sigh . . .
breakfast stuff is so . . . . dunno? sumptin? -ish?
today did blueberry pancakes with 2x Oscar Mayer bacon strips.
done beef/pork/cheese omelets. - DW luv'd it/them. . .
done eggs - sunny side up / over easy / scrambled.

imho, "eggs & breakfast" is a highly personalized/individual kinda/ thang . . . .
 
I have 4 standard breakfasts.
1. Bacon, eggs, (fried/steamed or scrambled/omelet), mushrooms, shallots & if available, potatoes of some sort, plus toast.
2. Toast with peanut butter and jam.
3. Recently started on Harvest Crunch Cereal.
4. Once or twice a year I'll make pancakes or waffles - big batch and freeze. Always served with butter and Maple Syrup.

with #1 I might also have what ever is hanging around in the fridge, maybe some spinach or asparagus, etc.
#1 used to be poached for a couple of years but it's too awkward to poach now so it is rare.

Often eat quite late in the mornings to the point is almost lunch.
 
For the longest time Back Bacon (or Peameal) was not available in Quebec. Each trip I made to Ontario I had to make sure I brought some back for my BIL. I believe you can now, what say you @taxlady?
I don't usually even look for back bacon at regular grocery stores. You know me, I'm weird and picky. I don't expect to find any with info about where the pigs were raised and if they were treated well, so I generally substitute sliced ham from duBreton. It's not thin slices and it's organic and they are local here in Quebec.

So, I checked online. At Metro, this the closest I got: https://www.metro.ca/en/online-groc...rk/sliced-breakfast-smoked-ham/p/068553100165 I find some of the ingredients a bit off putting.

At Voilá, I found this: https://voila.ca/products/greenfield-natural-meat-co-back-bacon-200-g/619704EA, which looks more like something I would buy.

I have a couple of recipes for making back bacon at home. One is a Danish recipe and the other one is supposed to be German.
 
Cuban sandwich quesadillas.

Not pretty, but it sure smelled and tasted good. A skillet type breakfast, onions and par baked red potatoes fried in the pan with the bacon grease from the bacon in last night's Cobb salad plus a little vegetable oil, chopped deli ham, eggs nestled in the potato mixture after it was nearly done, Muenster cheese, then covered to get the eggs to cook and melt the cheese. I had 2 eggs that went in first, but still bled a bit, and Craig had 3 eggs that bled a lot plus he used hot sauce. I'm stuffed now and ready for a nap!

That looks and sounds really yummy. I will probably do something similar soon. It might be my supper.
 
90% of our breakfasts are either a thick cut rolled oatmeal or a 9 grain rolled flakes, freshly cooked in the microwave, or stored wet in the refrigerator fermented a little then heated.
Then we add canned fruit puree/jam (it's jam if it has sugar added but not all fruit needs any sugar to be delicious).
Or we add fresh or frozen fruit like blueberries, raisins, dried fruit, and honey/sugar if it needs a little sweetness.
An overnight oatmeal has everything put in a jar in the fridge the night before, fruit, oats, milk/water, flax/chia, nuts, sweetner. (I miss having that.)

At night, we often have a little oatmeal or 9 grain flakes, in a bowl with fruit or in fruit-oatmeal cookies w/raisins in them. I do like it more than mr bliss at night.
