Well I’m Asian and don’t really do the typical American breakfast. I just eat whatever, leftovers maybe. I’ll have coffee over tea though, so that’s pretty American of me lol

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

You and millions of other Americans eating leftovers for breakfast. Since the Mayflower for sure, and probably for centuries before that. Although they probably didn't have the Breakfast of Champions, cold leftover pizza.

My kids and I typically have a bowl of cold milk and cereal, and (separately) a chicken egg cooked in one of several ways.

On the weekends I cook eggs in a different style for each member of the family, bacon or sausage, pancakes or waffles or crepes with jam/maple syrup.

I have to have a protein focused breakfast, so usually some form of eggs. I have a lot of crustless quiches, scrambled eggs, omelets. Good thing I like them so much!

If I ever develop an egg allergy I am completely fucked lol

AuDHD has me going in phases.

For a while it was rice with a barely fried egg. Optional soy sauce or msg.

Then it was one slice of bacon and a fried egg.

Then it was half a bagel, cream cheese, and a slice of bacon.

Then Greek yogurt with some PB2. Sometimes with whatever fruit I had around.

Sometimes I go for salami and apple slices. Pepper jack cheese too.

I am now on a kick of these granola+peanut butter bar things either dipped in hot cocoa or hot coffee.

A big heaping bowl of FASCISM!

No, actually, usually just a bowl of cereal. Sometimes eggs and/or bacon as well on weekends when there's more time.

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 7 points 1 month ago

I have to eat really quick on workdays, so I don't always get anything, but usually cereal, or I'll spread applesauce and cinnamon on homemade bread if I've prepared some the last few days. Or recently pan dulce if I happen to have bought any recently because there's a bakery nearby that ive discovered sells it fresh for quite cheap.

My usual breakfast is:

  • 3 slices lean breakfast ham
  • 2 eggs over-easy
  • 1/2 avocado, mashed, with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and Japanese 7 Spice
  • 300g strawberries
  • Yorkshire gold tea
  • Water

I toss that ham in the frying pan, brown it and put it on the plate, top it with the avocado mash, and then top that with the eggs. Strawbs go on the side.

It's 478 calories and has a decent amount of protein (28g) to start my day, plus 10g fiber, and it gives me good energy for my workout. Plus I never get tired of it!

Banana pancakes - just an egg and banana mixed together into a batter and fried for a few minutes. I throw on some frozen strawberries usually and its quite good

[-] stinerman@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

I almost never eat breakfast. Maybe a few times per year. I usually don't get up early enough.

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 6 points 1 month ago

Usually coffee. Plunger, at least a pot. Otherwise it's pretty evenly split between vegemite toast, taiwanese green onion pancakes from trader joe's, or maybe a bagel, granola, shakshuka or left over takeout.

I grew up outside the country though, hence not being a fan of us style drip coffee which always taste like hay to me.

Black coffee. Nicotine lozenges.

[-] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 month ago

I make a warm mug of Ovaltine®. But with coffee instead of milk. It's... effective.

[-] CubitOom@infosec.pub 6 points 1 month ago

Twin Peaks (1990) gives one a good sense of American breakfasts.

[-] SnotFlickerman 6 points 1 month ago

Don't forget pie and coffee.

[-] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Coffee and water. Used to have a banana too, but they self destruct my digestion now.

[-] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Breakfast sausage and eggs usually and depending on my mood coffee or hot tea. Sometimes I cook potatoes with it usually in the form or hash browns or using left over mash potatoes to make potato cakes. I usually vary sausage and eggs to either an omelette, burrito, if I have peppers on hand or a sandwich when I want cheese with it, else usually sausage patties and eggs over easy or sunny side up. If there's left over rice, egg fried rice with sausage.

Pot of coffee, a bowl of dried figs, and a few pieces of dark chocolate.

Then I fire a heater at a porcelain target fast enough to launch a small payload into orbit.

Fascism. They looove the taste of boot leather.

Man, I miss my American, pheep. Hope he's doing fine.

[-] IHeartBadCode@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

A glass of water. About an hour later a cup of coffee. For lunch I usually have a slice of bread toasted, with butter and jam followed by a cup of coffee.

This pretty much every day.

[-] dan1101@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I have nothing usually.

On the rare occasions I eat breakfast at home I eat cereal.

On the rare occasions I eat breakfast out I eat sausage gravy or classic bacon and eggs.

[-] JakoJakoJako13@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago

Eggs and Bacon if I'm cooking. Scrapple if I'm feeling extra PA. If I'm not cooking and I grab something quick it's usually a breakfast sandwich from somewhere.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 5 points 1 month ago

Unflavored shredded wheat cereal with frozen berries, toast or vegetarian sausage, and quality tea.

In summer, I'll sometimes swap the tea for a smoothie if it's been hot.

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Typically 3 eggs, overnight oats with protein powder, and a mandarin orange. Not a body builder or anything, just a ~~large~~ tall person who eats mostly vegetarian so if I want to eat healthy I have to get protein in where I can.

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Coffee, peanut butter sandwich, and a banana (shout out gwen Stefani)

[-] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Coffee plus one of the following (it changes, depending on my whim and ingredient availability):

  • Homemade egg bites (egg, sausage or meatless sausage, peppers, onion, spinach, cheese)
  • Cereal
  • Greek yogurt mixed with a dollop of jam
  • Breakfast sandwiches (homemade, prepackaged, or from a local restaurant)
  • Biscuits and gravy

Cold leftover pizza.

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Metamucil, coffee, and either a fried egg on toast or oatmeal with maple syrup. I grew up in BC so I may not be the best sample.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

You're the single best sample of you! I celebrate you!

[-] twice_hatch@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago

Puffed corn cereal sweetened with corn sugar

[-] platypode@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Either a large piece of buttered toast or a bowl of yogurt.

[-] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Coffee and on sundays it’s coffee……. With croissants
