From J&D's, the people who brought you Bacon Salt and Baconnaise (among other bacon-flavored products), come bacon-flavored envelopes. Yeah, instead of tasting like paste, you can now dream of breakfast as you pay your bills. As with Bacon Salt and Baconnaise, there's no real bacon in Mmmvelopes, so they're as vegetarian- or vegan-friendly as a pork-flavored stationery item can be. As such, the website says you don't need to refrigerate them. Available at mmmvelopes.com, $6.99 for 25 envelopes...

For bacon with perfectly crunchy-chewy texture, Alton Brown chooses his waffle iron over the normal pan approach. This got us thinking—what about a panini press or George Foreman grill?

[Photograph: Michael Nagrant] Last month I wrote about the custard cotton candy–like interior of the best French toast ever at Chicago's new breakfast spot Jam. Well, call me fickle, but I've fallen in love with a new piece of brioche: the deep-fried French toast served at The Publican for brunch. I mean, yeah, they had me at deep-fried, but then they went and topped the whole thing with silver dollar–sized slices of foie gras torchon, drizzled it with fresh strawberry preserves, and girded the toast with house-made fennel and orange rind–stuffed sausage links....

[Photograph: The Kitchn] The Kitchn shares a neat tip on making milky foaminess for your morning coffee without investing in any fancy contraptions. All you need is a jar and a microwave. Pour the amount of milk you'll want in your coffee into the jar, put the top on, shake it up real good for 30 seconds, remove the lid, microwave this for 30 seconds, and voila. Two-percent milk does the trick or be more indulgent with cream or half-and-half.

[Photographs: Adam Kuban] Matt's Big Breakfast 801 North 1st Street, Phoenix AZ 85004 (at East McKinley; map); 602-254-1074; mattsbigbreakfast.com My recent pizza tour of the West Coast included a quick, 22-hour stop in Phoenix, where, before leaving town, I visited Matt's Big Breakfast. The eponymous owner is Matt Pool, who started this popular breakfast spot shortly after leaving Bar Bianco. Bar Bianco is the watering hole that pizzaman Chris Bianco opened next door to his legendary Pizzeria Bianco, where the thinking has always been use only the best ingredients and prepare them in a simple manner that lets them shine on their own. Unsurprisingly, Pool learned this lesson well and employs the same philosophy at Big Breakfast. So along...

This savory pannekoek almost resembles a pizza. [Flickr: Greta B.] It's important to know all the members of the pancake family. Pannekoeken are Dutch-style pancakes that, like crepes, can go the sweet or savory route, but have a little more heft since they're filled with anything from mushrooms and bacon to Gouda and apple slices. It's kind of like an omelette except with a pancake foundation. They're also enjoyed plain with just some butter and sugar or stroop (syrup) on top. The San Francisco Chronicle had a nice profile on the anytime-meal yesterday. The recipe for the plain pannekoek is easy, just an eggs-milk-flour-salt batter, and the fillings are up to you.

[Photograph: Dan Jackson] In his photograph Builders Breakfast, Dan Jackson shows how really, really, really tiny people might eat a fried egg on toast. This photograph is part of a series called "Little Folk," available as prints in Jackon's Etsy shop. (If the concept looks familiar, you have probably seen Minimiam by Akiko Ida and Pierre Javelle.)...

This breakfast-making contraption recently designed by Yuki Suzuki can whip up omelets, butter toast, brew coffee, and squeeze fresh orange juice. It was made out of record players, alarm clocks, and other miscellaneous household items. Though the guy in the video explains the crazy Rube Goldbergian process in Dutch, you really don't need words to appreciate an egg rolling down a slide and paint roller slathering butter onto toast. (And if you do speak Dutch, maybe there's a part about leaving out the bacon?) Watch the video, after the jump....
