This post is a collection of the most popular and traditional Colombian breakfast recipes. The holiday season is approaching so it’s a perfect time of year to plan a party. Choose your favorites and make it a Colombian themed party or make them all for a true Colombian feast. You can find other less traditional breakfast and brunch recipes that I created in the corresponding categories or on the Recipes page.
Here is the list :
Arepas de Huevo (Corn Cakes Filled with Egg)
Huevos Pericos (Scrambled Eggs with Tomato and Onion)
Arepas Rellenas de Queso (Corn Cakes filled with Cheese)
Calentado (Colombian Breakfast)
Arepa con Quesito (Corn Cake with Fresh Cheese)
Pan de Yuca (Colombian Yuca Bread)
Almojábanas (Colombian Cheese Bread)
Avena Colombiana (Oatmeal Drink)
Chocolate Caliente Colombiano (Colombian-Style Hot Chocolate)
Chocolate Caliente en Leche de Coco (Hot Chocolate in Coconut Milk)

Oh my, I was in shock and awe at all the wonderful pictures of breakfast foods, I’d not know where to even begin, but I must try them all at some point, they looked too good to miss. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful foods.

All very delicious except for the changua, which just grosses me out. Fortunately it’s never been offered to me except in Villa de Leyva.

What a great post. I love all these breakfasts that you have here in one place that I can bookmark and come back to! I have both white and yellow arepa flour, Pan and Goya masarepa! I also have the summer off, which means I actually have time to make breakfast during the week! Thanks Erica! I love your recipes!
