Ham and cheese kolaches.

Sausage, with or without jalapeno and or cheese, is also common.

They freeze very well. Thaw a few the night before and bake (or air fry) in the morning.

Similarly, breakfast sandwiches or burritos. They do not have to include eggs.

Sweet potato hash with sausage. (Also onion and zucchini).

Soup, usually a chicken and corn chowder lately

Tartine/ open faced melt. (Gf bread for me, butter, cheese, turkey, tomato)

Avocado toast with turkey

I made a red lentil and chickpea coconut Dahl (Sunday of) last week and ate it for breakfast with rice all week. Topped it with some cottage cheese. It hit the spot.

You could call this a Nordic inspired breakfast. Smoked salmon, smoked trout, or roll mop herrings, with some sliced cucumber/peppers/rocket/watercress. Optional add on of cottage cheese/yogurt. Served on any form of dark rye bread or cracker. Fresh dill on top and pickles if you want to go to town. Absolutely delicious if you like this kind of thing!

I've heard people doing avocado toast with salmon before!

Tofu scrambles instead of eggs

Hash! You can make it with anything. My favorite is cubed potatoes (or sometimes sweet potatoes), add sliced garlic near the end to just toast it up. Potatoes in the bowl/plate with grated cheese on top goes into the oven to melt while you fry up your egg to your liking. Finish with scallions and a few shakes of your favorite hot sauce.

Or do everything above but use grits/polenta instead of potatoes.

Toss on some crumbled bacon, sautéed spinach, sausage, whatever.

Strata. Whipped eggs, bread chunks bell peppers, onions, cheese, maybe some cream, maybe some bacon or ham… baked. So nice.

Shakshuka is great if you like tomato. Breakfast tacos are good and easy. Egg Bhurji is also good if you like Indian spices.

Dutch baby pancake.

Indeed! They’re the best. Decadent, super easy, and flexible - can be topped with fruit, maple syrup, chocolate syrup, etc etc.

Chilqquiles

Try Shakshuka. Super simple..you need tomatoes, 1 capsicum, 1 onion and eggs. You can buy cottage cheese (not paneer)...like Chobani or something cheaper. It adds volume and protien + isn't calorie dense. Look up cottage cheese and spianch eggs. Great way to add spinach to your diet too

Do fried eggs with paneer and make a Sandwich. Simple yet doesn't make me bored.

Buy some dosa batter, make some chutney/sambar, and make egg dosa. Super easy and convenient, very yummy as well.

Try making Gyeran-mari, it’s essentially a rolled omelette side dish popular in Korea, I found it few weeks ago on YT, and have been preparing it atleast twice a week. The visuals and texture play makes it pretty appetising.

https://youtu.be/MamnY5TJQxo?si=5sdFxHDB-p0xVJEW

You can add finely chopped onions, spring onions, carrots, sausage, cheese etc anything to it, as long as it’s fine chopped.

Edit- prepped it again a day later

Egg drop soup, anda paratha, stir fried eggs with veggies, steamed eggs, egg roll, eggs in fritters, french or korean omelette, egg sando, egg salad, poached egg and so much more . you can play around with texture and flavour both. Countless egg recipes can be found.

I know you very clearly said no eggs, but, if you are saying that because you don’t like the texture/taste of eggs I would recommend trying Ore-Ida Just Crack an Egg cups. I literally hate eggs so much, the smell and texture I can’t stand it. I tried these egg cups and there is bacon and potatoes and cheese and I’m so obsessed I eat them every morning now. It’s the only egg I consume. I can’t even taste the egg. They have different mix in’s and they are only 250~ calories prepared.

Overnight oats and berries with a side of turkey bacon.

I have a protein shake for breakfast. Because it has 30g of protein it normally keeps me full until lunch.

Oatmeal

I like overnight oats or chia pudding, top with fresh fruit. I use water and almond milk to make mine instead of milk I like the taste better. Sometimes I add a spoonful of Greek yoghurt for a bit of protein and calcium, to balance to meal a little. I usually go for berries, some banana and apple for the fruit.

I can make these the night before, so there is no prep in the morning. And the chia pudding will keep for a few days so I can make a big batch and it will do a few days. It means no excuses to skip breakfast.

Sometimes I like chia pudding, or a yogurt sauce on frozen fruit mixes (just 1:1 yogurt and cream, brown sugar to taste). Or just a yogurt parfait with the mixed fruit, maybe some toasted almonds on top

60 eggs a month is $25. That's $6.25 per family member per month. I'm not sure what the issue is here.

Powdered eggs.

pasta with anything on it. or plain pasta with butter and salt

I find that even one egg as part of a complete breakfast goes a long way. Cut a hole into toast and crack an egg into it on a skillet. Make a bowl full of rice and fry one over easy/ medium egg on top. Cheesy grits with some sautéed greens and/ or sweet potatoes with one fried egg on top of any component it super tasty and filling. Make egg muffins, one dozen eggs makes one dozen muffins and you can load them up with whatever meat, cheese and veggies you need to use up in your fridge; freeze them or keep in an airtight container for nearly a week. They reheat in a microwave about 15 seconds from fridge temp or about 30 from frozen; quick and easy on the go breakfast.

Having alternatives is great but also just knowing how to use one to complete a meal can make a huge difference in how long they last. Also consider getting a flat of eggs. If you know how many you go through you can get a really good bulk deal on multiple dozen if you have room for them in your fridge.

Or buy from local sources, if they aren’t cleaned you can keep them in a cool fry place at roughly room temp for much longer. Just be sure to float and clean them before you eat them.

Tofu scramble is really tasty, savory, and has plenty of protein! I season my crumbled tofu with tumeric, curry powder, garlic powder, paprika, mustard, soy sauce, and sriracha, let it marinate for a bit and then cook it up in the frying pan. Sometimes I'll sautee veggies first and then add the tofu.

Here to co-sign all the greek yogurt recommendations! I love cereal too and used to eat it a lot, but it was so carby and I'd be hungry again in an hour. The protein to calorie ratio on plain greek yogurt is UNREAL. I eat 3/4 cup to a cup every morning. Normally I'll add honey, banana, and a small bit of either pecans or bran cereal. It is SO delicious and very easy to change up by swapping toppings. It scratches the cereal itch to an extent and sticks around til lunch. ETA: and cinnamon! Add cinnamon! Makes it like banana bread.

Peanut butter and jelly is bomb for breakfast. Or Avocado toast, English muffins, yogurt with fruit, morning rounds.

Also there is no need to be stuck on the idea that breakfast has to be a traditional “breakfast” food. I love Trader Joe’s superfood burritos and bean and cheese burritos and would eat them for breakfast because they’re so quick. Turkey sandwich or a salad for breakfast works too.

Veggie & sweet potato hash! Add bacon if you’re feeling fancy and less “eat cheap and healthy” for a morning...good weekend splurge.

I mush mine up pretty thoroughly, so most of it touches seasoning. I also drain and press it really well beforehand. Adding sauteed veggies like onion and mushroom and peppers helps break up the tofu, too.

But I will concede that tofu always tastes a little bit like tofu. It's not a replacement for eggs, just a different thing that can be similiar!

I rarely have eggs for breakfast. This is my normal rotation:

- chia seed pudding

- rice cakes or bread with peanut butter, cheese, or cream cheese

- wheat bran with cinnamon, raisins, and sweetener

- yogurt with fruits/oats

- instant grits with butter

- cereal

If you want something like eggs, you can make a scramble with tofu.

Porridge, cereal, musli, with yoghurt or your milk of choice. Literally you can have anything for breakfast, Half the time i end up eating my leftovers from dinner the night before. Dont knock it till you have lentil curry for breakfast. Advacado on toast, tinned tomatos on toast, beans on toast - British delicacy. Any form of toast.

I like 10%mf plain Greek yogurt with fruit in it, usually bananas and a berry. Sometimes I throw a bit of raw honey in too. Very quick and fills me up

Overnight oats, leftovers, smoothies

Avocado toast?

I make a batch of high protein pancakes on the weekend, then in the morning I warm one up, spread some nut butter and some sliced fruit usually berries or sliced banana drizzle with honey then roll it up and eat it like a wrap. 2 Keeps me full and energized until well after lunch sometimes till dinner.

Try this one:

1. making an omelette
2. put 2 pieces of bread one on top of the other
3. put the filling
4. «connect» 2 pieces of bread :)

you will get a sandwich in an omelette

Ever try shakshouka? Poached eggs in a tomato sauce..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakshouka

Omelettes are insanely versatile.

My favorite is sunny side up, which I use to top many of my breakfasts. My “monday stack” that I had yesterday is a chicken patty, with mayo, a slice of tomato, a hashbrown, topped with the sunny side! What can I say, I love stacks. They’re satisfying in a way.

I like scrambled with sautéed green onion in them

Soft boiled eggs, with toast. Slice the toast and dip in the egg! Japanese omelettes are really good too!

this is my go to: 1 mashed up banana, a few small pieces of 100% pure dark choc (melted), sprinkle cinnamon, top with mixed unsalted roasted nuts. It’s very helpful for fiber intake and keeps me feeling satiated until lunch time

I do this too but with potatoes added! I make a big batch of breakfast potatoes in my air fryer over the weekend and heat up a small amount each day for my burrito. So good!

Congee (rice porridge. I love chicken congee, with ginger and green onion)

Nasi Lemak (rice cooked with coconut milk, served with various sides like cucumber, nuts, chili paste, anything you can think of)

Kashi (buckwheat porridge)

Bread and deli meat

There's lots of options that don't focus on egg if you look at breakfast in African or Asian countries, since they tend to have less egg and pastry focused breakfasts

broatmeal

Or make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a flour tortilla. To make it healthy skip the jelly and put honey or sliced dates/banana instead. Packs a decent amount of nutrients to kickstart your morning. You can also play with different nut butters.

I like to make mine with coffee instead of water, then add peanut butter and maybe protein powder, nuts, dried fruit, and cocoa nibs.

Who says you have to have breakfast food for breakfast? I regularly eat leftovers from the night before. Soup and curry are yummy, as well as sandwiches

Here's a simple one -- https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/basic-chinese-congee, though I'd use more water myself (10x the volume of rice). Ultra basic congee is just water + rice, cooked on low to not burn the bottom for maybe an hour until it reaches the texture you want. And here's a slightly more complicated but faster one -- https://thewoksoflife.com/20-minute-congee-recipe/

I've been sweetening my oatmeal with honey, add in some Chia seeds and some canned cherry's that I accidentally ordered.
