Earlier this year, we shared a collection of Two-Sentence Summer Recipes from Workman’s panel of cooking experts, and they were a hit! Carefree cooking isn’t seasonal. You should be able to whip up an easy and delicious recipe for dinner, lunch, and . . . breakfast!
Start your day off with ease and try these fun, delicious, creative two-sentence recipes for a morning repast.
Warm Greek-Style Breakfast Grain Bowl
Top a small bowl of leftover warmed cooked millet with some chopped olives, tomatoes, fresh oregano, and crumbled feta. Fry up an egg in a bit of butter, slide it over the top, and season generously with salt and pepper.

Easy Smashed Avocado Toast with a Fried Egg, Cilantro, and Lime
If you love guacamole—and who doesn’t?!—smear a simple homemade version of smashed avocado, cilantro, lime, salt, and garlic on toast and top it with a fried egg. Add on any other leftovers hanging out in the fridge—chopped tomato, a scoop of burrata cheese, or a handful of fresh corn.

Berry, Nutty Oatmeal
Add ½ cup fresh blueberries, 2 tablespoons of almond slivers or walnut pieces, and 1 rounded tablespoon of unsweetened protein powder to one packet of prepared organic oatmeal. Three minutes to yum.

Grilled Eggs with Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and Bread Crumbs
Crack farm eggs into a small baking dish, top with heavy cream, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, bread crumbs, and butter, and indirect grill until set, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve with grilled bread (aka toast) and crisps of grilled prosciutto.
—Steven Raichlen, author of Project Smoke
Breakfast Tacos
Pile fluffy scrambled eggs, shredded pepper jack or cheddar cheese, cubed skillet potatoes browned to a perfect crisp, and (if you’re carnivorous) crumbled sausage or bacon in a flour tortilla that’s been warmed in the oven. Wrap tightly, and serve with a pile of salsa.

Savory Breakfast Yogurt
In a bowl, top a generous helping of Greek yogurt with sliced avocado, za’atar, Maldon salt, and high-quality olive oil. Scoop up with toasted pita or rice cakes, or eat with a spoon!

Crispy Farm Egg
I love a farm-fresh egg fried in about a tablespoon of grass-fed butter; the egg white gets crispy and the butter browns and gets even richer. Balance it with plenty of seasonal fruit, and wash it all down with a hot cup of coffee (I prefer decaf) with frothy coconut milk, a splash of maple syrup, and a dash of cardamom.

And, as a sweet finish to a savory breakfast, why not make a…
Cake Milkshake
Combine a scoop or two of ice cream in a blender with about ½ cup milk; add a slice of leftover cake and pulse to combine. (Add bourbon if you’re a grown-up!)
