It seems like lately, breakfast itself is a “trend,” with chefs from coast-to-coast (and even here in Austin) flexing their creative muscle at the first meal of the day — and the blogosphere is equally obsessed. On my last trip to LA, it felt like every meal presented me with options that were vegan, heirloom, adaptogenic, or promised to give me herb-driven superpowers, and it got me thinking: what are the dishes that will replace avocado toast as the queen of Instagram breakfast? I looked back over some of my standout restaurant breakfasts of the past few months, then paired them up with recipes I’ve been filing from around the web, and came up with 8 that you’re gonna want to try, stat. Keep scrolling and behold the buzziest breakfast trends of 2017.

Haha, yes! This post is for you, Natalie! 😉
I adore avocado, but too am not a fan of avocado toast. Kind of like fingernails on chalkboards.
One of my favorite breakfasts is what I call Bacon, Eggs &Toast Salad, my take on Salade Lyonnaise – arugula with a mustardy vinaigrette topped with crumbled bacon, toasty, buttery croutons and a poached egg. It is such a lovely way to start the day.
honey hi looks like heaven on earth!!
The cookies for breakfast shot actually remind me of anzac cookies. An Australian tradition.
As usual these amazing shots make me want to go and bake.
