Have I ever told you that breakfast is my favorite meal of the day?
Because it is, it really is. But…I should clarify. I’m talking about ‘the works’ kind of breakfast. You know, the restaurant type meals, where you get eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, pancakes…all that good stuff. Although I love cereal, yogurt, and smoothies for breakfast, it doesn’t rank up there in my ‘favorite meal’ category.
But breakfast from a restaurant? Yes, please!
Whenever the hubster and I can’t decide where to go for dinner, I always suggest going out for breakfast somewhere, as there are a few Greek diner type restaurants near us that serve breakfast all day. And that always hits the spot!
But, I think I’ve found my new favorite kind of breakfast that you can make at home, and still has that restaurant quality appeal!

There’s just something about scrambled eggs that keeps me coming back for more. Especially when it’s this Southwest Scramble Tostada. Fluffy eggs tossed with fresh veggies and cheese? Sign me up!
The flavor combination is incredible, and the crunchiness from the tostada puts a unique spin on regular eggs. If you’ve never had your eggs on a tostada before, now is the time to start! And to jazz up these tostadas even more, top the eggs with salsa, sour cream, or cilantro. It’ll really bring out that southwest flair!
And the best part about this breakfast is that it’s so easy to customize! Don’t like onions or peppers? Leave it out! Want to add in some black beans? Go ahead. The possibilities are endless!
So, if you’re stuck in the same ‘ole breakfast routine, or just want to make your breakfast (or dinner) stand out, this Southwest Scramble Tostada was made for you. Simple to make and even better to eat, you’ll love the zesty flavors and irresistible taste!

I do love a full on breakfast and usually only have something like that on the weekend. I actually go to bed and look forward to waking up to eat, lol :D This tostada looks so good, Gayle and love the textures going on. It's lots to it, but also healthy too, which I love. Plus, like you said, it's customizable so that's always a good thing :) Bet this would be lovely if friends were over and there was a breakfast bar with all kinds of toppings that people could pick from. Pinned, of course. Hope you have a fantastic week!-
Gayle says
Yes! It's always nice to look forward to breakfast the next day! Thanks so much for the tostada love and pin, friend!

Okay, if I hear one more word about "the works" or see another droolworthy photo of your incredible tostadas, I'm gonna faint from hunger!!! I'm so with you on breakfast being the best meal of the day! It's soooo tasty and great, really any time of the day (but especially nighttime for some odd reason lol). Love that you and the hubster get to go to diners that serve it all day long. Pinning this recipe, of course! :)-
