11 breakfasts you should be eating for dinner

We're calling it: Brinner (breakfast for dinner) is the ultimate throw-together meal. So before you go reaching for the takeaway menu, reassess the pantry. Eggs? Why not a creamy eggs benedict, or hearty cheesy sausage bake? Loaf of crispy bread? Load it up for a gooey croque-monsieur, or use it to top nourishing baked beans and tomato pots. And why not whip up a stack of pancakes for dinner? They'll taste even better once the sun goes down.
