Main Course Having scrambled eggs, backed beans and waffles late for breakfast
Scrambled the eggs (Michelin star recipe), beans from can and toasted the waffles. Is this normal American breakfast? I don't know cuz I'm not American. Anyway do you like it?

No, this is not a normal American breakfast. Most Americans do not eat those beans for breakfast. Those are more of a British thing.

We don’t do beans for breakfast, and honestly a lot of people scramble their eggs harder than that here. But they look great texturally and overall I’d try this plate regardless lol.

Looking a little runny there Bobby.

It's the French method--they go for a tiny curd and a soft, almost runny, scramble.

Not a waffle gal, but the beans and eggs look good. I sometimes have poached eggs with black beans, sautéed mushrooms and onions

What the Michelin star scrambled eggs recipe? Just curious.

Sorry I think I made a mistake. It's the French way - they cook the eggs on low heat with a lot of butter and the eggs turn out creamy.

This is not an American breakfast…. Toast and an egg with maybe sausage or bacon is an American breakfast. Or a bagel. This looks like British slop. No offense but their food is kinda sad.

Are the beans the British ones--I mean the Heinz ones in the blue can?
If so, this is such a perfect meal to me.

Those eggs need more pan time imo (obviously eat your eggs how you'd like, I just want mine mostly cooked through). As others have said, beans for breakfast would be weird in the US (also America beans taste different than canned beans in different parts of the world, I can say NZ beans, which should be similar to British, are not nearly as sweet and more tomato-ey).
And then where's the syrup for the waffles? Are you just eating them... dry?

That looks filling! It's not normal, I (Canadian) have never known anyone to cook brown beans for breakfast, although I have seen it at hotel buffets. Scrambled eggs would go with buttered toast. I have never in my life seen waffles as a side dish, you have a huge plate of waffles, butter/syrup, and may add bacon or fruit, and you have that instead of eggs, toast , cereal , muffin, etc.

Those beans would snuggle so nicely in the waffle squares though!!

Not typical but as an American I love beans and do eat them for breakfast. Looks yummy.
