Savory Vegan Breakfast Foods

Even though we lived in Chicago’s northern suburbs most of my childhood, thanks to my southern-born parents, the breakfast foods we enjoyed most fed my appreciation for a savory, protein packed breakfast. I’m talking about southern staples like sausage, bacon, gravy, grits, and biscuits.  Those delicious savory breakfast foods are why Mike and I share the recipes we do. I’m talking about delicious breakfast creations like our easy plant-based sausage patties and oil-free fakin’ bacon.

And then, as a teen, traveling through Europe as the guest of very kind and generous family friends, my appetite for all things savory for breakfast grew tenfold!

During the weeks spent in Bonn, Germany, most mornings we would walk to a nearby grocery market called Jumbo. I adored those morning walks to gather freshly baked loaves of bread, cheeses, spreads, meats, and other deli-type foods—for breakfast!

To this day, those casual, lingering breakfasts nourished by an array of savory flavors and delicious cups of freshly brewed coffee are among some of my fondest memories. The food was simple, satisfying, delicious, and the conversation came easy—crossing language barriers like they were a tiny bubbling stream, the kind you step over effortlessly like a small puddle.

And now, thanks to the internet, the beautiful varying breakfast food traditions of the world are within reach for everyone!  

As you may be able to sense, I treasure that time in Germany. That enlightening cultural experience broadened my appreciation for nearly every bite I’ve taken since.
