Oatmeal. Cheap, tasty, easy and healthy! I buy the quick oats by the 5lb box, super cheap and takes forever to go through. Somehow having a breakfast that takes a few minutes to cook actually makes me get out of bed on time.

I throw in nuts (almonds, walnuts or pecans) and raisins, frozen blueberries, strawberries or other fruit and about a tablespoon of wheatgerm.

As mentioned, it's cheap and easy, but they key thing for me is that I can eat it before a swim workout and not have my stomach go into revolt.

eggs benedict



frittata



omelettes



huevos rancheros = fried eggs with some refried beans & salsa



"mexican breakfast lasagne" = quiche with multiple layers of tortilla



latkes with fried eggs & salsa



english breakfast = baked beans & sausages

breakfast pizza = fritatta on bread dough crust



fritatta muffins w/homemade bread dough



even leftovers from the night before. i've quite happily eaten a can of salmon over asparagus, with a few drops of lemon juice and a few good grinds of fresh pepper for breakfast throw it all in the microwave for 2mins to steam the asparagus and heat the fish.

cheers!

Don't call it crazy until you try it.... but super cheap. And Easy. And GOOD!

Oatmeal, with an egg cooked in, with salsa and shredded cheese. I top it with Franks. :D

Do you put a raw egg in with the oatmeal and microwave it together?? ok, ok...i see where this is going, scrambled oatmeal?.... you dont just crack the egg and let it be all runny on the oats right?
thinking about this right now..you might be on to something?

If you crack an egg on super hot oatmeal and stir it in, it will cook. Most Japanese people eat hot rice with an egg on top for breakfast!

Holy cow, that looks good. All of it! It's lunch time here.

Wow! That all looks AMAZING! Guess I need to learn to cook (I have been known to burn water, ahem.)
Thanks for the ideas, I'll put these to good use as of tomorrow morning. I bet the kids will even eat most of this!

I like to eat sweet potatoes for breakfast (or any meal/snack). I eat them hot or cold. Just stick them in them microwave fro 5 minutes or so. top with cinnamon, peanut butter, almond butter, or yogurt.

you can cook them then slice them into 3/4 inch or so rounds and just eat them with your fingers.

I guess it depends if you're doing it in the microwave or on the stove...

On the stove, I usually just stir an egg in near the end. The other posters are right though, if you do it in the microwave you can use the heat of the oats to cook the egg. I'm always a little skeeved out by undercooked eggs though so I usually crack the egg in with a minute and a half left on the microwave timer.

I said cheese/salsa/hot sauce, but you can totally take it any direction you want. I've made a version with soy sauce, scallions, and mushrooms before too! I guess it's essentially just replacing rice with oatmeal. :D

Yummmm that frittata on top (pictured next to the bacon) looks amazing. Do you mind sharing the recipe?!

You said you don't want sweet stuff. I am not a fan of solid food at breakfast --- my breakfast is often a luna bar pre workout, and then 16 oz chocolate soymilk after. I'll have an apple midmorning.

If it were a short workout, I'd do 8 oz chocolate soymilk mixed with 8 oz unsweetened to cut the sugar in it.

crack about 6 eggs (for 9" frittata) into a bowl and beat with fork, adding a splash of milk (i use about 1/4 cup almond milk), a dash of salt, and a few good grinds of fresh pepper.

add chopped veggies - that particular one had red peppers, mushrooms and asparagus. a couple of handfuls should be plenty.

pour it all into a sprayed/greased pie plate and bake for ~45mins at ~375f. it'll be slightly browned on top, and should have pulled away from the sides a bit.

feel free to modify ingredients as you like - process is pretty much the same for all quiche/frittata-type things shown. if you lay a tortilla in the pie plate before pouring in the egg mixture, then add another on top with salsa, you get the mexican breakfast pita. if you put a layer of bread dough in the pie plate before adding the egg mix, you get breakfast pizza. cheese is awesome in all of them, but doesn't play well with me.

cheers!

another thing that I eat are baked oatmeal muffins.

1 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup applesauce, 2 eggs, 1 cup dried fruits/chopped nuts mix and bake until done at 400 degrees.

You can add in stevia, vanilla, cinnamon, or other things for flavor. I usually make a couple batches then keep them in the fridge and just grab 1-2 when hungry.

Ghia Girl, do I remember you having a vegan brownie recipe, somehere? or did I make that up?

crap, i just realized i gave the wrong recipe for frittata (i'm making one right now) - you can do the "bake in pie plate" method, and it'll be a fine crustless quiche, but to properly be frittata:

- beat eggs in bowl
- grease and pre-heat oven-safe skillet on stove top @ medium-low
- lightly sautee veggies in skillet
- pour beaten eggs over veggies and let cook undisturbed for a few minutes
- place skillet under broiler for a few minutes until top is set and browned.

spinach, asparagus and king oyster, cremini & white mushrooms this morning.

cheers!

"Go yell at an M&M"

So, this recipe for a crustless quiche then? Add in the tortillas for the Mexican breakfast quiche? And then the skillet recipe is the true recipe for the frittata?
