Start Your Day Right With These 8 Breakfast Recipes

Even if you are a morning person, there can be something about the first meal of the day that seems like such a hurdle. And we won’t even talk about the night owls’ struggles. Perhaps you’re in need of fresh inspiration for breakfast after wearing out the same old chia pudding, or you need a reminder that a great slice of sourdough topped with butter and a fried egg is indeed a great breakfast. There’s also the chance that you’re trying your hand at brunch and want to impress with something for a crowd, in which case we’d suggest getting out your double burner griddle and ladling out pancakes, flipping French toast, or channeling  your inner short order cook for breakfast sandwiches, hash browns, or pastrami hash. Whatever the reason you’re looking for breakfast recipe inspiration, we’ve got you covered.

BREAKFAST SANDWICHES FOR A CROWD

If you’ve ever been saved on a Sunday morning by the glory of a perfect breakfast sandwich, then perhaps you are moved to do the same for a crowd, and by crowd we’re talking six people (or three, if you each want two). These breakfast sandwiches come together with ease on your Hybrid Double Burner Griddle–you can fry the eggs, cook the bacon, and griddle the buns all on the same pan. The thing that pulls it all together, though, is a quick avocado-lime mash, which plays off the melted cheddar with the harmony of a nineties girl group, and we mean that as a compliment.

You’ll first soak slices of brioche bread in a cinnamon sugar-infused custard mixture sprinkling them on all sides with more sugar. Your Hybrid Double Burner Griddle does the rest of the work, transforming the crust into
