Can we have breakfast every meal of the day?
Why spend thousands of dollars on flights and accommodation to travel to Lebanon, when you can be taken on a Lebanese food journey with just one dish. The Lebanese baked beans (fasulia) and poached eggs at Mosaic Café will make forget all about your international travel with just one mouthful. Served with cucumber, tomato salsa and tasty Lebanese bread wedges, the stress of finding a hotel room will be a bad memory. Add on the Lebanese spicy sausage and sautéed mushrooms and you won’t even have to worry about unflattering passport photos again! With all the money you’ll save with this food journey, you can buy more important things like more food and wine… lots and lots of wine.
Eggs Benedict I The Box on the Water I Ettalong Beach
Boy, are we glad that an egg dish made it onto this list. It finally gives us a chance to whip out all of the egg puns we’ve been dying to use for months! Now, we’re not yolking with you when we say that the eggs benedict at The Box on the Water is absolutely eggsquisite! But we’re sure you’re cracking up as you wonder what makes this eggs benedict different from the classic eggs benny on café menus across the Coast. Well, everything in this dish is made with egg-streme care. The perfectly poached eggs are placed on a bed of spinach, your choice of ham, spinach or asparagus, and sourdough toasted to perfection. It’s topped with a creamy and delicious homemade hollandaise sauce to make one shell of a dish!
Breaky Tacos I Jimmy G’s I Gosford, West Gosford and Tuggerah
Just the word ‘breakfast’ already makes our tummies rumble, but add the word ‘tacos’ to the end and we’re totally drooling. Jimmy G’s is the home of the breakfast taco on the Central Coast, and boy – with just one bite of these, you’ll want to make it your home too! For this dish, fluffy scrambled eggs are mixed with delicious house-made Mexican beans before being served with three warm soft tortillas and side of sour cream, pico-de-gallo and fresh avocado with a jalapeño hot cheese dressing. If we’re being honest, we’re kind of debating if it would be socially acceptable to order two serves.
Smashed Avocado I Tommy’s Café I Gosford
We couldn’t have a list of breakfast and NOT have smashed avo make an appearance somewhere. However, the smashed avocado at Tommy’s Café isn’t just a piece of bread with half-mashed avo. No, at Tommy’s, the smashed avocado is practically an art form. Perfectly toasted seeded sourdough is topped with avocado and cherry tomato before being sprinkled with parmesan shavings, salted labna, basil leaves, and house-made dukkah. A slice of lemon is placed on the side, and the dish is completed with the ultimate finishing touch – flowers! That’s right, a small sprinkling of brightly, coloured edible flowers are scattered over the plate to create a dish that is truly a masterpiece.
Waffle Platter I Warnies Café I Warnervale
You’re going to need your stretchy pants for this breakfast. Jeans, shorts or any sort of stomach restricting clothing just won’t do for this feast. You’ll need your big, elastic-waisted pants with plenty of room to stretch because you’ve got to try and fit in not one, not two, not three, but FIVE loaded waffles. Sure, you COULD share with your friends, but with flavours like honeycomb and caramel, brownie and chocolate ice cream, and bacon and maple syrup you won’t want to share.
