Share your easy breakfast recipes and ideas

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
Lately, we've been having family breakfast instead of family dinner, because of the kids' activities at night. I do like sitting down with everyone in the morning, but I need new ideas that are easy to prepare in the morning.

Here's one I found:

Baked Oatmeal

My version of this is

3 cups oatmeal
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup fat (butter, veg oil, coconut oil)
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tbsp baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Prepare the night before and leave in the fridge. In the morning, oven to 350, cooks for about 30 mins.

We also like breakfast pizza (pizza crust, scrambled eggs, veggies, meat, cheese). This can also be done the night before and then popped in the oven. I put the fixins on the crust and then pour the eggs over it all right before going in the oven.

French toast is easy, and older ds could probably help.
Bagels and fruit
Fruit muffins

Quiche or frittata makes a lovely breakfast, hot or cold.
For a hot cereal, I love this recipe. I make it without the added sugar, and it lends itself to all sorts of different grain combinations.
During the winter, there's nothing like hot biscuits, eggs and gravy for breakfast.

But, during the summer, when it's too hot to turn on the oven every morning, stove top or cold dishes would by my preference... the old stand-bys of pancakes, waffles, french toast, obviously. But then there's also make-aheads eaten cold like bread pudding, egg custard, granola and yogurt. At this time of year, all breakfasts are accompanied by fresh fruit here. Usually sliced chilled melon, sometimes watermelon juice (just stick a seedless melon in the blender). Any muffin/quick bread with cheese.

And if I'm feeling particularly indulgent, I'll bake myself an almond pound cake - which is a cream cheese / egg base with ground almonds instead of flour. It's full of healthy fats and protein and makes a great cold breakfast - while feeling completely indulgent. Sometimes I'll eat it with cheese, sometimes I'll make a PB sandwich with it.

Oatmeal muffins http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/oatmealmuffins.htm I use 1/4 cup of brown sugar, yogurt, add a bit of vanilla and craisins. Delicious and hearty. Fruit and yogurt with granola. I'm a big fan of scrambling eggs with spinach, onions, tomatoes and feta. Crepes. I've never made them, but know they are super delicious for breakfast. Which reminds me...I think I'm going to try and make them this week.

We are gluten-free here, and love breakfast.

Dd and I often eat hot cereal -- Scottish oats or rice cereal (I love grits, but she won't eat them.)

I like to make breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs, salsa, cilantro, avocado, cheese, sour cream, refried beans, lettuce, diced tomato, whatever you like.

We love huevos rancheros here. You can make refried beans in advance. Warm corn tortillas topped with fried eggs, refried beans, and all the fixings mentioned above.

I also like rice and vegetables with eggs.

Pancakes with yogurt and fruit.

Dinner is good for breakfast...soup, lasagna, etc.

Ooh, salad with lots of stuff, mixed greens, steamed beets, chevre and poached or fried eggs, for example.
