20 Cheap Breakfast Recipes That Your Family Will Love - The Kingston Home

LET’S TALK BREAKFAST:

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, between busy mornings and having little time to cook and meal plan, making a good breakfast can easly be put on the backburner (pun intended)! Plus, let’s not even talk about meal planning, driving to the grocery store, and the price of eggs.

In our house, we have been on a sourdough bread kick and have been loving every minute of it! It started out as a way to relieve some stress, but it turned into a full-blown baking hobby! I’ve been knee-deep (again, pun intended) into recipes and videos. Like, did you know that people make sourdough with CHEESE??? We’re talking bread bowls with cheese or cheese baked into the bread! I posted a few of our sourdough bread attempts on social media and got tons of feedback, including some yummy recipes to try.

You might be like, Beth, why are you talking so much about sourdough bread?

Well, if you have never made sourdough, it requires a lot of time, effort, ingredients, and patience! All of these things are great if you have the time, but the process of making the bread got me thinking about budget-friendly breakfast recipes that were easy to make, used basic ingredients, and resulted in a delicious meal.

After searching the interwebs, I have found 23 budget-friendly breakfast ideas that I know you are going to LOVE! These recipes are not only delicious but cover a wide variety of cooking options, like using the crockpot, air fryer, or a simple skillet. Also, most of them are pretty healthy, which is always a plus.

So this month, skip the cinnamon rolls, soft-boiled eggs, overnight oats, and those stale English muffins, and make these easy breakfast recipes instead!

23 CHEAP BREAKFAST RECIPES:

As I mentioned before, I rounded up 23 cheap breakfast recipes that you can make this weekend or even today (if you have the ingredients in your pantry). To make things a bit easier, I divided the recipes up by either the main ingredient or the type of food it is (like pancakes). By doing this, you can easily skip the recipes that interest you the most!
