12 Canned Goods to Make Delicious and Quick Breakfasts
Breakfast is often labeled as the most important meal of the day. Despite this, only 35% of Americans eat it every day of the week, according to a 2022 poll conducted by Statista. Time constraints are one of the main reasons why people skip breakfast; many people simply don't have enough time to prepare and eat delicious and healthy breakfasts every morning. Fortunately, canned foods offer a means of producing excellent breakfasts in short periods of time.
Canned foods are often stigmatized. They are viewed as highly processed and nutritionally poor. For these reasons, numerous members of the public avoid canned products, especially when it comes to breakfast. This is a mistake though, as canned foods are often more nutritious and less processed than many widely popular breakfast foods including sweet cereals. Aside from also being cheaper, canned foods can also be prepared just as quickly as other popular breakfast foods making them a perfect way to start your day.
1. Refried Beans
While a staple of Mexican breakfasts, refried beans are not a popular breakfast food in most areas of the United States. This is a shame because they are a healthy, quick to prepare food that forms a part of several exceptional breakfast dishes, including huevos rancheros. This dish sees refried beans paired alongside fried eggs, corn tortillas, and salsa. Happily, using canned refried beans means the cooking time associated with the breakfast is incredibly short; all you have to do is heat up the beans while you fry the eggs. In other words, this delightful breakfast will be ready in a handful of minutes. Canned refried beans can also be used to make molletes mexicanos, a kind of open-faced sandwich that's topped with refried beans, cheese, and pico de gallo. This is another excellent, quick breakfast dish that gains a great deal of nutritional value thanks to the inclusion of canned refried beans. Beans are known for being high in both fiber and protein. As a result, they are recommended by the American Heart Association as part of a healthy diet.
2. Canned Tomatoes
High-quality canned tomatoes are incredibly versatile and are regularly used to make both lunches and dinners. However, they are not often used to make breakfast. There is no reason they shouldn't be; numerous brands are available across the country and are just as suited to the first meal of the day as they are the latter two. Canned tomatoes make an exceptional base for satisfying breakfast dishes including shakshuka. This North African dish sees eggs poached in a spicy tomato base that canned tomatoes are perfect for. Aside from requiring less prep than fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes enable people to make breakfast dishes like shakshuka outside of tomato season with no discernible drop in quality. As high-quality canned tomatoes are delicious when eaten raw, they make a perfect topping for toast. The best example of this is the Spanish breakfast dish pan con tomate. In this dish, chopped or grated canned tomatoes are smeared across a piece of toast before being topped with oil, salt, and pepper. This is a healthy, fresh, and vibrant way to start the day.
3. Canned Soup
Although it's rarely eaten for breakfast in the United States, soup is a popular breakfast in many countries, including Japan, Türkiye, and Colombia. The breakfast soups enjoyed in these countries include Türkiye's lentil-packed ezogelin and Japan's famed miso. While these two soups are available in the US, often in pouch form, just about any canned soup makes for a wonderful breakfast. The benefits of eating canned soup for breakfast were highlighted by one user on Reddit: "I usually eat one of those Campbell's chunky soups from the can for breakfast. It does sound weird at first, but most of them are bland enough to be easy to eat in the morning [...] and are generally healthier than your average European/American breakfast food." This comment touches on an important part of canned soup's appeal; it is a product that's easily eaten by those who normally eschew breakfast because it's less heavy on the stomach than many other breakfast foods. Aside from this important benefit, canned soups are also incredibly quick to prepare as they only require heating. Add to this the low price point and it's not difficult to see why canned soup is seen by some people as the perfect breakfast food.
4. Canned Biscuits
Biscuits have been a part of the American diet since before the United States was founded. They remain an incredibly popular food today, although the time it takes to prepare them sees few people enjoying them on a weekday morning. The main attraction of canned biscuit products is that they enable people to enjoy this familiar, indulgent food even on mornings where they have little time. This is thanks to the biscuit dough being pre-made and pre-portioned. All you have to do is bake them in the oven. Quick to bake, they form the basis of a wonderful, easy, and indulgent breakfast as the following review posted to Walmart reveals: "Great for breakfast sandwiches! Easy to prepare with just 15 minutes in a 350-degree oven. Add eggs, cheese and bacon
