Why we love this recipe

OK, let’s talk ramen. You know, the noodles that come in the crackly package with that little flavor packet.

I always have a packet or two around, and no, it is not the best thing in the world for you, but it is delicious comfort food to the max, and a little ramen a few times a year is also not the worst.

And sometimes you want to indulge in a little naughtiness for breakfast!

Which brings me to the answer to this very important question:

Can I eat ramen for breakfast?

Yes! Yes you can!

And while you can of course eat it plain, if this is going to be one of the rare times that you throw caution to the wind and eat ramen, I have a whole bunch of suggestions for you.

What can I add to my ramen to make it better?

In the case of the best breakfast ramen I know, my goal was to do the ramen version of a bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, with the ramen playing the part of the roll.

And, because this recipe calls for adding bacon, egg and cheese, we are going to split one ramen package between two servings, so while it still won’t be anything approaching health food, it’s still kinda angelic, ramen-wise!

Ingredients you need to make this recipe

Breakfast Ramen Ingredients
  • Ramen Noodles
  • Bacon
  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Cheddar Cheese

Here’s how you make the best breakfast ramen

(Scroll down for the handy complete printable recipe with nutrition info!)

STEP 1: Get yourself a package of chicken flavored ramen – the 3 ounce kind with the flavor packet – and cook up the noodles according to the package directions, but don’t add that flavor packet.

YET.

STEP 2: When the noodles are done, quickly drain and rinse them with cold water so they stop cooking. Otherwise you will have ramen mush, and nobody wants that.

STEP 3: Cook up a couple pieces of chopped bacon, scoop it out, but leave those all-important drippings in the skillet.

STEP 4: Next, whisk up a couple of eggs, some milk, a little shredded cheese and yes, that flavor packet and add it to the skillet with the drippings.

STEP 5: Add the noodles and cook it all up over medium heat, tossing it gently until the eggs are just set.

More tips for making the best breakfast ramen

Where can I find ramen?

It’s in the soup section of your grocery store, just waiting for you to come get it! You want the 3 ounce packet size.

Do I have to get the chicken flavor?

Nope! If you are more into the beef or shrimp flavors, go for it!

Can I leave out the flavor packet?

I hear you – sometimes the naughty flavor packet gets a bad rap, and if you want to leave it out you can. (I personally can never resist it!). You’ll probably want to taste and add salt and pepper before you serve it up, just to give it a little seasoning.

Have a question I didn’t cover?

Leave your question in the comments section below and I will get back to you pronto!

I like to divide it among two bowls and dramatically pile the bacon on top, but you can mix the bacon into the noodles if you want to.

Description

Move your favorite lunch noodles earlier in the day with this speedy recipe for the best breakfast ramen you’ve ever tasted!


Ingredients

  • 1 three ounce package chicken flavored ramen with flavor packet
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar

Instructions

  1. Cook ramen according to package directions, but don’t add the flavor packet. Drain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking.
  2. Cook bacon in a large deep skillet until crisp. Scoop out and drain on paper towels, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
  3. Whisk the eggs, the milk, the cheese and the flavor packet together and add to the skillet. Pour in the noodles and toss until the eggs are just set and take off the heat.
  4. Divide among two bowls, scatter bacon on top and serve!

Notes

 

Ramen: These addictive squiggly noodles cook up in about three minutes, and can be found in the soup aisle of your supermarket.

Bacon: We love thick-cut bacon for this recipe, but you can use whatever you have on hand (yes, even turkey bacon!)

Cheese: Shredded cheddar is our favorite for this ramen, but any melty cheese will work – Monterey Jack, Swiss and so on.

    This looks like a delicious way to start the day. I just added ramen to my Instacart order – haven’t been in a grocery store in a year & sure do miss it. Thanks for the recipe!

      Hi Martha! I’m with you on the grocery store – I haven’t been either, and while I am so grateful to the Instacart folks for doing my shopping, I really miss picking things out myself, especially the produce and the meat. Soon, hopefully! Meantime, I hope you love this breakfast ramen as much as we do (especially that little pile of bacon on the top!) xoxo
