Breakfast Dishes

Eggs, pancakes, waffles, muffins, and biscuits all are common breakfast dishes, but traveling around the U.S. reveals a cornucopia of uniquely regional ways to start the day. Among these are beignets and cafe au lait in New Orleans, migas as well as chicken-fried steak in the Southwest, shrimp and grits along the South’s Atlantic coast, carne adovada in New Mexico, malasadas in Portuguese neighborhoods of New England and Hawaii, scones with honey in Utah, ployes along the International Boundary, pork roll sandwiches in New Jersey, chocolate-gravy biscuits in the Ozarks, goetta in Cincinnati, scrapple in the Mid-Atlantic states, and country ham with red-eye gravy throughout the South.
