I'm going to have to try the coffee mug egg trick (and/or pick up one of the contraptions).Tried it myself. Works great =)
D'oh! I completely forgot to try that this morning. I'm going to have to do breakfast for dinner soon so I'm coherent enough to think of something new :-)

Depends on how much time I have & what my nutritional needs are (i.e. going to the gym vs. going to work).
If I have less than 15 minutes:
Half of a whole wheat bagel with 1 tbsp. of reduced fat ricotta or goat cheese and some homemade jam from my mom (usually plum or blackberry).
If I have 15-30 minutes:
Mega Oatmeal (ridiculously rich and creamy and wonderful):
1/4 c. Red Mill rolled oats
1 tbsp. almond or cashew butter
whatever frozen berry I have
squirt or agave or honey
cinnamon
pinch o' salt
drop of vanilla (cook all + 1/2 c. water for 2 min)
big spoon of vanilla yogurt (added after cooked in microwave)
If I have 30 minutes:
Veggie Frittata
1. Saute whatever veggies you have/love/need to use up, usually what's already cut up in my fridge (zuchinni, mushroom, onion, maybe some pepper or tomato, anything, really)
2. Pour in 1 egg + 1 egg white + milk, salt, pepper all beat together; cook until bottom is set
3. Top with feta and slide in oven under broil for a few minutes until top is set.

I am trying the savory oatmeal experiment tonight. I have steel-cut oats (harvested from the souls of the damned) and chicken broth in the crock pot, and I will report back tomorrow morning to let you know how it turned out. I just went with broth, oats, and some thyme this time around, but if all goes well I'm already plotting things to add to the mix.

On a lazy Sunday I'll make a stack of crepes and stash them in the fridge for the week. I usually put strawberry yogurt or nutella or peanut butter in them, and eat them while I'm walking to the bus. A bagel with cream cheese, cucumbers and sprouts is also a favorite, and pretty filling.
My breakfast secret, especially in the summertime, is a popsicle maker. I LOVE creamsicle popsicles: some vanilla yogurt in the bottom with orange juice on top. I get bored with drinking smoothies every day, so sometimes I pour the extra into a popsicle mold. Yum!

Chicken Broth Oatmeal Report
The oatmeal wasn't bad, but also not spectacular, when I first tasted it this morning. Then I added some salt and red pepper flakes, and it got really good! I still think it could use something added to the mix (maybe raisins), but overall it was a success.
Thank you!

The scallions look good. The grape and gorgonzola looks amazing.

I've done a similar combo on a flatbread before. It's amazing!

if you're intrigued by the savory oatmeal idea, check out Mark Bittman of the NY Times and How to Cook Everything. He has lots of ideas in this article including a breakfast risotto. I have done the breakfast fried rice thing before. I've also done sweet hot cereals but using things like quinoa instead of oatmeal, with dried fruit, nuts and honey or maple syrup.
Be sure to watch the video in the NY Times link, above. His Minimalist cooking video podcasts (vodcasts?) are a hoot. And there are also links to 4 of the recipes on the left hand side.

Glad you liked it! I do salt and plain old black pepper... the salt is definitely critical, just 1/2 tsp of it. Without it, it's surprisingly meh. I couldn't begin to explain why it makes such a difference.

Hah! That's actually the article that gave me the idea. Thanks, I dug around and couldn't find it.
