Thanksgiving dinner is arguably the most anticipated and involved meal of the year. It's an all-day cooking event that requires plenty of planning and multitasking. With all of your energy going into that feast, what should you do about breakfast on Turkey Day? The kitchen is bustling and the fridge is filled with ingredients and pre-prepared dishes, so you need quick and easy breakfast ideas that require little fuss but yield big results. 

If you want to start with something classic, try our easy pancakes, pictured here. Although the batter is made from scratch, it only takes five minutes to prepare, and we even include a few ingredient swap recommendations in case you prefer buttermilk or yogurt over milk. Looking to serve something savory? Consider a frittata. Our Tomato, Scallion, and Cheddar Frittata requires six ingredients and comes together in just 25 minutes.

Beyond a breakfast that's easy to make, you'll also want one that's easy to serve. Our Apple-Oatmeal Muffins can be made the night prior and warmed up in the morning before serving. A lovely dose of tart apple flavor, these grab-and-go delights are perfect for a holiday breakfast as guests can help themselves. If you prefer to start the day with something savory, trade in your go-to breakfast sandwich for our Bacon, Egg, and Toast Cups, which are made in a muffin tin. Five ingredients are all it takes to make this protein-packed meal. 

No matter which dish you make, these recipes all feature easy to find ingredients that should be available at your local grocery store. Additionally, each recipe requires little hands-on preparation; even if you're making one of our casserole dishes that take an hour to cook, the preparation time is minimal. 

Ahead, Thanksgiving breakfasts that your guests will love—and you'll love them, too, because they're a cinch to make.

Muffins are great for a grab-and-go snack, but we also love them as an easy holiday breakfast option. This recipe uses maple syrup for sweetness and plain yogurt for moisture; two types of bran hold the treat together and give it its fluffiness.

Skip the hassle of poaching eggs, as is called for in traditional eggs Florentine, and opt for this easy, five-ingredient twist instead. Use bread slices brushed with butter to line muffin cups then fill each with spinach and an egg. Bake the dish until the bread is toasted and yolks are slightly runny.

Ham and Cheese Strata

Dijon mustard and smoked paprika give this hearty, layered casserole its depth of flavor. Plus, the dish tastes even better when you make it ahead because the spiced egg mixture has extra time to penetrate the bread, ham, and cheese. Assemble it the night before, then bake the dish for an hour the morning of.

Egg Sandwiches for a Crowd

Egg sandwiches are delicious but can be time consuming to make on a busy holiday morning when you consider all the moving parts (cooking bacon, scrambling eggs, toasting bread). Streamline the process by combining classic breakfast sandwich ingredients (think bacon, eggs, and Swiss) into one big frittata, then slice into portions and serve each between slices of toast.
