We've put together a quick list of tasty vegetarian breakfasts with nary a bowl of oatmeal or smoothie glass in sight. Keep reading to find a delicious recipe that might turn your morning routine around.
1 . Spiralized potato in an egg hole
You've never had eggs like this for breakfast before!

The sweet and savory mix is the perfect way to start out your morning. Check out the full recipe from Eat the Gains.
