1. Breakfast Skillet with Kielbasa and Eggs

2. Breakfast Semolina Porridge

In general, kasza manna, or semolina, refers to durum wheat middlings that has been purified. Various dessert recipes call for it as a thickening agent, including pasta, couscous, pudding, and ice cream. This recipe uses it to create a creamy and rich porridge. Its ease of digestion, as well as its many nutritional benefits, makes semolina porridge a popular breakfast choice for toddlers and babies.

When spiced up with additional ingredients, it becomes a delicious dish any adult will enjoy. It is possible to choose from dried fruits, nuts, chocolate, and jam among many other options. Nutmeg and cinnamon can also be used to spice things up.

3. Drozdzowki z Serem Polish Cheese Sweet Rolls Recipe

In spite of the fact that Drodówki z Serem is traditionally served as breakfast, the locals enjoy it at any time of the day. Because the dish uses yeast dough, the dough must rise for a certain period of time. After that, form several balls out of the dough and fill them with the cheese mixture.

Your sweet rolls should then be roasted for 15 to 20 minutes at 375 degrees F. After the dough is roasted to a golden brown, you can sprinkle confectioners’ sugar or icing on top.

4. Farmer’s Cheese Toast

You can whip up this 10-minute spread while your potato bread bakes! Farmers’ cheese toast is one of the most popular spring and summer breakfasts in Poland. It consists of a slice of bread slathered in this ridiculously rich and creamy spread.

Toast can be made with any kind of bread (although I highly recommend either sourdough or potato bread). The true star of this dish is the spread. Farmer’s cheese is combined with sour cream, yogurt, radishes, and chives, as well as salt, pepper, and paprika. This is something I’ll happily spread on anything!

5. Jagodzianki Polish Sweet Buns With Blueberries

Polish summers are filled with Jagodzianki, a soft, sweet pastry. What is Jagoda? It is the Polish word for blueberries. This dish is soft on the inside and crisp on the outside, with a rich taste of beautiful blueberries.

The ingredients in this recipe include flour, yeast, milk, and eggs. It is also important to have juicy blueberries, but frozen blueberries will do if you do not have access to fresh blueberries. Moreover, if you do not want to use fresh milk, you can use double cream to make the cake smoother.

6. Milk Soup with Drop Noodles

Polish speakers refer to milk soup as “zao-pah meh-tschnah”. Childhood memories were evoked by the foods, which were once quite popular throughout Central and Eastern Europe. The recipes for this tasty breakfast soup have been lost over time, but it doesn’t hurt to learn them again.

This dish consists mainly of milk, so you don’t have to go to great lengths to obtain it. Almost everything you need can be found at any grocery store. Pasteurized and high-fat milk are better choices than ultra-high-temperature milk.

Mix salt, eggs, and flour together to make the noodle batter. When scooping the batter, use a spoon if you want big drop noodles. The batter may be poured slowly into hot milk and stirred for smaller noodles.

7. Naleśniki: Polish Pancakes

Nalesniki is a typical Polish breakfast or brunch. These pancakes are similar to crepes. Since these sweets are rich and creamy, they can be thin or thick. Pancakes with more crunch are thinner. However, I prefer thick gravy in this recipe.

You can balance or enhance the flavor of the sweet version with your choice of jam, fruit, or berries. It is also possible to use Nutella in this case. With fresh fruit or chocolate/caramel sauce, you can make a tastier breakfast.

Furthermore, you can enjoy sweet Naleśniki as a tasty Polish dessert. If you prefer a savory filling, you may use cream cheese, fresh herbs, onions, etc. The Nale-Niki won’t disappoint – whether they are sweet or savory.

8. Polish Apple Pancakes

You can already make some pretty awesome pancakes without adding apples, but when you do, it gets even better. Traditionally, Polish breakfast involves coating apple slices with pancake batter and frying them until golden. There is a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior to these cookies. There is perfection in every bite.

However, this is not the end of the story. Powdered sugar is then sprinkled on top and sweet and sticky syrup is drizzled on top. My definition of the ultimate breakfast is this. As an alternative, you can also use pears instead of apples in the same recipe. It has a different flavor, but it’s still amazing.

9. Polish Coffee Cake

Yeast-raised bread is mouthwatering and definitely worth trying. With a thick layer of crumb topping, you’ll have a fluffy breakfast cake that’s perfect for the whole family. Having a cup of coffee and enjoying this golden cake is a great way to start the day.

Following the recipe exactly will result in the best crumbly topping. You might end up with drier or dense cookies if you don’t do this. Allow them to cool down when they’re done baking so the tops can get a bit crisp.

10. Polish Donuts

Bringing the list to a close with a bang! What do you think about donuts for breakfast? The Polish donut, known as packzi, is also soft and pillowy, but the filling is richer than that of American donuts. This is because butter, milk, and eggs are used in the dough.

In addition to being filled with jam, chocolate, or custard, donuts can also be glazed, glazed with icing, or dusted with powdered sugar. Despite the fact that they’re not the healthiest option, they definitely make me smile.

11. Polish Easter Bread

Among Polish bread, Bobka is popular. Easter is the time of year when this sweet bread is traditionally served. It’s a sweet bread that comes in many shapes and forms, but at its core, it’s a Bobka. Recipes like this one feature orange-flavored bread studded with raisins and walnuts. Additionally, it has an orange glaze drizzled on top for oomph.

12. Smoked Trout Dip

Poland has historically been known for its fish recipes, and there is a whole chapter in a cookbook dedicated to fish. The smoked fish dip makes a delicious and nutritious breakfast, as well as is extremely quick to prepare. You will need smoked trout as the primary ingredient to prepare this smoked trout dip; canned fish won’t work.

In addition to smoked mackerel, you can use alternative fish, such as tuna, which has a very good flavor. Combined with the rich flavors of mayonnaise and cheese, the taste of smoked meat will appeal to your taste buds. You can have this meal as a lunch or supper since it’s so healthy and full of nutrients.
