The idea of starting your Sunday with an early-morning jog, a bowl of gluten-free granola, and a green juice certainly sounds good in theory. But let’s be honest—when the weekend rolls around it’s all about the biggest, baddest breakfast you can get your hands on. Extra-cheesy mashed potato waffles? Yes, please. Pancakes made with beer and bacon? We’re already going for seconds.

Whether you’re fighting a massive hangover or you just feel like feasting, here are 16 over-the-top breakfast recipes to get you through the weekend.

Morning Bread Pudding with Salted Caramel

Recipe: Smitten Kitchen If there was ever a reason to put your New Year's resolutions aside, morning bread pudding with salted caramel would be it. An intensely rich and custardy brioche casserole would be decadent on its own, but bake it with homemade salted caramel and top it with a dollop of mascarpone and you’ve officially taken breakfast to zero-f**ks-given territory.
Breakfast pizza

Recipe: Smitten Kitchen Behold, the ultimate breakfast pizza. There’s no shame in loving a slice of day-old, cold pizza first thing in the morning, but it’s hard to compete with an egg- and bacon-topped pie with a double dose of cheese fresh from the oven.
Bacon and Beer Griddle Cakes

Recipe: Crepes of Wrath Think about how delicious pancakes are, then picture them made with beer, sprinkled with bacon, and slathered in maple syrup. Oatmeal, who?
Breakfast Burgers with Maple Aioli

Recipe: How Sweet It Is Any excuse to eat a burger before noon works for us. Sandwich a beef patty between an English muffin, then top it with a fried egg, bacon, Havarti cheese, and a drizzle of maple aioli.
Crumpets with Chorizo-Maple Syrup

Recipe: Tasting Table These craggy crumpets are covered in a soy- and Dijon mustard-spiked chorizo maple syrup, making them the perfect Sunday morning breakfast.
Cinnamon Roll Baked Doughnuts

Recipe: Top With Cinnamon What happens when you combine two of the best breakfast pastries? Cinnamon-roll doughnuts is the answer. Covered in cinnamon and chopped pecans, and glazed with cream-cheese frosting, this dish is over-the-top in all the best ways.
Mashed potato cheddar and chive waffles

Recipe: Joy the Baker Joy the Baker has done it again. This time, she's won the DNGAF breakfast game with mashed-potato waffles. Scoops of chive mashed potatoes are pressed into a waffle iron before being topped with loads of melted cheddar cheese. The result is an unconventional take on a breakfast classic.
Buttermilk Pancakes with Whipped Coconut Cream and Blueberry Maple Syrup

Recipe: Sassy Kitchen A stack of buttermilk, poppyseed, and sorghum pancakes become even more exciting when covered with a heaping spoonful of airy coconut cream, as well as blueberry maple syrup.
Croque Madame

Recipe: Alexandra's Kitchen Spruce up a classic Gruyère-laden Croque Madame with a perfectly poached egg and loads of thyme-flecked béchamel.
Steak and Eggs with Smoked Paprika

Recipe: Serious Eats A touch of smoked paprika takes this classic protein-packed dish to new heights. Spicy, salty, and extra hearty, steak and eggs has never looked this good.
Grits with Red Eye Gravy, Country Ham, and a Fried Egg

Recipe: Food 52 Here’s a gussied-up take on a classic Southern-style dish. Corn grits are cooked in goat’s milk for extra creaminess before being mixed with goat cheese and a wisp of honey. Add a few slices of crisped country ham, a fried egg, and drizzle with ample coffee-infused gravy. Yeah, you heard right—caffeine in the gravy!
Monkey Bread

Recipe: The Tart Tart Think about granola with Greek yogurt. Now think about a freshly-baked monkey bread drenched in icing. There's just no comparison. It’s basically a cake made of sweet and sticky doughnut holes sprinkled with cinnamon.
Raspberry Nutella Stuffed French Toast

Recipe: Ring Finger Tan Line Decadent brunches don’t need to be too time-consuming. Just top slices of challah French toast with raspberry jam, Nutella, and whipped cream, and call it a day.
Nutella-Stuffed Croissant French Toast

Recipe: Coconuts & Cardamom For another take on French toast, swap out challah for a croissant. This extra-flakey version is enveloped in whipped cream and banana slices, sprinkled with toasted coconut flakes, and dusted in chocolate shavings.
Chicken-and-Waffle Sandwiches with Bacon, Cheddar, and Green Onion

Recipe: The Candid Appetite This mammoth sandwich is guaranteed to put every other chicken-and-waffle dish to shame. Fried chicken, along with all the makings of a BLT, are doused in maple mustard before being sandwiched between two cheddar waffles. Heart attack or heaven? You decide.
Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

Recipe: Garden and Gun Nothing cures a hangover like freshly-baked, flaky biscuits smothered in sausage gravy.
