How do you feel about these food combinations?

When it comes to breakfast, there are some combinations that just seem to make perfect sense: bacon and eggs, pancakes and maple syrup and bagels and cream cheese.

You can even make the case for things like chicken and waffles, and biscuits and gravy.

But from time to time, you sit down at a new spot for a nice meal to start your day and you see something on the menu that makes you do a double take – because you never thought to put those ingredients together.

During our travels, extensive search of menus and with talking to those who like to go out to breakfast, we identified some menu items around town that you don’t see everywhere – and put them in one neat package. You’re welcome.

At the Newell Post, owner Deb Newell added an authentic Quebec recipe to the menu that has been handed down for generations in her family.

Tourtiere Pie is a French meat pie made with hamburger and pork, spices and some potatoes. You can get it served with eggs, the filling inside an omelet or as your meat with your eggs benedict.

Tucker’s has a nice little upgrade to your traditional breakfast potatoes with its red quinoa hash browns.

They’re made with Idaho potatoes, red quinoa, baby spinach, Vermont cheddar, and sea salt.

You’ll typically find French toast stuffed with something and pancakes mixed with fruit or chocolate chips, but Barous’ Family Restaurant took it a step further: bacon stuffed pancakes.

They take a piece of cooked bacon, dip it in pancake batter and put it on the grill. So it looks like a bacon shaped pancake – with bacon inside.

 

 

When you feel like a breakfast sandwich, it can be hard to choose what kind of meat you want on it. EJ’s on Main takes the guess work out of with a breakfast slider trio that features one each with bacon, sausage and ham.

The Little Creperie has all kinds of great sweet and savory crepes, but it was something else that caught our eye. A cinnamon bun waffle.

Now cinnamon buns and waffles are delicious on their own, but combining them could be legendary.

It’s a buttermilk waffle with made from scratch cinnamon-syrup and cream cheese icing.

When it comes to omelettes, you can put just about anything in them. That’s the fun part about omelettes.

But we found a few on menus that just scream outside the box.

There’s the brisket omelette at Beefside with smoked brisket, American cheese with grilled peppers and onions, and drizzled with their Bubba sauce.

Morning Dew Café has a cheeseburger omelette, and Barous has one with meatloaf in it.

And if you missed the pizza issue a few weeks ago, Cimo’s South End Deli has a breakfast pizza complete with scrambled eggs and bacon.
