Who says nachos can't be for breakfast? Not us, that's for sure! These breakfast nachos are layered with everyone's favourite filling breakfast item - eggs. They are then loaded with black beans for an added protein boost, a little melted cheese, salsa and guacamole. It's basically classic nachos, but breakfastised (that is totally a word now).
If you are stuck in a breakfast rut, then this is going to pull you straight out of it. Move aside pancakes and waffles (actually, please don't, we still love you) and hello nachos.
We would would eat Mexican for breakfast, lunch and dinner if we could and this recipe is getting us one step closer to realising that dream.

What to Put on Nachos
As these are breakfast nachos, eggs are the star here. We have added some beans and cheese and then salsa and guac because they just wouldn't be nachos without them. But, these are easy to adapt with other breakfast items.
You could add cooked chopped bacon and sausages, or use vegetarian versions. You could add mushrooms, hash browns or home fries.
Give these nachos a green boost by mixing some spinach into the eggs.
Extra Tips
- Use a mature cheddar, as the stronger flavour means that you can use less of it.
- Give these nachos a green boost by cooking some spinach into the scrambled eggs.
- You could add cooked bacon and sausage to them too.

We wouldn't recommend reheating these nachos, but luckily these only take a few minutes to put together, so try to make them from fresh.

The amount of times I have ordered avocado the morning after drinking and said "these are my healthy fats" is countless Next time I'll have to make these breakfast nachos! (By the way, love the platter!)
Leta says
This looks good, but I'm not sure I could face it for breakfast! Something simpler and plainer, usually vaguely sweet with fruit, is my choice. I know lots of people do love eggs in the morning though.
