5 Benefits of Eating Breakfast for Dinner
Breakfast for dinner (aka – Brinner) is one of the oldest meal substitutes in the books! We’ve all done it, and we all love it.

Breakfast foods are delicious, fast, affordable and can even be healthy. So, there’s no guilt in having it twice in one day. That’s why we’re such strong advocates for the second breakfast, and it’s why we’re sharing these five benefits of eating breakfast for dinner with you:
Breakfast is Quick and Easy
Breakfast is meant to be quick and easy. After all, it’s called break-fast for a reason, right? For those late nights coming home when you don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen, breakfast is the perfect go-to meal. Whether you just whip up some eggs, cereal, or even French toast, a good breakfast meal can be put together in a matter of minutes freeing you of the stress of cooking and giving you more time to relax.
Breakfast is Cost-Effective!
Who doesn’t love a delicious meal on the cheap? No one! Breakfast foods and ingredients are generally much cheaper than dinner ingredients. For example, eggs are cheap, easy and incredibly versatile. You can make everything from a tasty omelette, to eggs Benedict, to poached eggs on avocado toast, to fried eggs, to a frittata, and the list goes on and on.
Breakfast is a great alternative for those times when you’re on a budget and stuck in a food rut where you just can’t think of anything creative to make a more sophisticated meal. It’s also great when you just haven’t had time to go to the store to gather many ingredients. Most of us can always count on having at least your basic breakfast prep items on-hand in the kitchen.
You Can Have Both Sweet and Savory.
There is this preconceived notion that dinners should be heavier, savory meals. Well, we say, that’s just not true. For those with a bit more of a sweet tooth, breakfast for dinner is the perfect excuse for a sweet meal. Even if you still can’t decide which you’d prefer, no problem! Combine some cinnamon French toast with Canadian bacon and eggs for the perfect combination of savory and sweet.
Breakfast Is Healthy.
The misconception about breakfast foods is that they’re mostly unhealthy – just pancakes and syrup, sugar on top of sugar. This simply doesn’t have to be the case. Breakfast can be a very healthy meal and a lighter alternative to the traditional larger dinner meals you might make any other night of the week. For example, you can combine the protein that’s packed into eggs with the healthy fats in avocados and make a very beneficial meal. Similarly, if you’re craving something with more sweetness, try some whole grain pancakes topped with honey and fresh fruits.
Breakfast for Dinner is An Excuse to Have the Best Meal Twice in One Day
Finally, whether for breakfast, brunch, or brinner, breakfast, in our opinion, is the best meal of the day! Plus, it’s considered to be the most important meal of the day, so why not enjoy it twice? It’s a meal that can be incredibly versatile, from savory omelettes and frittatas, to sweet pancakes and crepes, and everything in between. You can make it your own with just a few simple ingredients and a few spare minutes, and voila! A perfectly delicious meal is ready to be served.
For all of those times when you’re craving breakfast for dinner but don’t want to do the cooking, let us do it for you! Come into one of our sit-down locations or order takeout for the ultimate indulgence in breakfast for dinner. Chicago Waffles serves up an incredible menu of breakfast items all day long. Dig in!
