30 Easy Breakfast for Dinner Recipes to Cook Tonight

Tater Tot Casserole With Sausage

You can't go wrong with crispy potatoes in a breakfast-for-dinner recipe. In this one, the potato tots form the bed of a hardy, ultra-comforting breakfast casserole.

This dish requires just 15 minutes of hands-on time—to cook the sausage and onions and combine the egg mixture. If your little ones have sensitive palates, opt for mild sausage and leave off the jalapeños at the end (or serve on the side for diners who want that heat).

French Toast Casserole With Pecans and Raisins

French toast is a classic breakfast recipe that is also delicious for dinner. Serve this casserole version with bacon, sausage, or roasted potatoes—and fruit—for a well-rounded meal. This recipe is easy to prep ahead of time by soaking the bread and custard before layering and baking.

Italian Baked Eggs With Tomato Sauce

These eggs are cooked in tomato sauce and are ready in just 25 minutes—perfect for a casual weeknight dinner. Our version of this classic dish features spicy Italian turkey sausage for an extra dose of low-fat protein.

Sunny-Side-Up Sheet Pan Breakfast

Your sheet pan dinner just got a glow-up. Sunny-side eggs are perfectly cooked alongside veggies and prosciutto for an easy-to-make meal that will likely become part of your weeknight dinner lineup. Serve with hot sauce, crumbly cheese, or fresh herbs for a fun customization experience when plating.

Brown Butter Waffles

Drenched in warm syrup, covered with berries and whipped cream, or even as a base for fried chicken or chicken nuggets, these waffles are perfection. The brown butter adds some nuttiness and sophistication to waffle night. The key is whipping the egg whites into stiff peaks for the ultimate fluffy waffle that can be enjoyed at any time.

Smoked Salmon Toast

This recipe is perfect for nights you don't want to preheat the oven. Salmon is already a dinner food, and using a store-bought package of smoked salmon helps to take away a few prep steps. Avocado adds richness to this recipe, which can be made on all types of bread and adorned with seeds or even chili crisp for some more crunch and flavor.

Zucchini Frittata With Parmesan

A frittata, or crustless quiche, may be the quintessential breakfast-for-dinner dish. At breakfast, you can eat it with potatoes or toast, and at dinner, you can utilize leftover ingredients for the filling and then finish it off with a side salad or chilled grain salad.

Play around with the cheese in this recipe if you make it more than once. A funky fontina might be fun in place of Parmesan. It all comes together quickly, too, so you can let it bake while everyone is relaxing after a long day.

Brown Rice Congee with Kimchee, Scallions, and 7-Minute Eggs

Then, let everyone top the tacos as they see fit. Salsa, tangy Monterey Jack cheese, cilantro, and avocado are our recommendations, but you can't go wrong with a DIY approach when topping breakfast tacos.

Cacio e Pepe Dutch Baby Pancake

There's nothing baby about this enormous pancake, which takes inspiration from the cacio e pepe pasta dish for the ultimate peppery, cheesy, and savory flavor. This recipe practically cooks itself, freeing you up to do whatever you need to do before indulging.

Skillet Eggs in Enchilada Sauce

Similar to shakshuka, these eggs cooked in enchilada sauce offer a spicy, tangy, one-pot meal that's excellent with a side of tortillas or tortilla chips. Adjust the recipe for how many people you want to serve, or make it in small skillets for a restaurant-worthy presentation.

Mushroom and Egg White Omelet

An omelet is a filling breakfast dish that is equally at home for dinner. The almost effortless preparation makes them ideal when pressed for time, and their versatility makes them great for eating regularly—without getting bored. You can use any omelet-worthy ingredients you have on hand, from sausage to spinach to bacon or bell peppers.

We like the simplicity of this recipe, though, because you can cook one for each person in just a few minutes. Cook all the mushrooms and scallions at once, then cook the egg base. For a full meal, serve with home fries or hash browns.

A twist on Spain's classic tortilla española recipe, this frittata-like dish is delicious any time of day.

Serve it with toast and fruit or, as shown, with a green salad and roll.
