Queenie’s Killer Tomato Bagel Sandwich

Shredding potatoes instead of cubing them increases the surface area that browns, which results in much crispier hash browns.
Homemade Breakfast Sausage
Round out biscuits or hash browns with hearty home-style breakfast sausage. These pork patties have loads of perfect five-star reviews.
Chickpea Omelette
“Chickpea flour and lightly sautéed vegetables recreate an eggless frittata or open-faced omelette,” Allrecipes Allstar Buckwheat Queen says. “A delicious — not too dense, not too fluffy — must-have on your brunch table. Using black salt gives the dish a slight egg flavor.”
Breakfast Sausage White Cheese Pizza
Pizza with pork sausage coins and ground Italian sausage win the savory breakfast game. If you’re avoiding eggs as an allergen, double check that your pre-made crust doesn’t contain them.
