19 Vegetarian Breakfast Recipes

Making vegetarian breakfast recipes might seem like something out of the ordinary – however, I am an ambassador for light vegetarian breakfast recipes. In fact, it is not so uncommon to not include ham, bacon or any type of meat for that matter in a breakfast dish. Take the Italians for instance. They eat sweet pastries, like croissants with crema di pistachio (pistachio spread), jam or Nutella. Sounds sinful- doesn’t it? I have many sweet things in store when it comes to these vegetarian breakfast recipes.

In Germany, people opt for the traditional Continental Breakfast, which includes a piece of toast and lots of cheese. Of course, you can also include ham if you wish. Sometimes, you even have a selection of freshly cut vegetables with an egg and a piece of toast. Well, us Britons love our traditional bacon and eggs, and who can forget about our lovely full English breakfast will all those sausages?

Still, it is not so uncommon to prepare a vegetarian breakfast recipe as many people tend to have the feeling that meat is too heavy. In fact, it is more and more common to eat vegan – even for breakfast. Just take a look at my 106 vegan recipes, where you can also find amazing breakfast recipes. I gave up eating pork this year and feel ecstatic about it. Not only do I feel healthier, but it eases my conscience as well. That’s why I am very excited to take it slowly to the next step and omit meat completely. Wish me luck! These baby steps count.

Just to clarify, a vegetarian is a person who doesn’t eat any type of meat, including fish. Some people call themselves vegetarian if they don’t eat red or white meat, but still order seafood from the menu, which makes them pescatarian. A true vegetarian doesn’t eat any type of animal flesh, period. You might be wondering what the difference is between vegetarianism and veganism. Well, veganism is takes vegetarianism to the next level. Vegans don’t eat any products derived from animals such as dairy products or honey. If you have any questions, feel free to comment.
