Narrowing down the list was a tough job, but after much deliberation, here are @BlackGirlsinTraderJoes’s favorite ways (frozen, fresh, and everything in between) to break my fast.

Mama’s Biscuits Blueberry Lemon Cream, $4.99

These buttery, flaky blueberry biscuits can be found in the frozen section and give you that homemade feel, with less than half of the work.

Shredded Potato Hash Browns, $1.79

These get crispy super easily, making them a great side to a scramble, but they also make a great addition to a cheesy egg bake.

Meatless Breakfast Patties, $3.29

The first time I brought these meatless breakfast patties home was an accident. Out of curiosity, I tried them and ended up being pleasantly surprised — and now they are a favorite!

Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese Quiche, $2.29

These miniature quiches have the flakiest crust, and the egg center is filled with lots of cheddar. The best part: They go right into the microwave.

Shakshuka Starter, $1.99 

You’ve probably seen this dish of spiced peppers and stewed tomatoes on a brunch menu before, but Trader Joe’s makes it easy to make at home. Just add eggs!

Pancake Bread, $3.99 

Whenever I have this decadent crumb-topped bread, I always find myself going back to cut “just another sliver.” It’s bread, but it really does taste just like buttermilk pancakes!

Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage, $3.99

I’ll never forget throwing this sweet-and-savory breakfast sausage into my cart. It’s now a must-have in my house.

Sliced French Brioche, $3.99

I always, always, always pick up a loaf of this high-quality bread every time I shop at TJ’s. It’s so pillowy and eggy and it’s the only bread I use to make French toast.

Almond Butter Chia Overnight Oats, $2.29

There’s no prep necessary and you can eat them straight out of the fridge.

Chocolate Chip Chewy Coated Granola Bars, $2.29

The best part about these is the high-quality chocolate chips throughout — and there are a lot in each bar.
