Sporked Awards: Best Breakfast Food

Rise and shine, my dudes. Set down that box of cereal—we found better breakfast options in our taste tests this year. In 2024, we ate our way through innumerable breakfast burritos, frozen pancakes, and French toast sticks, but a couple of products kept giving us something to wake up for. They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I’m pretty sure that means this is the most essential info you will absorb this year. Wild, right?

Banquet Sausage & Gravy Deep Dish

I’m a freak for sausage gravy. One of the best things about growing up in the South is that sausage gravy is a true breakfast staple—you’ll even find it on the menu at fast food joints, like Hardees and Krystal. It’s pretty easy to make, but c’maaan—you’re not going to make it all the time. That’s where this brilliant frozen breakfast comes in. It’s literally just a Banquet pot pie crust (which we love) filled with sausage gravy. That’s it. It’s warm, sloppy, and satisfying. If heart disease didn’t run in my family, I would seriously eat this every day. If you and your arteries are young, hale, and hearty, give this a shot!

Winner!

Ikea Vafflor Waffles

There are all sorts of treasures in the Ikea grocery section. Sure, you’re gonna grab some frozen meatballs and a packet of that yummy gravy, but don’t snooze on these heart-shaped waffles. These are not your average, everyday frozen waffles. They’re chewy and a bit eggy. They’re savory rather than sweet. Sure, you can still top them with lingonberry jelly or maple syrup, but you can also top them with creme fraiche and caviar and have yourself a nice little fancy-boy morning. Or use them as the “bread” in a breakfast sandwich made with soft-scrambled eggs and chives. The possibilities are endless! We love these things.
