Whether you’re a savory breakfast lover or lean toward something sweet, there’s something here for everyone!
Let’s dive into these breakfast plate ideas that are fueling my mornings lately!
1. EGG & CHICKEN SAUSAGE BURRITO WITH SALSA + WATERMELON
Meet the ultimate breakfast burrito! This one is loaded with scrambled eggs, sautéed spinach, onion, tomatoes, avocado, and chicken sausage all wrapped in a crispy golden tortilla. Paired with a side of fresh watermelon and a scoop of smoky salsa, this breakfast is high in protein and flavor. The balance of sweet, savory, and spicy makes it a go-to when I need something satisfying and energizing.
What you need:
- 2 eggs, scrambled
- 1 chicken sausage, chopped
- 2–3 avocado slices
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced tomato
- 1 tortilla
- Shredded cheese (optional)
- Salsa + watermelon on the side
How to make it:
Sauté chopped sausage with diced onions and tomatoes until soft and caramelized. Add scrambled eggs and cook together. Warm your tortilla, then layer in the egg mixture, avocado, and cheese (if using). Fold and crisp in a skillet. Serve with salsa and fresh watermelon chunks for a refreshing side.
Perfect for: Meal prep mornings or a post-workout breakfast.
2. SMOKED SALMON & AVOCADO CROISSANT WITH CANTALOUPE + EGG
This is what I call my café-style breakfast at home. A buttery croissant is filled with avocado, smoked salmon, and everything bagel seasoning. Served with a sunny-side-up egg and a bowl of sweet cantaloupe chunks, it’s basically a brunch plate that takes minimal effort.
What you need:
- 2 slices sourdough
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 egg, fried
- 2 slices smoked salmon
- Chili flakes + everything bagel seasoning
How to make it:
Toast bread. Mash avocado onto each slice. Top one with a fried egg and chili flakes, and the other with smoked salmon and seasoning.
3. SPINACH + AVOCADO EGG WRAP WITH STRAWBERRIES
This wrap is my version of a breakfast quesadilla, but healthier! A tortilla is packed with fluffy eggs, wilted spinach, creamy avocado, and melted cheese, then crisped up to golden perfection on the outside. I always add a side of sliced strawberries for a fresh and juicy finish.
What you need:
- 2 eggs
- 1 whole wheat tortilla
- Handful of spinach
- Sliced avocado
- Shredded cheese
- Strawberries on the side
How to make it:
Scramble eggs with spinach. Fill the tortilla with eggs, avocado, and cheese. Fold in half and cook until golden. Slice and serve with fresh strawberries.
Why I love it: It’s quick, hearty, and toddler-approved.
4. WAFFLES WITH GRANOLA + GRAPEFRUIT
This is my sweet-but-healthy breakfast choice. I made these waffles ahead of time & leave them in the fridge for the next morning. They can also be frozen and popped into the toaster to warm up the next day! I drizzled these waffles with with creamy almond butter, then topped with a handful of crunchy granola. On the side: juicy pink grapefruit slices for a refreshing citrus contrast.

5. EGG & SALMON AVOCADO TOASTS

6. AVOCADO TOASTS WITH FRIED EGGS & TURKEY BREAKFAST LINKS

What you need:
- 2 slices whole grain bread
