I first stumbled upon a version of eggs in tomato sauce was in Chrissy Teigen's book Cravings, which inspired this recipe. I was an immediate fan, I love the creamy eggs against the bright tomato sauce. I found that at the time I did not go back and try to recreate it until recently. I am working on gathering my favorite recipes from that book into a post, and in the process I am adapting ones that I feel could use a bit of improvement and I finally feel ready for it. I also would be remiss to say that simply cooking an egg or two in extra tomato sauce, if you have any leftover is always a good idea. Below I simply cooked an egg in the sauce and topped it with dry oregano. My version requires a bit more effort, but I believe it is still completely worth it. Saucy EggsLet me know if you have tried eggs in tomato sauce and if you enjoy it as much as I do.

Sometimes, I find breakfast to be the hardest meal to plan. In part, I struggle with knowing if I will even be hungry enough for breakfast. I also don't want to plan anything complicated if I want to eat and get out the door quickly. I typically go in breakfast ruts where I want the same thing everyday for a while, but eventually I get bored and look for a new breakfast thing, to get inspiration I search the web and test out meals only to find them lacking, eventually though if all goes well I stumble onto a breakfast that I love and want to eat everyday. Consider the following to be a log of my breakfast ruts. Scrambled eggs and fruit. Simple and easy, it keeps me full and I love the sweetness of fresh fruit. Toast (or honestly sometimes just a piece of bread) topped with crunchy peanut butter and banana slices. Toast or English Muffin topped with avocado, salt, pepper, and everything bagel seasoning. Kick it up a notch by adding a fried egg, alfalfa sprouts to the toast (before the seasoning), or by using flakey sea salt, I love the crunch it provides. Plain yogurt with fruit, nuts and honey or maple syrup and maybe granola if we have it is another go to breakfast I enjoy. What are your breakfast ruts? I am always on the lookout for new ideas that are simple and tasty.
I have become someone who simplifies breakfast. I will occasionally make something new and exciting, but for now my breakfast is typically cereal. I prefer to not have to think when it comes to breakfast. I am looking for something that tastes good, will keep me full for a while and that energizes me. When breakfast comes around and I am looking at other people's recipes the ones I keep tend to be few and far between. I test out quite a lot but am usually disappointed with the results. I am picky when it comes to breakfast and I am also quite hungry at breakfast time, typically I have exercised beforehand and am ready for some food I enjoy both savory and sweet breakfasts, and I expect my breakfasts to stand the test of time. I want them to be recipes I enjoy again and again. The first standout is Quinoa Breakfast Eggs. I have found this recipe to be quite filling which is surprising based on the size of the portion. I also have served it to others who have also enjoyed it. I appreciate the variety in texture and taste. This breakfast is well seasoned and one I return to again and again. Also if you make the quinoa the night before this is a quick breakfast option. The second make ahead meal I love to make are No-Bake Almond Granola Bars. I like these because you can make them ahead of time, they feel decadent, but still have some nuts to keep you full. The one suggestion I would make is use regular oats rather than quick oats, the texture is chewier that way and I prefer that. Along similar lines, another breakfast I love to make are Healthy Homemade PB Energy Bars. This is one recipe my husband disagrees with me, basically because he does not like coconut and I do. These can be made the night before and I have also served them to people, who aren't my husband and these were devoured quite quickly. Another recipe I love are popovers, these are not necessarily quick, but I thoroughly enjoy them and they are a nice decadent treat. Growing up we ate at Jordan Pond House, for tea once each summer and these were a staple. After learning to make them at home, you will never want to go elsewhere. I typically serve these with butter and strawberry jam, but any kind will do. These CANNOT be made ahead, you want to eat them warm almost right out of the oven. My final addition is a recent favorite. On Christmas I typically test out new recipes. I loved this Twisted Sticky Caramel-Pecan Roll. Two notes, one soften cream cheese way ahead of time, second the recipe repeats ingredients so disregard the second half. I used my go to pizza dough recipe the night before and then made it in the morning. I enjoyed it. Only time will tell if this lasts the test of time, but it tasted like a delicious cinnamon bun that had been slightly flattened. What are your go-to breakfasts? Any suggestions of recipes to try?
