So much prep going on in these comments.

Half a bowl of Shreddies, half of Swiss Muesli, milk. Tea if you have time, juice if not.

Avocados toast is pretty easy. Toast some bread. Mash on some avocado. Sprinkle with garlic salt or everything seasoning. Delicious and healthy!

An apple

Chia seed pudding is super simple to do. Put 3-4 tablespoons of chia and one cup of liquid (e.g. milk) in a jar, throw it in the fridge and let it sit overnight. Add some fruit to it in the morning if you want flavor. It is basically flavorless if you don't.

Microwave oatmeal but with so much water that it's drinkable. Have a pint of that and your body will thank you tremendously.

I always have a bowl of full-fat Greek yogurt with a spoonful of almond butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, some collagen powder, and a little bit of maple syrup. Easy to scarf down in a hurry and keeps me satisfied for a few hours.

I dunno about nutritious, but I sometimes like baking oat cookies and having them for breakfast, super easy to eat and honestly probably as bad for me as regular cereal. Do want to try and make them "healthy" though

Egg on toast. Takes just a minute or two to fry/scramble an egg and frankly you don't have to watch it like a hawk the whole time so you can make your coffee or whatever while it's frying. Throw a slice or two of cheese on top while the egg is still hot

I'm cheap, and I also have barely any time for breakfast in the morning, and my wife likes it when I make her breakfast but she leaves for work an hour after me.

So this is what I do, and have done for almost three years straight now.

You get yourself some Some And a big bag of shredded cheese, your choice

First thing I do when I walk into the kitchen is start the toaster oven, getting it hot. Then I take a chicken patty out of the freezer and break it in half on the edge of the counter while it's still in the bag. Then I take a half sheet paper towel, and fold it in half, because I hate doing dishes. I put both halves of the chicken patty on it, pop it in the microwave for one minute, 30 seconds per half if I'm only doing one. Then while that's going, I slap two tortillas on the counter, sprinkle a healthy dose of cheese on them and spread it out evenly. By the time I'm done, so is the chicken, so I put each half on one side of each tortilla. Next comes the flavor. You can sprinkle a little garlic salt and pepper, or a dash of worcestershire, or my favorite was a dab of Chick-fil-A sauce under the patty. Then, slide it onto the rack in the piping hot toaster oven. Then I walk away to go start getting ready for work, just a simple task like finding socks or something, then I come back a minute or two later and the cheese is nice and bubbly, the tortilla is browning on the edges, it's just about ready to pull out. Then I pull them out, fold them in half, put mine on my water bottle to cool, and hers goes back into the toaster oven, but it's a fancy oven so I set the temp to 160f so it's nice and hot when she gets up, but doesn't keep cooking too much.

The whole process takes less than 10 minutes, maybe even 5 minutes if I'm really on my game in the morning.

The whole thing costs like 50 cents, and is plenty filling for me. It's probably not the healthiest option, but.. 🤷‍♂️

Why don't I use something more breakfasty, like sausage? Because I can't find it as cheap as the chicken. Funny enough, I actually started this whole process during COVID, with frozen precooked sausage patties. We got a bag of them with one of our low income commodity boxes, and couldn't figure out what to do with them. So I started doing this. Then when the bag ran dry, I transitioned to chicken. Not as good, but still good, and like I said, I'm cheap lol.

Hope this helps!
