Classic Diner Breakfast Recipes
CLASSIC DINER BREAKFAST
The beauty of a diner breakfast is that it's different for everybody, but many consider this the most classic incarnation: eggs, bacon (or sausage) and crisp, salty hash browns. The trick to good hash browns at home: use a very hot, well-seasoned skillet or griddle, since potatoes have a tendency to stick if using stainless steel. Do not worry or fuss over trying to make them too perfect; good hash browns should always look a little unruly - it's part of their charm. Here, the eggs here are prepared sunnyside up, but over easy, scrambled or poached would be great, too.

Steps:
- Grate potatoes on the largest hole on a box grater into a medium bowl. Cover with cold water and drain; repeat once or twice, until water runs nearly clear. Taking small handfuls at a time, squeeze all the water from the potatoes and place in a dry medium bowl. Grate onion on the largest hole on a box grater and toss with potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and let sit while you cook the bacon.
- Cook bacon or sausage in a large cast-iron skillet (at least 10 inches) over medium heat until totally crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
- Drain fat from the skillet into a small bowl (you should have 3 to 4 tablespoons; if you don't, use vegetable oil to make up the difference).
- Again taking small handfuls at a time, squeeze all water from the potato-onion mixture. Heat 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat or vegetable oil in that same skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl together.
- Add potatoes and onions and spread into a thin, even layer. Cook, without moving, until the potatoes are nearly cooked through and browned on one side, about 5 to 8 minutes. Using a spatula, flip sections of the potatoes to crisp on the other side. Add 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat or vegetable oil and remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook, without moving, until potatoes are browned on the other side, about another 5 minutes. Flip once or twice more (you don't have to be so careful here; just kind of stir them around) and continue to cook until most of the bits of potato are golden brown and crisped, about another 4 minutes.
- Transfer potatoes to a plate and set aside while you fry the eggs. Meanwhile, toast the bread.
- Increase heat to medium high and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, rotating skillet occasionally until the whites are cooked through and the yolks are still bright yellow and runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place on 2 plates with hash browns, bacon and toast. Serve with hot sauce (or ketchup, if you wish).

- Monte Cristo Breakfast Casserole. Surprise! Not every breakfast casserole for dinner makes eggs the center of attention. Here, a French-inspired diner sandwich is the inspiration for the layers of salty ham, melty Swiss, tangy mustard, and buttered bread.
- Frico Fried Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches. This 20-minute sandwich is one of our new favorite breakfast-for-dinner recipes. Start by making an egg sandwiched between crispy cheese rounds (aka fricos), then sandwich that between bread.
- Steak, Egg, and Goat Cheese Pizza. The "put an egg on it" trend is here to stay, and we're happy about it. This better-than-delivery recipe is proof of how delicious breakfast-for-dinner can be.
- Bacon and Egg Spaghetti. Bacon and eggs meet spaghetti in this breakfast-for-dinner pasta dish. You can cook the eggs to any doneness you'd like, but if you leave the yolks a little runny, they become an excellent "sauce" for the pasta.
- Cheesy Egg Breakfast Sliders. Slide into home after a long day with this easy breakfast for dinner that you can prep the night before. Assemble the ham and cheese mini sandwiches on Hawaiian sweet rolls and cover with an egg custard mixture.
- Breakfast Quesadillas. Give your breakfast food for dinner menu some South-of-the-Border inspiration. This five-ingredient recipe is ideal when your dinner crew (maybe two to four people) is on the smaller side.
- Pork and Hot Pepper Hash. This hash recipe is hearty enough to make the leap from a.m. to p.m. Ground pork, a full pound of potatoes, and sunny-side-up eggs keep you satisfied, while poblano and jalapeño peppers will handle your cravings for big, bold flavors.
- Mashed Potato-Egg Casserole. One part mashed potatoes plus one part breakfast casserole equals a family favorite breakfast-for-dinner recipe.
- Poached Egg Breakfast Bowls. Poached eggs often make their way into our healthy breakfast recipes because they require no fat to prepare. Add some beans and kale, and not only is this breakfast bowl healthy, but it's also hearty enough for evenings, too.
- Crab and Asparagus Frittata. This recipe shows you how to make a frittata—and how to make just 6 ounces of crabmeat serve six. With vibrant asparagus, roasted red peppers, and tarragon, in addition to the crabmeat, this might be our most elegant breakfast-for-dinner idea.

- Ranch and Bacon Deviled Eggs. Deviled eggs are a classic Southern delicacy. But have you ever had them with ranch dressing and bacon? You'll never go back to the standard recipe again.
- Old-Fashioned Donuts. If you've never made donuts at home before, this recipe is a new twist in and of itself. It's easier to make this treat at home than you think!
- Biscuits with Homemade Buttermilk. If you grew up in a Southern household, biscuits and gravy might have been a breakfast staple. But when we're pressed for time, it's easy to fall into the trap of buying refrigerated biscuit dough.
- Breakfast Hash with Sweet Potato and Chicken Sausage. Any breakfast hash is delicious, but not all of them are good for you. Skip the salty diner version and use our easy recipe, which calls for fresh ingredients like sweet potatoes and bell pepper.
- Shrimp and Grits. Shrimp and grits are a Southern brunch staple. Our recipe adds scallions and cayenne pepper to the mix for an extra kick. Get our recipe for Shrimp and Grits.
- Stuffed French Toast. If you've only had stuffed French toast at chain restaurants, allow us to show you how great the dish can be. With ricotta cheese and chopped almonds, this dish is just as decadent as what you'd find at a restaurant, but it's way better for you.
- Banana Bread. Banana bread is delicious, but it can be heavy and fat-laden, especially if it's store-bought. Our recipe uses Greek yogurt for a loaf that's fluffy and moist.
- Zucchini Bread with Chocolate Chips. Everything tastes better when chocolate chips are involved. That's just a fact. Get our recipe for Zucchini Bread.
- Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Pop-Tarts. OK, Pop-Tarts aren't exactly a classic breakfast recipe, but they're certainly a breakfast classic. Try making homemade toaster pastries with this easy (and vegan) recipe.
- Maple Cinnamon Applesauce. Applesauce is the perfect side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. But if you don't love the store-bought stuff, try this recipe, which incorporates maple syrup for even more flavor.
