Fun Breakfast Recipes
There is nothing better than a delightful, fun and tasty breakfast or brunch! We’ve enjoyed some really delicious recipes here on Bubba Pie that you can use to treat yourself. We love this Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf Recipe. It’s soft, moist, zesty and has just the right amount of sweetness! We are also in love with these Chocolate Chip Breakfast Muffins because…well…. who doesn’t love Chocolate Chips?!?!? But a fun take on breakfast doesn’t have to really on a pastry or baked good. There are so many other things you can do to give your breakfast a fresh spin. And that is where the inspiration for these Ham and Cheese Breakfast Nachos came!
Breakfast Nachos
My husband LOVES nachos! He used to have a rule that if he saw nachos on a menu at a restaurant, he would HAVE to get them. Well, nachos are on most menus, so, he was eating A LOT of nachos. I think he finally had to give up his rule!
We’ve got this Breakfast Nacho Recipe that had him SUPER excited. It’s super easy to make and you can tweak it to your specific tastes!
What You Will Need For Breakfast Nachos
- Tortilla chips
- Shredded cheese
- Eggs
- Milk
- Chopped ham
- Salt and pepper
- Salsa
- Sour cream
- Jalapeno peppers
Notes and Variations
Here are a couple things to consider when making these Breakfast Nachos:
- Make sure you cook on the lowest rack of the oven so that the cheese doesn’t burn.
- Definitely use FRESH jalapenos, not the canned ones.
- It doesn’t really matter what cheese you use. We used the “Mexican Blend” cheese.
- Do NOT forget to line the baking sheet. If you don’t the cheese will stick to the baking sheet. You could also bake these in a cast iron skillet!
Some fun variations to this recipe would be:
- You could use lots of different meats: bacon, sausage, chorizo… They would all be delicious.
- Add some green onions for a garnish for some extra color and flavor.
- Sliced Avocado! Or Guacamole!
- Instead of scrambled eggs, you could fry them to your liking and put them on top. This gives it a pretty cool presentation.
- Adding sour cream would be yummy too! Or, for a lower fat option, use some Greek Yogurt!
I hope you enjoy this recipe for Breakfast Nachos! The next time we host a party to watch our favorite sports teams team on game day, I definitely gonna put these out on the spread. It will be fun to have something a little bit different to offer the guest! Thanks for reading!
