We know not to skip the most important meal of the day. But for those who aren’t into French toast or cereal, a list of savory breakfast ideas will get you through the mornings ahead. It can be tempting to grab a bagel or premade egg muffins from a cafe on the way to work, but making your own weekday breakfast can be as simple as smashing a couple of boiled eggs on an English muffin (adding kimchi, ricotta, or even just a drizzle of grassy extra-virgin olive oil takes a few more seconds but ups the favor immensely.)
What’s more, tons of brunch favorites like a cheesy frittata or a greens-packed breakfast bowl can be made ahead of time and reheated or quickly assembled while you’re sipping that first cup of coffee. Not a fan of eggs? Try dressed-up cottage cheese and savory granola sprinkled over salad, or experiment with vegan breakfast recipes using a tofu scramble or warm bowl of khichari. Tomorrow morning will be there before you know it, so here are our favorite savory breakfast ideas—no waffles allowed!

Jammy Eggs and Feta Flatbreads With Herbs
A list of savory breakfast recipes certainly includes jammy eggs. These are torn and folded into a rough and tumble egg salad with creamy feta and lemon juice. Spoon it over your favorite flatbread (naan or pita are excellent here) and top with tender herbs.

This lentil dosa batter can be made and stashed in the fridge for about a week. Just slick a pan with oil or ghee and ladle in some of the ginger-chile-laced mixture for a fresh savory crepe any morning.
