A Typical Amish Breakfast

There were only a few different options that we would typically have for breakfast when I was growing up. The typical Amish breakfast is what I still enjoy to this day.

It consists of fried eggs, home fries, bacon, coffee soup and fried hominy.

What in the world is Coffee Soup, you ask? Coffee soup consists of strong coffee with a generous amount of cream and sugar. It’s completed by adding crushed saltine crackers. Since I grew up with coffee soup I really love it, but you would probably need to acquire a taste for it.

Mealtime is a happy time. As kids growing up, some of my favorite memories are all of us sitting around the big kitchen table, sharing a meal and each other’s company. My boys are all grown and gone but occasionally they will all come back to mom’s house for an Amish breakfast which is a real treat for them and me too.
