Maryland breakfast recipe

I'm working on a piece for work about Chesapeake-inspired breakfasts. I was wondering if you gals had any breakfast dishes that just scream Maryland that you could share with me. It needs to feature local ingredients, so seafood, scrapple, local produce, etc. So far I have:

- Maryland beaten biscuits and gravy
- Crab cake benedict
- Scrapple breakfast burrito
- Chesapeake Bloody Mary
- Shrimp & grits/Sausage and grits

I want to do some sort of pancake or crepe and then maybe a quiche. Somehow incorporate oysters, rockfish, corn, tomatoes...any ideas would be appreciated!

Re: Maryland breakfast recipe

  • Maybe an MD omlete with feta, crab meat and maybe some spinach or mushrooms?

    Now I'm hungry!

  • scrapple is a maryland thing?

    What about a crab and asparagus quiche?

    There has to be some kind of eggs florentine w/ fried oysters type of dish.

  • Definitely crab quiche!

    For me I always think of Taylor's pork roll but I think that's more of a Jersey thing.

  • Well, Scrapple is made in Delaware, but it's so popular on the Eastern Shore that I think it would be remiss not to include it...

    Thanks, ladies! Keep the ideas coming!
  • Oh how I love scrapple. It's actually a PA Dutch thing. Although it's popular throughout the mid-Atlantic. And I agree it needs to be in an article about MD breakfasts. I had a recipe for crab quiche, and if I can find it I shall send it along. Is this more an eastern shore article? Shrimp and grits isn't really common in the bmore area, is it popular on the eastern shore? Now I want scrapple and hominy for dinner.
  • I don't know about crab cake benedict- but I love a similar dish that I have seen called Eggs Delmarva or Chesapeake Benedict.  

    Here's a photo-

    Poached egg, on top of crab meat, tomato, English muffin, topped w/ Hollandaise. OMG so good!

    I have also seen a crab hash on brunch menus.

  • I would also suggest a crab quiche, but I don't have a recipe...
  • Also you could highlight locally roasted coffee. There are at least 2 Annapolis coffee roasters, plus Zeke's in Baltimore, etc.

     Well, we're an Annapolis/Shore magazine, so I'm more focusing on what's popular in those regions...I've been going back and forth between shrimp and grits and sausage and grits. What do you think?

     

    P.S. Can anyone teach me how to quote on this message board? 

  • I can't really contribute anything. I just wanted to say I'm starving and all this sounds delicious!
  • MissCastle - just hit "quote" to the bottom right of the post that you want to quote :-)

     

    Whenever I have shrimp and grits on the ES I feel like they are trying to pull off "southern" - I dont think it's necessarily a Maryland thing the way crab is, kwim?  But thats just  my impression (and I LOVE shrimp and grits.)
