30 Breakfast Ideas Using Leftovers

From Turkey Meal Pastries to Sweet Strudel Muffins

There are two ways to approach what to eat after a big meal, like on Thanksgiving morning: if you’re not already sick of having multiple plates heaped with hearty foods, you can work some leftovers into your breakfast, or have a morning meal that has nothing to do with anything you ate last night. While a break can be nice, there are some foods that you just don't want laying in your fridge.

Dinner leftovers have a range of flavors that lend themselves well to breakfast foods. Cinnamon and nutmeg are some of the best warming spices for big holiday meals that also make delicious compliments to sweet breakfast pastries and rolls. If you’re looking for something more savory, poultry eggs benedict provides a delicious twist to a classic that you’ll just want to gobble up.
