No Shame In Our Breakfast-For-Dinner Game: Here Are 8 Recipes To Try

Not only that, but breakfast recipes are eminently adaptable: You can adjust the recipes to fit your dietary preferences (even if that means cutting out eggs). Here, find some of our favorite inspirations for breakfast for dinner—though we'd never say no to a simple avocado toast, either:

"There's just something comforting about breakfast, right?" writes Susan Peirce Thompson, Ph.D.—and we have to agree. Her recipe for these sweet potato patties packs in protein from lentils and gentle spice from cinnamon. While she recommends topping them with yogurt and blueberries, you can opt for whatever toppings you have at home.

Pizza isn't just for dinner...except, in this case, when you're considering making this keto breakfast pizza for dinner. The simple recipe calls for pepperoni, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese atop a crust of egg, but it is also adaptable for if you prefer to opt for a meat-free option (we recommend adding spinach or kale instead, in that case).

You've had a green juice, but what about a green pancake? These pancakes, from Jamie Oliver, are turned green with spinach and have a filling including avocado and cilantro for even more green power. The filling also adds cottage cheese and some hot sauce—certain to add a kick—but feel free to swap in your favorite ingredients.

Traditional shakshuka has eggs, but this vegan take uses plant-based yogurt to replicate some of the creaminess that the slow cooked eggs usually adds, but that doesn't mean it's lacking in protein: the mix includes cannellini beans too. It also opts for a mix of greens—plus a ton of herbs, like mint, dill, and parsley—in place of the traditional tomato sauce.

We call these toasts "genius" for two reasons: They're a super simple way to switch the gluten out of a classic eggs and toast, and they're packed with heathy nutrients thanks to the healthy fats in eggs, avocado, and salmon. A bit of cucumber adds a great fresh touch to the dish, and it's composed enough to really feel like a dinner.

The best of breakfast and healthy eating come together in this dish: waffles and veggies! You need only five ingredients to make them, and the hardest part might be shredding the veggies to add to the mix—but honestly, that sounds kind of like a great option for an active meditation tonight. Top them with an egg, a bit of hummus, or another protein source to make it a bit more filling.

Frittatas and quiches are the ultimate simple dinner: Mix some cooked vegetables to an egg mixture and bake. This recipe for a broccolini frittata is a good place to start if you're needing more specific inspiration for tonight. A small touch of garlic gives tons of flavor, and topping it with anchovies and a bit of salty cheese finishes it off.
