The completely zero cooking and pan washing wasn't clear from the original post. I thought you were trying to minimize time expenditure in the morning.

Can't you just put it in the dishwasher?

How about some sort of asian noodle dish made in advance and portions microwaved as needed? My wife makes a fantastic pancit canton guisado that tastes best the next day. They're easy to make. http://www.filipinofoodstore.com/rec.../06/pancit.jpg |
I usually walk over to Bam Bam Bakery and get a Vegan Breakfast Bomb. The Portland Press-HErald printed the recipe a while back...here it is:
http://www.pressherald.com/2014/01/0...akfast_bombs_/ They're delightful balls of stuff. One of them keeps me full until lunchtime. I will make a batch one day instead of buying them. Slightly sweet and chock full o' stuff. |
The OP's best bet would probably overnight puddings and oats in mason jars.

How do you heat a pancake in a toaster? They don't usually stand upright very well. :)
2-3 minutes in the toaster, they are hot and crispy. |
The folks with the Golden Arches are happy to cook me either Sausage Burritos, or Egg McMuffins - and nowadays, they'll do it at any time of the day. And no clean-up issues on my end. They are also happy to prepare pancakes and hash browns, but normally only during normal breakfast hours.

One of the grocery stores here does above average croissants, so it's a croissant with some sort of spread (jam, hazelnut-chocolate spread, pistachio cream, chestnut paste, etc.) and a latte made in the nespresso machine.
I'm not a breakfast person really, can't do much beyond simple carbs until I've been vertical for a few hours, but that seems to work for me. |

Most grocery stores offer a yogurt cup with some kind of fruit and granola. Mine offer a 12oz cup with blueberries or strawberries for $3. Keeps me filled until lunch. It's located in the pre-cut fruit section.

McDonald's has changed a lot over the years as when I worked for them in the late 80's to early 90's, we use to make a lot of things in store. The biscuits, pancakes, and scrambled eggs have all been moved out of the store* to a manufacturing facility. Only real eggs are used for the McMuffin sandwiches, otherwise every thing else is made with LEP. The biscuits and pancakes are brought in frozen and heated in store via convection oven or microwave. They say that it's a more consistent product store to store and less labor is used in the store. *McDonald's does not call their locations restaurants. As much of their products are heat and serve, instead of produced from raw food, I can see why it is a store. |
I feel I have perfect microwaved scrambled eggs, so here you go:
- in a large shallow mug (wider than tall), grease the inside with butter (I use my fingers to spread around a small pat) or spray butter or oil or whatever - crack two eggs in, add TWO Tbsp of milk or 1/2 & 1/2 (I use the latter only because I don't often have milk on hand but I always have 1/2 & 1/2 for coffee)...I've experimented a lot, and I think the extra liquid volume is the secret here, so be sure to use 2 Tbsp, not one - add salt & pepper to taste and whisk the eggs with a fork until yolk is mixed in, then microwave for 50 seconds on high - remove promptly, give it a little stir and add small handful of shredded cheese (I use Trader Joe's gruyere & swiss mix); stir to mix in the cheese - microwave for 45 seconds on high - remove promptly and stir to mix in the cheese more - microwave for 40 seconds - remove and eat! This method has gotten me to a texture that's much better than most "scrambled eggs in a mug" recipes I've tried. If you fill the mug with water as soon as you're done eating and leave it to soak, the cleanup later is not bad even without a dishwasher. |

Quiche cups. Chop/saute veggies/meats of choice, Beat eggs & milk in a large measuring cup. Grease muffin tin. Add veggies/meats/cheese to muffin tins. Put eggs over top of veggie mix until 3/4 full. bake at 350 until done usually about 15 mins.
If you want them to puff up, you can add a bit of baking powder. You could also make savoury muffins. Use either a cornbread muffin recipe or http://www.canadianliving.com/food/r...e-mini-muffins You can make them with whatever combo of meat/cheese/veg you want Yogurt bowl - greek yogurt topped with fruit/nuts/granola/hemp hearts/coconut etc. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup Smoothie - blend fruit (fresh or frozen), yogurt, spices, juice/almond/soy/coconut milk & ice.
