    Quick and hearty breakfast ideas

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I have company coming for some events that will necessitate eating a hearty breakfast and get us out of the house by 6:30 am. We'll be outside all day and it will likely be pretty cool in the mornings. Trying to think of breakfast items that can either be made the night before, or very quickly in the morning.

    A big bowl of cut up fruit (canteloupe, blueberries, strawberries for example).
    Perhaps some sort of egg thing? Fritatta? Quiche?
    Coffee

    Toast and cold cereal is a last resort. None of us are oatmeal fans.

    Looking for ideas, recipes.

    Make-your-own fruit and yogurt parfaits? Grilled PB & banana sandwiches? There's also some good recipes for energy bars and the like here on TE.

    Quiche is a good one. I like baked oatmeal for a easy, filling, feed-an-army breakfast. To me, it tastes more cookie-/cake-like when it's baked.

    I've made these Cottage Cheese Sun-Dried Tomato Muffins before when we go camping. I ended up eating them for breakfast. They are hearty and savory, a nice option for breakfast and can be made ahead of time (or taken along as a snack).

    I'm a sucker for fried egg sandwiches. Fast, quick, and you can eat them in the car.

    Frittatas bake relatively quickly and/or can be reheated easily. I just made one this past weekend that had ham, spinach, potato, onion and a bit of white cheddar in it. The potato and onion are cooked on the stovetop first and then the egg, spinach, cheese and ham mixture are added to it as it goes into the oven for 15 minutes. Of course, you can put just about anything into a frittata.

    Here are two good options - both are super hearty and both reheat beautifully!

    Those look delicious, but the original recipe that was her inspiration looks downright spectacular! It almost makes me want to eat bread again!

    Wow! These look good too. Esp the make ahead of time part. I'm really not interested in a lot of cooking at 5am...

    Those do look good, but I have celiac disease and just seeing bread makes me feel a little queasy Even though there are decent gluten free options now.

    Ya'll enjoy them for me.

    Yeah, I'm paleo, so I can't eat them either. I'm thankful for the sweet potato version you posted! I'm definitely going to try them if I can figure out a substitute for cream cheese.
