10 easy homemade sweet and savory breakfast recipes (beyond toast)

Not everyone is born a breakfast person. For many, that first meal of the day has always been a matter of mere formality: a quick coffee, some cookies rescued from the cupboard or anything improvised at the coffee shop around the corner. And, in the best of cases, a piece of toast, an infallible resource that fulfills its role but rarely surprises.

Over time, one discovers that breakfast takes many more forms than we imagine: a cup of coffee with a piece of freshly baked sponge cake, a bowl of creamy oatmeal or some fluffy American pancakes. The important thing is not the recipe itself, but how it manages to transform an ordinary morning into a more pleasant moment. That first meal ceases to be a formality and becomes a small pleasure that sets the pace of the day.

The recipes that follow are not designed to complicate your life, but rather the opposite: to remind you that starting the day can be simple and comforting. Breakfast has the power to give us a different moment: it can be the silence of the house still half asleep, a quick chat before leaving for the office or the perfect excuse to stop, even if it's only for five minutes. Here you will find sweet proposals: quick for days in a hurry and more leisurely for when there is time to spare. Because getting out of bed is sometimes hard, but breakfast can be the best incentive... beyond toast.

Passionate about cooking and good food, my life revolves around carefully chosen words and wooden spoons. Responsible, yet forgetful. I am a journalist and writer with years of experience, and I found my ideal corner in France, where I work as a writer for Petitchef. I love bœuf bourguignon, but I miss my mother's salmorejo. Here, I combine my love for writing and delicious flavors to share recipes and kitchen stories that I hope will inspire you. I like my tortilla with onions and slightly undercooked :)
