipes like a sophisticated croque madame to a hearty breakfast pizza and a light spinach and mushroom omelet to indulgent chicken and waffles, this list has something for everyone. After all, these foods are too delicious to only be enjoyed in the mornings!

 

Sometimes when I want to mix up our dinner menu, I make breakfast for dinner. No need to save the pancakes and eggs for just breakfast, they also make a tasty dinner.

It can get crazy during the week with meetings, after school activities, and just being tired from work. That’s when a delicious, comforting breakfast dinner, or “brinner”, as my kids like to call it, comes into play.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And thanks to this collection of delicious breakfast for dinner recipes, you don’t have to wake up early just to enjoy it!

Some of my favorite breakfast for dinner ideas

These are some of my very favorite recipes that work for breakfast or dinner.

Bisquick Breakfast Casserole

Eggs, breakfast sausage, hash browns, a few veggies, and plenty of cheese — how can you go wrong with those ingredients? The Bisquick baking mix is the secret behind this easy recipe that’s great for feeding a crowd. 

Steak Egg And Cheese Bagel Sandwich

If you were a fan of the McDonald’s steak, egg, and cheese bagel back when it was still on the menu, then you’re going to go crazy for this copycat recipe! Treat yourself to fluffy eggs, steak, grilled onions, and plenty of melty cheese.

Eggs Benedict Casserole

No egg poaching necessary! English muffins soak in an egg mixture with Canadian bacon for at least 1 hour to absorb all those amazing flavors. After that, simply bake and top with an easy Hollandaise sauce.

Sausage Pinwheels

Talk about a crowd pleaser! Ground sausage and cream cheese with a little garlic powder and green onion create the mouthwatering filling that’s spread over crescent roll dough. Roll up, bake to golden perfection, and dig in!

Egg And Sausage Bowls

Watching your carbs? Sausage, eggs, mushrooms, spinach, and cheese make a delicious keto-friendly base. Feel free to top your bowl with chopped avocado, diced tomatoes, hot sauce, or even sour cream!

Farmer’s Casserole

Named so because all of the ingredients could be found “on the farm,” this hearty casserole is sure to satisfy! Layers of diced ham, veggies, shredded hash brown, eggs, and plenty of cheese will have everyone reaching for seconds.

Breakfast Burrito

Fluffy scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla is breakfast for dinner perfection. You can also swap out sausage with bacon, add your favorite veggies, or customize however else you like!

Breakfast Pizza

Start with a simple pizza dough or a premade crust from the store, then top with all the savory breakfast classics! Enjoy scrambled eggs, bacon, and plenty of cheese with every slice.

Breakfast Quesadilla

Quesadillas are always a win, and this recipe makes it easy to customize each one with your fillings of choice! You can enjoy your quesadilla fully loaded while whipping up a few kid-friendly versions in just a few minutes. And if you have leftover chicken, be sure to try this easy copycat taco bell chicken quesadilla.
