E-Z Drop Biscuits

Adding eggs to biscuits doesn't do much, so you can rest assured that an egg-free recipe like our E-Z Drop Biscuits gets its flavor and crumb from other ingredients.

Classic Hash Browns

Shredding potatoes instead of cubing them increases the surface area that browns, which results in much crispier hash browns.

Breakfast Sausage

Round out biscuits or hash browns with hearty home-style Breakfast Sausage. These pork patties have loads of perfect five-star reviews.

Chickpea Omelette

"Chickpea flour and lightly sautéd vegetables recreate an eggless frittata or open-faced omelette," Allrecipes Allstar Buckwheat Queen says. "A delicious — not too dense, not too fluffy — must-have on your brunch table. Using black salt gives the dish a slight egg flavor."

Keep your family full with this simple breakfast. "I omitted the onion and bell pepper in this recipe, only because the frozen hash browns I had in the freezer already had them in it. But I did kick it up a little bit with garlic powder," Allstar Melissa Goff says. "It was easy to make. I served it wrapped in small flour tortillas for my kids and added shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa for the ones that wanted theirs deluxe."

BLT

Bacon, egg, and cheese may fill the average breakfast sandwich, but everyone knows bacon is the best part. Enjoy it in a BLT instead.
