What do you have for breakfast?

I've recently been getting hungry in the mornings, so I think I may want to start having a larger breakfast and a smaller dinner. I've normally had a bowl of cereal or sometimes a pair of crumpets. I ideally want something that it's ok even if I have the same thing every day for a month, because having a choice is nice, but I'd like a default where I can make it on autopilot when I need to.

I scramble an egg with butter, served over a bed of arugula (rocket?), cherry tomatoes, toasted whole grain bread or refried potatoes, and coffee with milk.

Sometimes I make an egg pie (spinach and cheese usually) and bake that in advance. It's microwavable if you want it hot, but I eat it cold.

I like ravioli for breakfast. The butternut squash kind with parmesan sprinkled on after.

I'll eat a turkey sandwich for breakfast... this week I had croissants and basil so I made all the sandwiches at once.

Sometimes I have a banana with peanut butter. Though that's usually dinner.

I like egg salad on toast, or just the hard boiled egg and really buttery toast... they sell the eggs pre-cooked and pre-peeled here.

Sometimes I make breakfast tacos with beans and egg and cheese and salsa on tortillas. I do cheat and heat all the stuff for those in the same skillet which looks really disgusting but tastes the same as the fancy layered assembly.

I also like eggy banana pancakes made with cottage cheese and pecans... they're super-high protein for pancakes. Those are good at dinner too.

I don't care when I eat foods, there's no reason for certain things to be "breakfast" to me. Other than feeling really ill if all I have is a sweet pastry. But generally I'm looking for a high-protein option that goes tolerably well with coffee.

I have made a large batch of whole grain multi-grain "oatmeal" (I like it better with the barley and 7 other things) and microwaved individual bowls of that. But I keep putting too much syrup on mine (tasty!!) and then I really want lunch early.

One of the few things I just don't like at breakfast, though it was easy and meets all the criteria, was lentil soup. I do like gazpacho for breakfast. And stew. It's just the curry first thing that killed the lentil idea. Potato soup for breakfast, with cheese on top, is excellent.
