Grey’s Anatomy is known for its (often induced) twists and turns, as well as its lovable characters. Here are some breakfast options for you based on your favorite Grey’s doctors: all of which are Shonda Rhimes approved.
Meredith Grey: French Toast
It’s easily the most classic and fool-proof breakfast out there. If you value Meredith Grey as much as I do, you’re truly someone who can appreciate how valuable consistency is. Besides being utterly delicious, French Toast is the perfect wholesome breakfast and something that can be shared with your “twisted sisters,” family, and alike.
Alex Karev: Breakfast Sandwich
The breakfast sandwich is probably one of the most utilitarian breakfast options out there. It’s hearty, portable, and tastes much better when eaten after a long night out. If Karev is your favorite doctor, chances are that you appreciate someone who is chaotic at times, but also a good soul at heart.
Christina Yang: Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, and a Side of Toast
Christina Yang is perhaps the most honest and blunt character in Grey’s Anatomy history, so it only seems fitting that she would also eat a very simple and straight-to-the-point breakfast.

Miranda Bailey: Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
Although Bailey gives off the impression that she’s very cold at times, she really is one of the warmest and most (dare I say) motherly characters on the show. These cinnamon rolls are the perfect addition to any cozy, nostalgic Sunday brunch.
Derek Shepard: Bagels, Cream Cheese, and Lox
Why do I have the weird feeling that Dr. McDreamy would be all-over the smoked salmon craze?
Owen Hunt: Eggs Benedict
Complete with a warm english muffin, poached eggs, and mountain of hollandaise! Like eggs benny, Hunt is a character filled with complexity; it makes more sense when it’s just together rather than in separate parts.
Callie Torres: Croissants
Life’s short, so why not spend it experimenting with different types of pastries? Callie Torres puts herself out there, which makes her an exceptional doctor. Hopefully you’ll find that trying new recipes will make you a better baker!

Mark Sloan: Veggie Omlette
It’s the lighter version of a breakfast classic! If you love McSteamy, you admire others who are compassionate, lighthearted, and jovial. This is a fresh, wholesome option for anyone looking to start their day on the right foot.
Arizona Robbins: Quiche
Like Doctor Robbins, quiche is substantive, rich, and full of flavor. You can include veggies, meats, or toppings of your choice!

Teddy Altman: Avocado Toast
Teddy gives off major Gweneth Paltrow ~vibes~ so I see nothing less fitting that a warm slice of sourdough topped with avo-mash and a sprinkle of spice.
Izzy Stevens: Blueberry Muffins
Izzy Stevens has quite the affinity for baking!
George O’Malley: Peanut Butter Toast and Fruit
And I’m not just saying that because George is my all-time favorite Grey’s character, but because PB toast resonates a sense of softness and warmth. It’s also impossible to go wrong with something like peanut butter for breakfast!
Lexie Grey: Donuts
Lexie was arguably one of the kindest and happiest doctors at Grey Sloan, so it’s only fitting that she would want you to enjoy something as sweet as her.
April Kepner: Chicken and Waffles
April Kepner comes off as being a very soft character, but she actually has a powerful and complex role in the hospital ecosystem. Although it seems like her romantic life is all over the place, it makes for good, chaotic entertainment for Grey’s fans. Similarly, chicken and waffles gives off the impression that it’s chaotic, but in a very good way.
Maggie Pierce: Smoothie Bowl
Maggie is one of Grey Sloan’s newest doctors, but she packs a punch. She comes into every operating room with a sense of unmistakable confidence and prowess. Surely, a smoothie bowl, made with your favorite berries, granola, nuts, and seeds, will give you the fuel needed to work through adversity and be the best you can be.
Richard Weber: Pancakes
Weber is tried-and-true as a character, and what’s more iconic than a stack of pancakes?

Amelia Shephard: Yogurt Parfait
Amelia has a complicated and intense backstory, so you could say she’s very ~layered~.
Jackson Avery: Toad-in-a-Hole
This breakfast might feel a little like you’re doing plastic surgery! And if it doesn’t turn out well, you might consider sticking with spatulas over scalpels.
