What do you eat for a typical breakfast?

If I feel like making myself a big breakfast it usually consists of the following if on hand. 4-6 pieces of American bacon, 2 slices of toast/bagel or English muffin, hash browns, no less than 4 over medium fried eggs. If I'm feeling real ambitious I may even add pancakes or oatmeal to that. To drink coffee, sometimes orange juice.

Lots of times I'm too lazy to cook so Ill grab something out like a breakfast sandwich. Oddly enough the Sunoco gas station near my house has food made to order (made in front of you) which is really good and cheap. A breakfast sandwich on a bagel with bacon, sausage, ham, cheese, onion, jalapeno, & condiments is about $5-$6. Real filling. They also have burgers, sandwiches etc. You order from a touch screen and can get what ever you want as long as they have the ingredients. If there's one in your area I highly recommend trying them.

Typical breakfast for me is (lots of) coffee with OJ or piece of fruit, along with either
- hardboiled egg and a slice of quickbread (eg, banana bread, pumpkin bread,etc); or
- breakfast tacos (egg plus bacon, sausage, potato, hash, or whatever, on corn or flour tortilla, depending); or
- french toast, and bacon or sausage.
Those are probably my three main go-tos, but I tend to mix it up quite a bit. Really depends what's in the fridge and how much time I've got in the morning!
 



Due to an odd chain of events, we’ve wound up with an unusually large amount of Popeye’s fried chicken in our fridge. So I’ve had leftover fried chicken for breakfast or brunch for 2 days now. But not necessarily as just warmed up crispy yardbird.

Instead, I took one breast and deboned it. While I was doing so, I put a piece of thick artisan pita from a local farmer in the toaster oven to give it a bit of color hand warmth. When it came out, I topped it with a drizzle of katsup, a drizzle of yellow mustard, and a helping of dill relish. Meanwhile the shredded chicken got 30 seconds in the microwave.

That warmed chicken was piled up atop the prepped pita, which was then folded like an oversized taco.

I forgot to add the romaine or baby spinach I had intended to put on it, but it was still tasty. It was at least as good as most fried chicken sandwiches I’ve had (but for my faves).

That's called Sunday morning after a bender here. Chicken and pita is like bacon and eggs or something.
 

I tend to just drink some chocolate milk and leave it at that, and then finish the rest of the half-gallon carton lunch for lunch. It's quicker than having something proper.
 

It goes against the typical part in the thread title, but @Blackrat mentioned Karelian pies above, and I was going through my DC trip pictures for the happy hour thread. Earlier this summer when air travel seemed less absurd, was on a business trip there and stopped at Mikko in DC for breakfast.

(Cinnamon) pulla bread French toast, with a follow up of a Karelian pasty and a slice of lingonberry bread. Based on the pasty and some other things that week I'm wondering if "savory" just isn't my style. French toast definitely is, as are breads. (Going to make some, not nearly that good, French toast of my own as soon as I'm done with this post.) Anyway, if you're in DC and need breakfast or brunch, I'd check it out.

I think most of finnish cuisine might be a bit of an acquired taste thing, but I am amazed you can get karelian pies out there! Very cool!
