11 Family-Friendly Vegetarian Breakfast Recipes

Maybe it's meatless Monday. Maybe you have a few vegetarians in your family. Maybe it's grocery day tomorrow and you're all out of bacon and breakfast sausage. But if there's one thing you probably have in your fridge, it's eggs. And that's good news, because eggs are the building blocks of an inexpensive, meat-free, protein-rich breakfast that can feed anywhere from one person to an entire family. Here are a few ways to zhuzh them up while keeping your family's morning meal 100% vegetarian.
