When it comes to celebrating a partner and/or one's own dad on Father's Day, we usually tend to think in terms of an out-of-this-world morning meal. Oh, sure, we could fire up the grill or go out for a fancy dinner, but there is something about breakfast (or, if he gets to sleep in a bit, brunch) that hits that perfectly relaxing, summer holiday note. It doesn't hurt that some of the most decadent, hearty dishes that many dads tend to love are breakfast foods.

Whether they dig meat, are vegan, or have a killer sweet tooth, there is a perfect, hearty breakfast idea for any dad. A lot of these recipes include the traditional ingredients of sausage, eggs, bacon, and potatoes. However, some are super creative and incorporate other ingredients we may not use for a typical breakfast.

Serving breakfast or brunch is always a nice gesture and he will probably be thrilled to try one of these amazing dishes on his special day. And even if a family already has Father's Day plans, these recipes are great to try any weekend. Hopefully the whole family can enjoy some of these. (I know I want to try them all.) 

Here are 25 OMG-worthy, filling recipes that would be perfect for a Father's Day breakfast -- and maybe even after dad's day is over.
