Bring your breakfast bagel to the dinner table with this pretty smoked salmon salad. And for even more flavor, why not sprinkle our everything bagel spice on top?

Savory Oatmeal with a Basted Egg
Oatmeal can be so much more than just sweet. Add savory flavors—like the olive oil and Gruyère in this dish—and top with a fried egg for a simple but delicious dinner.

Breakfast Banh Mi Sandwich with Eggs and Sausage
Sambal hot sauce, avocado, mint, and cilantro bring this breakfast sandwich into Vietnamese territory. The recipe calls for homemade sausage, but you can easily use your favorite patties.

Shishito Pepper Potato Hash with Fried Eggs
Shishito peppers give this hash a nice spicy kick; if you can't find them, use poblanos, or pimentos de Padron. Bulk it up for dinner by mixing in sweet potatoes with the red new potatoes.

Shakshuka
Instead of tomato soup, try a bowl of this traditional Middle Eastern breakfast dish, an egg-topped stew of tomatoes, peppers, and spices.

Breakfast Pizzas
We're okay with putting an egg on just about everything. Top your pizza with one (and some bacon, perhaps), and you're set for breakfast or dinner.

Avocado Pound Cake
This combination of avocado and cornmeal may be meant for a breakfast treat, but we'd serve it alongside a big bowl of chili.

Egg, Kale, and Tomato Breakfast Wraps with Hummus
A breakfast burrito works just well as a healthy dinner. This one features kale, tomato, and hummus, but it's customizable based on whatever's in your fridge.

Baked Eggs with Merguez Sausage, Tomatoes, and Smoky Paprika
This baked egg prep is an easy way to get dinner on the table fast. Your egg-filled ramekins bake in 15 minutes, just enough time to whip up a side salad (or have an after-work drink).

Steak and Eggs Rancheros
This spin on the traditional steak-and-egg breakfast bulks up the protein with a filling combo of steak, lentils, and an egg.

Chickpea Pancakes With Leeks, Squash, and Yogurt
Potato pancakes are great, but we're more interested in this chickpea version. Topped with spiced yogurt, it's a great side for roasted meats.

Caramelized Garlic, Spinach, and Cheddar Tart
We like to call this empty-out-the fridge dinner. Toss your leftover veggies in a tart shell, top with eggs and cream, and bake. Extra points for braiding your crust (but totally not necessary.)

The Meatless Breakfast Hash of Your Dreams

Big stacks of fluffy pancakes and trays full of crisp bacon are great. But working in a vegetable or two isn't a bad idea, especially as part of a satisfying breakfast hash.
