I like that microwaved scrambled egg idea a lot. Thanks for posting the instructions, oofta! Thanks also Willie for posting your breakfast burrito goop recipe again; I've been meaning to try that but lost it. Might try quiche cups too.

Another one I do is a vegetable hash and eggs. I make up the hash on the weekends and then just heat up in the microwave. I'll then microwave an egg to go on top.
For the hash, I usually sauté a combination of onions, peppers, garlic, mushrooms, zucchini, and butternut squash (or whatever vegetables look good that weekend). If I want meat, I'll add smoked sausage or bulk sausage.
For the egg, I do a poached style instead of scrambling:
Grease a coffee cup, and then sprinkle a pinch of salt in the bottom.
Crack an egg in the cup, and then poke the yolk with a fork.
Cover with plastic wrap, leaving a gap on one side as a vent.
Microwave for 30 seconds.

For breakfast, 90% of the time I just have a greek yogurt. I buy the boxes of Chobani at Costco, dump them in the fridge and grab one on my way to work. I also like those frozen breakfast sandwiches, such as Jimmy Dean Delights, if I want something a bit heavier than a yogurt.

My quick breakfasts are lunch-style food. Sliced meats and cheeses. Often a few pieces of bread to make it a sandwich. A handful of nuts. A dish of sliced fruit. Occasionally a protein bar if I need to prepare breakfast really fast.

Well, I am quite relieved to hear you say that first, so I too can confess an occasional fondness for a Jimmy Dean's breakfast biscuit or croissant sandwich. I used to have to keep them on hand at all times for my stepson, but they were for him and I hardly ever ate them myself. Now I can. They're cheaper at Costco, by the way, than in regular grocery stores.

), but not the healthier JD Delight flatbread sandwiches. I don't have room in my freezer right now for a box anyway so I just picked up the bag of frozen mixed berries for my smoothies.
