Around here, we love breakfast for dinner – and for me, vegetarian breakfast for dinner ideas are always appreciated. So I thought I would collect a bunch of vegetarian breakfast for dinner recipes here to share!
As far as I’m concerned, breakfast for dinner is a completely legit way to close the day. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s pretty hearty and satisfying too. Around here, we like to take it to the next level by changing into our pajamas for the night. We strive for authenticity!
Thanks to foods like eggs, oatmeal, nuts, yogurt, avocados, and fresh produce, vegetarian breakfast-for-dinner recipes are plentiful. So plentiful, in fact, that I’ve rounded up 40 of them right here!

Incredible round-up Kare!! Inspired to have breakfast 3 times a day for the next week now! 😉 Thanks so much for sharing my tofu scramble!
Breakfast for dinner is a favorite, and these are some amazing recipes!
Well I’m officially drooling.  Holy yummo!  These are beautiful and I want to make everything now.  Why is it that sometimes the simplest things (eggs, potatoes. tomatoes) are the best… especially together 🙂  Thanks for sharing.  I might be having a breakfast for dinner themed week 🙂
Mmmmmm! Love breakfast for dinner. Great round-up!
