First, there were bacon bowls. Now Kristen of Dine and Dish brings us bacon and egg cups. Unlike other versions I've seen floating around, Kristen uses the inside of a muffin tin and bakes the bacon and egg together all at once. No bacon-weaving skills needed. Simple, efficient, and a nifty way to present breakfast to a crowd....

If your frozen waffles could talk, you'd hear a lot of screaming. So it's a good thing they live out their pain in silence! This video follows a pair of frozen waffles and their alternating moments of fleeting pain and pleasure as they go from freezer to plate. Watch the video after the jump....

"No, thank you. I got a thing about chickens." For breakfast this morning I boiled a couple eggs. And, don't you know it, every time I peel a hard-boiled egg, I think of this scene from Angel Heart. I'm usually a little faster than Robert DeNiro and can often manage to remove the shell in one piece, but his technique is solid—crack it all over; roll it around on the plate, applying moderate pressure to further crack the shell; then peel. The egg scene, after the jump. (NSFW due to mild language.)...

Boston breakfasters have it good. We've already noted how Joanne Chang's Flour Bakery churns out killer baked goods, like the incomparably gooey Sticky Sticky Buns. And across town is Clear Flour Bread, a tiny Brookline bakery famous for classic Italian breads and French pastries—and the mouthwatering oven fumes wafting down the block. Two Boston bakeries, two similar names: They invite comparison! Each one has a loyal following, and the long weekend lines to prove it. It’s hard to appoint either of these the best bakery in town. But each one has specialties that can’t be beat....

Photograph from greefus groinks on Flickr During tough economic times, restaurants search for quick fixes to make up for lost revenue. Some options: extending hours, skimping on portions, and adding breakfast service. As a fervent breakfast burrito lover, I was curious if Chipotle had considered the morning menu addition. Currently, the national chain doesn't open stores until 11 a.m., but maybe they could set the alarm clocks earlier and throw some eggs on the griddle? When asked, Chiptole's public relations director Chris Arnold, had this to say: That is certainly something people have suggested to us, and something we have thought about ourselves. But it isn't as simple as it might look. Doing breakfast impacts our labor model (which...

mailonsunday.co.uk Yes, I would like some pancakes, Mr. Robot. The Japanese have done it again with the Motoman robot, a pancake-flipping wonder of circuits and electricity. This awesome machine recently debuted at a three-day exhibition of robots in Osaka. If you could have a robot, what would you want it to cook for you? [via Coldmud]...

Remember these guys? Of course you do. There may well be a box stuffed in the back of your freezer—even if it’s been there since 1994. Back in my freezer-breakfast days, Eggo made one thing: waffles. And they looked just like this. (Except for the Guitar Hero ad.) But these days, the supermarket Eggo section is stocked with unfamiliar specimens. Eggo Toaster Cinnamon Rolls? French Toaster Sticks? Bake Shop Swirlz? Mini Muffin Tops? The waffles are just one box among many. As much as Eggo evolves, though, some things never change: Everything is compact and toaster-ready, and everything comes in a cheery yellow box. So how do these newfangled Eggos stack up? Cinnamon Roll Minis Four to a waffle-sized...

For the times you want quick, easy scrambled eggs, minus the eggs: here's a recipe for tofu "scram." Chris Brunn of Gapers Block combines tahini, sesame seeds, soy sauce, lemon, and ripped-up pieces of tofu. He recommends tofu with a firm, solid texture....

If I could choose to live anywhere in Portland, it would be right near Pine State Biscuits. A staff of friendly twenty-somethings run the kitchen stations, cranking out orders of their famous biscuits slathered in sausage or mushroom gravy, with fried chicken, eggs cooked to order, and various seasonal sides—including hash browns, grits, and braised greens. You can expect to wait on a weekend morning—ours, including the line and food preparation, was about a half hour. This is not a brunch spot to linger at, so tables turn over frequently....

There are several schools of thought when it comes to breakfast pastries. There are the French loyalists, who rely on a time-honored repertoire of croissants, brioche, and pain au chocolat. Then there’s the anything-goes sweet tooth contingent—lovers of sticky buns and coffee cake, donuts and muffins, not bound by patisserie tradition but looking for a breakfast that’s gooey and satisfying. Can these two camps ever reach across the aisle? Yes, they can—in the morning bun. In my mind, the morning bun is the perfect synthesis of the classic croissant and the irresistible sticky bun. Call it a croissant in cinnamon roll clothing. It’s made of a buttery croissant dough, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar (and often walnuts or pecans), then...
