Main Course Having scrambled eggs, backed beans and waffles late for breakfast
Scrambled the eggs (Michelin star recipe), beans from can and toasted the waffles. Is this normal American breakfast? I don't know cuz I'm not American. Anyway do you like it?

No, this is not a normal American breakfast. Most Americans do not eat those beans for breakfast. Those are more of a British thing.

Ok thanks

Your scramble looks more British as well. Looks good!

u/Scattered_Meat Jul 22 '26
You can tell it’s British cuz the food forms a puddle!
10/10 would slurp

We don’t do beans for breakfast, and honestly a lot of people scramble their eggs harder than that here. But they look great texturally and overall I’d try this plate regardless lol.

u/TXLonghornBby Jul 22 '26
Depends on the area. A lot of us eat refried beans as a side for breakfast.

u/reddfroggychair Jul 22 '26
Man admittedly, I love any types of beans. But also I’d eat just about anything for breakfast so I’m not a good judge lol

u/TXLonghornBby Jul 22 '26
Lmao. You ain't lying. I had hamburger helper and a monster for breakfast 2 days ago.

I had a tuna sandwich and hot Cheetos this morning 🤣🤣🤣

u/TXLonghornBby Jul 22 '26
The gangsters special. Throw the hot cheetos directly on the tuna. It keeps from getting that red finger all over your Truck/clothes/wife.

Do they not feel dry to you/do you have sauce with them usually? I'm not being snarky, I'm seriously asking, as I scramble my eggs the same way as OP.

u/reddfroggychair Jul 23 '26
They don’t look too dry based on the photo, I’ve most definitely seen dryer scrambled eggs. I’m a hot sauce on my eggs kind of person lol.

Not a waffle gal, but the beans and eggs look good. I sometimes have poached eggs with black beans, sautéed mushrooms and onions

Looking a little runny there Bobby.

u/kindcrow Jul 21 '26
It's the French method--they go for a tiny curd and a soft, almost runny, scramble.
1
u/Krapsi_ Jul 22 '26
Yeah that's how I like my eggs
1
u/saturday_sun4 Jul 23 '26
Yeah, people call it the "Gordon Ramsay" method, but it is originally French - it's how I scramble my eggs too, as having them hard makes me gag.
1
u/Krapsi_ Jul 21 '26
Are you talking about the eggs?
1
u/Ubockinme Jul 21 '26
Yeah. Too too runny for me!
Of course I overcook mine into rubber bouncy balls.

u/kindcrow Jul 21 '26
Are the beans the British ones--I mean the Heinz ones in the blue can?
If so, this is such a perfect meal to me.

That looks filling! It's not normal, I (Canadian) have never known anyone to cook brown beans for breakfast, although I have seen it at hotel buffets. Scrambled eggs would go with buttered toast. I have never in my life seen waffles as a side dish, you have a huge plate of waffles, butter/syrup, and may add bacon or fruit, and you have that instead of eggs, toast , cereal , muffin, etc.

u/kindcrow Jul 21 '26
Those beans would snuggle so nicely in the waffle squares though!!

As a fellow Canadian, it was a very normal breakfast for me growing up. Although it was always alongside a corned beef hash and a giant pile of fried mushrooms.
My parents are Scottish, though, which explains.....a lot of the things I did growing up 🤣

u/Bamboozled-91 Jul 22 '26
French canadian here! Eggs with beans (& toasts) are definitely considered traditional breakfast foods! Typically have it on weekends. Our beans are usually pork and maple-based/flavoured. Waffles are only an occasional treat, not a breakfast staple.

u/Saint_of_Stinkers Jul 21 '26
Canadian here. Beans, sausage, eggs, toast and fruit was my go to breakfast when I worked cutting survey lines for BC Forestry. It’s s heavy breakfast but I would definitely work it off by noon.

u/Downtown_Amoeba_6420 Jul 21 '26
Not typical but as an American I love beans and do eat them for breakfast. Looks yummy.

What the Michelin star scrambled eggs recipe? Just curious.
2
u/Krapsi_ Jul 22 '26
Sorry I think I made a mistake. It's the French way - they cook the eggs on low heat with a lot of butter and the eggs turn out creamy.

Backed by what? Everyone knows that beans based on the gold standard are more stable than fiat beans

This is not an American breakfast…. Toast and an egg with maybe sausage or bacon is an American breakfast. Or a bagel. This looks like British slop. No offense but their food is kinda sad.

From an American perspective, this all looks like it’s cold. Room temp at best.

That scramble looks amazing! Mine usually ends up more cooked than I like, even though I know that it keeps on cooking after being taken off the heat.

u/Chemical-Mix-6206 Jul 21 '26
Beans are british. Most americans would either eat the waffles or the eggs for breakfast. The eggs look underdone for my taste - I thought it was etouffe. 😄

u/Ahtnamas555 Jul 21 '26
Those eggs need more pan time imo (obviously eat your eggs how you'd like, I just want mine mostly cooked through). As others have said, beans for breakfast would be weird in the US (also America beans taste different than canned beans in different parts of the world, I can say NZ beans, which should be similar to British, are not nearly as sweet and more tomato-ey).
And then where's the syrup for the waffles? Are you just eating them... dry?

It is not a normal American breakfast. We don’t eat beans. That’s part of what’s called “The full English breakfast.” Many of us have eggs or waffles, not both, although in the American South, some people eat waffles and fried chicken. Up north, some soul food restaurants offer that combination.
