What would be your favorite breakfast in a restaurant and what would be your favorite breakfast from home, using your cooking skills and kitchen equipment?

A breakfast clubhouse from Cora.

Three soft boiled eggs on buttered bread soldiers Is my favorites.

My beverage of choice would be prune juice, and a glass of cool water.

I’m a simple person. Corned beef hash with 2 eggs over easy on top, all on top of hash brown potatoes. I mix it all together and have at it! I do like some sourdough toast on the side because I like to shovel my hash mixture onto it, bite by bite. Gotta have some coffee with cream to wash it down. Sometimes I like to have a glass of orange juice as well.

I am a good cook so I can do this at home, though to be honest it is a lot of work doing the hash from scratch as well as getting the hash browns just so.

@seawulf575 My mom used to make hash browns using a baked potato or two from the night before, skinned and sauteed with some paprika and potatoes and onions (like what is often served in diners. I also like the shredded kind which I see in the frozen section of the store. What kind do you make?

For restaurant breakfast I usually get Eggs Benedict with hash browns. It is too difficult to make at home.
At home I will usually have a bowl of cereal: 30 grams of Bran buds, 20 grams of oats, and 15–20 grams of Life cereal with a few blueberries if we have them.
If I cook something it will be rice so I can make a breakfast sushi roll with scrambled eggs and bacon.

French toast with cinnamon.

We don’t eat until we’ve been up four or five or six hours and that is usually our main meal…..call it what you want. It might be omelets or chicken with dumplings, whatever our mood.

Pancakes or waffles and bacon in a restaurant. Or bacon, home fries and toast because I don’t eat cooked eggs.

Home it’s usually a piece of toast and tea or sometimes yogurt and blueberries.

@jca2 Lately I have been cubing the potatoes into very small cubes and then frying them up in a butter/olive oil mixture with onions and garlic, salt and pepper. I end up with every cube having crispy sides and yet still being tender. But it takes almost as long to cube them as it does to cook them!

Boiled Bockwurst with Baked Breadroll and a generous amount of Bautz’ner Mustard.

Bacon and eggs, coffee by.

Favourite restaurant breakfast would be the full English or possibly the sevens deadly sins at Simpson’s in the Strand (it ever reopens post covid). This was a place that opened in 1828 and didn’t mess with the menu since then.

At home it would be eggs Benedict if I can be bothered to poach eggs. Otherwise scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on brioche toast.

@Lightlyseared I ate at Simpson’s once pre-pandemic.

My favorite breakfast in a restaurant would be French toast. If I were where there’s a choice, I’d take a little oatmeal with walnuts and brown sugar on it, and a slice of French toast, and maybe some orange juice. I never have OJ at home.

At home, if I were going to indulge myself, I’d take out the waffle maker and make a waffle or two with blueberries in it. I haven’t done that in years. My typical is yogurt with walnuts and fruit. My indulgent would be scrambled eggs and toast or a fried egg on a toasted English muffin.

In my comment above about my mother’s hash browns, I meant “peppers and onions” not “potatoes and onions.”

Bacon and eggs/biscuits and gravy. At home or not. Can’t beat it with a stick. With orange juice or black coffee.

@jca2 Pepper in potatoes are good too, but my wife has them staying with her if I put them in.

@NoMore I forgot to put bacon on my restaurant breakfast choice. A slice or two would be good. I don’t make bacon at home – too much splattering grease.

@seawulf575 I like the peppers with the potatoes – gives it a little bit of sweetness now and then. I never make hashbrowns at home so I have to take what I get in a restaurant or at a catered event.

@janbb Did you like it? I used to love it. It was one of those places in London that never changed, like Sweetings, that seemed completely unaffected by time.

@Lightlyseared It was fun.

There is a recent video on YouTube by epicurious with some YouTube chef making his favourite “breakfast sandwich”, and all that fucker made was a literal hamburger.

Restaurant – - Irish Breakfast, with three kinds of sausage, couple pieces of bacon, two eggs scrambled, tomatoes and baked beans . . . black coffee and a water.

Home – - omelet with mushrooms, cheese and salsa . . . black coffee and water

When I’m out at a restaurant my favorite breakfast is an omelet with green pepper, mushrooms, and cheese with bacon on the side and a dry toasted English muffin. A few strawberries on the plate is good if I am only drinking water, but not any other fruit is really appealing to me in the morning. To drink I like water or fresh squeezed orange juice. If it is a cold morning I might have some tea if they have a classic black decaf. Most restaurants don’t have it. It can be Liptions, it does not need to be a fancy brand. English Breakfast decaf is good too. I don’t want Earl Grey or Orange Pekoe or herbal or some other flavor.

At home it’s a toss-up between French toast or an omelet. The French toast is made with regular white bread and eggs (no milk added). Cook the egg-soaked bread in a pan in minimal butter or oil so it is not soaked into the bread and well cooked through at that. Bacon on the side. Serve with real maple syrup or white sugar.

On rare occasion I make a version of the Monte Cristo using the French toast and making it into a sandwich with melted Swiss and thick sliced good quality ham. The Monte Cristo I eat with some maple syrup if I want a sweet touch, or sometimes without.

To drink at home I like hot chocolate and a glass of water or fresh squeezed orange juice and water. If the juice is from concentrate I prefer grapefruit juice.

Note: My favorite is to use whole eggs, but for health reasons I make almost everything with only egg whites (not the same, but I am used to it) or sometimes one whole egg and two whites.

Typically, I don’t crave sweet in the morning, so very little fruit and very little syrup if any at all. French toast is better for me at a late breakfast or brunch.

If I am close to home, Steak and Eggs. Coffee. sour dough toast with strawberry jam.
If I am on the road, Oatmeal with lots of milk, brown sugar and raisins. Maybe a waffle with eggs over easy and crispy bacon, coffee.
What’s the difference? If I eat steak and eggs, I will poop. I don’t want to do that in public restrooms.

ohmigosh! I truly can’t decide! Breakfast is my favorite meal and I’d eat breakfast items all day if only I felt like cooking them.

One thing I do like any time of day is something my mom used to make probably got it from The Depression.

It’s a white sauce with hard boiled eggs chopped into it, then served over buttered toast. mmmmm Some people put things like meat or cheese in it also, but to me that just ruins it.

4 eggs OE, a slice of ham, hash browns, WW toast, and a glass of milk. And coffee.

I dream of a heart-healthy breakfast until that very second when I open my mouth and order instead the plate with greasy sausages on it. Coffee. Black. At home, fried eggs, always at least three of them.

Out: Omelet w veggies. Or chicken fried steak rarely. Or quiche.
Home: Coffee. If cooking for others usually biscuits and gravy, or bacon, eggs w toast.

Fluffy pancakes and crispy hash browns, while at a restaurant. French toast if at home.

First Watch has great potatoes by the way, if you go there for breakfast. Full disclosure my husband works for FW, but I’m not saying everything is spectacular, but the potatoes are great.
