Early Riser - Breakfast Help

[stephanie8537]

Hi Everyone -
I leave my house at 5:00am and get to work at 5:30am. So cooking before I leave for work is out of the question - barely get myself out the door. Does anybody have any ideas for breakfast? Thanks!

Leftovers from last night's dinner

precook hard boiled eggs

Try the breakfast egg shake that gets posted every so often

invest in a microwave

get up early enough to fix breakfast

take extra lunch and nibble on it later in the morning



That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Good ideas. I keep boiled eggs on hand for when I don't have time to cook breakfast. I also bring extra lunch and eat it for breakfast sometimes. Can you microwave stuff and eat at your desk?

Cheese sticks?

I make crustless quiche at the weekend so I can grab a slice or two on my way out if needed as well as being a quick'n'easy supper on those evenings I can't be bothered to cook.

Mine have cheese, eggs, cream, bacon & cooked veg in them so it is a well balanced meal or snack.

crustless quiche

that sounds great - you have a recipe for that?

[mizski]

Lots of crustless quiche recipes here. I make mine in a 6-cups muffin pan so I get 6 individual quiche "muffins." They also freeze well so I can have a variety of different types on hand.

ETA: These are very portable and are good either hot or cold. I use a silicone muffin pan for easy removal but you could spray a regular metal one with non-stick cooking spray or grease well with butter or use foil muffin cups.

oh great, thanks! the muffin-pan is a great idea, I'm definitely going to do that too.

I've also made the Mock Danish the night before and it's ready to go in the morning. I've used various fruit-flavored extracts in place of the vanilla for variety. I make my mock danish in a cereal bowl.

so I made a quiche-thingy with cauliflower, eggs and cheese in the muffin-pan and OMG - it's delicious, it really is, I LOVE IT!

My hubby made the mock danish after he saw it on here the other night. While it does not LOOK pleasant it is super good! And only takes a couple of minutes to fix.
