My favorite breakfast is now one fried egg, topped with sliced chicken or turkey, topped with guacamole. I make homemade guacamole and slice up a bunch of chicken or turkey at the same time, so it only takes a minute to put it all together. I fry the egg in butter and warm the chicken on the other side of the pan at the same time. The hot egg and warm chicken warm the guacamole. Quick, filling and very healthy. I was having a hard time getting carbs in at breakfast, so the guacamole fills that need really well with tomatoes, garlic, hot peppers, lime juice and onion mixed in with the avocado.

Check out the Muffin in a Minute. It's terrific and easy.

Re: Any ideas on Quick filling Breakfast Ideas

Things precooked like low-sodium bacon, sausage links, and hard-boiled eggs are some ideas. Just this week I had some deli ham and turkey with a slice of swiss, mayo, and mustard for breakfast. Also, grabbing a string cheese to go with a couple hard-boiled eggs works when you're short on time. Sometimes I like to cook things ahead so I just have to pop them in the microwave. Like on Sunday I may cook a whole pan of bacon or sausage in the oven and then eat it over the next several days. Then there's chopping up veggies like mushrooms and peppers to sautee with butter and add to scrambled eggs. I've also made breakfast x3 some morning and saved the other two servings for the next couple days. Then it's just heat and eat.

I've found that there's not a lot of 'quick' anything with this WOE. During the week I spend countless hours preparing food, but the tradeoff is completely worth it!

I like scrambled eggs with cheese.

Also crustless quiche is good. It can be made it advance and just heated up quickly.

Re: Any ideas on Quick filling Breakfast Ideas

Think laterally for breakfast. We have kind of fixed ideas about what breakfast should be (eggs, bacon, sausage etc) but there are no rules. You can have lobster for breakfast if you like!!!

I often eat left overs at breakfast, which sounds less interesting than it is. For example this morning there was some leftover burger and mushrooms from dinner last night, so I chopped up the burger, sliced up a green onion and stir fried the burger, mushrooms and onion together for a minute then stirred in an egg. It was very tasty and very filling. Left over chicken is excellent too, and pretty much any left over veg can be made into an omelette. In fact most dinner leftovers make good breakfasts and as they are already cooked only require minimal time to prepare. Most evenings now I make sure there will be left overs to use for a quick breakfast or lunch the next day.

Not necessarily typical breakfasts, but they are good!

I'm on induction so the flax seed will not work. Its not a legal food while on induction.

My bad! It's been awhile since I was on induction, and I remembered sprinkling it on salad for constipation relief, but you're right, induction is limited to 1 or 2 tbsp of flax. Oh well, something to look forward to for OWL Rung 3.

Re: Any ideas on Quick filling Breakfast Ideas

You could always make a smaller muffin by splitting the batter into 2 or more mini muffins so you won't go over the 1-2 tablespoonsworth of flax allowed on induction for constipation prevention.

My favorite breakfast idea (my dd loves it to)

Is to get a muffin pan and butter it so the food wont' stick.
Crack an egg into the muffin pan (if you like eggs fried hard
then scramble it first)
Then add hamburger meat, or nitrate free bacon, onions, peppers, just whatever you want.

Bake for about 20 mins (I have to do it at 350 and again I like my eggs fried hard) then add a little cheese on top, bake for another 5 mins till cheese gets crispy.

When it comes out of the oven you can add sour cream, chilies etc.

YUM! That sounds amazing. I am going to try that. I love spicy food even for breakfast so this is really appealing!

My favourite breakfasts are:
scrambled egg (made with 1 tbsp cream) with bacon or smoked salmon
crustless quiche (delicious and you make six portions at once so very quick in the morning)
mock danish (with 1 tbsp flax)
omelette with small amount of veg and cheese
baked avocado with bacon, cream and cheese

I had leftover hamburger pie with cheese and runner beans for breakfast today and really enjoyed it so may start eating leftovers in the morning. I like my salad for lunch!

Re: Any ideas on Quick filling Breakfast Ideas

You could make the Muffin in a Minute using 1 tablespoon flaxmeal and 2 or 3 tablespoons protein powder, I already substitue half the flaxmeal with whey protein powder. I use Designer Whey Vanilla protein powder, can put a couple of drops of banana flavor in it for a "banana bread" muffin. Yummmm!

Re: Any ideas on Quick filling Breakfast Ideas

A good suggestion, Deb, as long as you are using protein 'isolate' rather than ordinary powder.
