Huevos rancheros at the Good Egg!
They make it crispy (I hate overly saucy huevos rancheros), with a pair of medium eggs, fresh cut jalapeños, and a great salsa fresco.

Pork meat, scrambled eggs, biscuits, milk gravy, fried taters, home grown tomatoes, peach jelly and ice tea. A big bait of that will get you to dinner (mid day meal). Larry

For me, it's hard to beat Eggs Benedict. Unfortunately, I don't get to enjoy it all that often - making the hollandaise sauce is a real art. Here's a pic of my ideal breakfast as served at the century-old Copper Queen hotel in Bisbee, Arizona! A dash of Tabasco sauce gives it just a tad more "oomph" for Southwestern tastes.

Biscuits and gravy would have ben right up there but I can't eat real biscuits or real gravy anymore.
Eggs Benedict but I can't have a real english muffin anymore.
So I'm down to some version of eggs with country ham and orange juice.

Country ham & gravy, eggs, biscuits, coffee is ideal, but happy with bacon or sausage instead of country ham. Strawberry preserves on the side.
Been there, done that, for sure. But I think the best juevos rancheros in Phoenix are found at Sylvia's La Canasta, on 7th Avenue at Missouri. That's the real deal, served scrambled on a soft corn tortilla, green chili sauce laced with spinach, crisp bacon, refried beans (with grated cheese) and a hot tortilla. When I get the urge for J.R., don't get in my way - that's where I'm headed!

Start with a big glass of tomato juice. then 3 pieces of extra crispy bacon, 2 fried eggs over easy, hash brown potatoes, sour dough toast, coffee.
But I've slowed way down in my declining years. Here's what it used to be like:
Half a dozen strips of bacon extra crispy, 4 or 5 eggs fried over easy, big pile of french fries, bowl of bacon grease/flour gravy, 1/4 of a pan of cornbread. 2 glasses of milk. (It takes a lot of fuel to run a big motor )
Still have the big motor (what I call my giddy-up go drive) but these days it don't run so good and it awful hard to get it started sometimes. Guess it got-up and went

Two green, cheese enchiladas. Fresh, hot chips. Ice cold Corona, cold enough so there's ice chips starting to form in the bottle, no lime. Several styles of "real" salsa (none of that mango, kiwi, blueberry stuff) from roasted jap to green to habanero, medium thin, not chunky.
No beans and rice, save that for lunch later.
Top it off with a little Mexican fried ice cream if you're still hungry.
Mmmmm. 'Em's good eatin'!

Breakfast for a king
2 scrambled eggs, grits, hash browns, toast (with GRAPE jelly)
a large glass of milk and small glass of OJ. Bacon of course. And I wouldn't complain if they threw in a little sausage.

Salmon, especially smoked salmon omelet. With Serrano pepper, avocado, spinach, onion, a little tomato (sautéed with the salmon first in olive oil) and cheese.

Best breakfast I ever ate was a lobster omelette at My Blue Heaven in Key West. Around here once a year I get a feta omelette with gyro meat and tomato in it with white toast on the side at Tom's Diner.
So...Ya wanna talk Mexican breakfast eh?s. Miss Pam's parents had a traditional Mexican breakfast they would fix sometimes and it went like this right here:
.Home made flour tortillas
.Fresh made "chilito" FIL's name for the salsa he made with fresh tomatoes, peppers, onion, and cilantro....all fresh picked from his garden using an old antique mortar and pestle to crush it all together.
.Fresh made refried pinto beans also from his garden.
.They had no pigs or chickens so they had to buy the bacon and eggs from the store.
We didn't use no steenkeen silver ware neither. Use the tortillas as pushers.
That will stick to your ribs all the way till lunch time and beyond.

Anyone here eat goetta? It's the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky version of scrapple: steel-cut oats, minced pork and onions, very German. Two versions, regular and hot. Comes in a roll like sausage. Slice it, fry it (I like it brown and crisp on the outside), and serve with eggs or just top with syrup. Delicious.
That sounds very good. Reckon there's any place around SE Texas that a person might find it? I'd love to give that a try sometime.

I like the Lemon-Ricotta Hot Cakes with fresh berries and pure maple syrup from Hells Kitchen in Minneapolis.

Oh, there are so many choices: bacon n' eggs, eggs Benedict, German pancakes with fresh fruit are all high on the list but they are number one.
My favorite breakfast has to be pancakes along with fresh caught trout and eggs fried in butter. Bacon is optional. They eggs might start out sunny side up or over easy but could end end up scrambled. It really doesn't matter. You get'm how you get'm.
You need a pot of cowboy coffee which is grounds of what ever coffee was cheap at the store tossed in the pot of water and allowed to boil for a bit. Let it sit some and then pour carefully.
This breakfast can only be cooked over a campfire that is high up in the mountains some where near tree line. I've ordered eggs and trout in few fine dining establishments. Somehow it just isn't as good.
Remember, if you were out catching those trout; instead of staying back in camp, bringing the fire back to life and cook'n well you'd better not be complaining about a little ash seasoning the eggs.

I'll Join Andy G. for biscuits and gravy. Best breakfast, ever, period.
Except for chorizo, eggs and hash browns, which is good, too.
And Bill B. raises the bar a little by mentioning coffee. A good, strong cup of coffee is what completes breakfast.
My tip is: take one of the egg shells from breakfast, rinse it out a little, and drop it in the coffee pot. Not on the grounds, in the pot. As it perks/drips, the calcium carbonate from the shell really mellows out the bite of really strong coffee, and takes it from a good beverage to "nectar of the gods."

PS....I am now officially hungry.

I was just thinking about my childhood, Mom making waffles, with Vermont Maid syrup. I loved it, I would try to fill every square with syrup.
I remember a time, when I was in school, and I would eat Oreos and Milk for breakfast. Now, THAT's breakfast of champions!

I wish I could give more than one like on this one. I like over medium as well and cant stand runny white. I love to have toast with it to sop up the yolk--which is peppered and salted-toast has to be buttered. I could eat that forever..

I like German pancakes too--which was a platter sized tortilla with meat and cheese.

It's All Good
All of these delicacies are making me hungry.
There's a restaurant called Cutters, next to the Pike Place Market in Seattle. They make an Eggs Benedict with Dungeness Crab instead of Canadian Bacon. I would sell my mother to the Gypsies for one right now.
When our kids come for a visit, they want my wife's Swedish pancakes with chopped-up peaches and (real) whipped cream. She's actually 100% Norwegian but you'd never know.
Good topic. I'd try 'em all except for the Jalepeno ones-- I already take Purple Pills (for heartburn).

You spelled it correctly, I dont see any red squiggly lines under the words.
I cant think of the Mex name for it--but I like a dish they make that is scrambled eggs with peppers, sliced corn tortilla potatoes all mixed together, comes with refried beans and that slimy green junk made from Avacadoes that I cant stand. I mix a lot of salsa with the beans and go to town.
Just thought of if--its called a Migas Plate. Ive got several Mex eateries with in a few minutes-think that will be my breakfast tomorrow.
