recipes please!

Right, I need some input here. I'm about to start the early-rising-for-work thing and I am having breakfast issues, namely:

- I don't like most cereals
- I am bored of toast
- eggs are time-consuming
- I should probably stop just eating yoghurt, and add some carbs to my first meal of the day

I like the idea of making a batch of breakfast muffins and then sticking them in the freezer, and defrosting one to eat every morning. The internet of course has recipes aplenty, but I thought I'd canvas personal opinion. So. Does anyone have any favourite recipes for muffins or other breakfast options that are fairly healthy, and filling, and would freeze well? Sweet or savoury, don't mind.

So, here's a recipe that a friend of mine got me hooked on and it is so tasty. I know you say eggs are time-consuming, but I've actually found that, if you get some of the little silicone egg poachers this is actually really easy/quick.

So.
Get multi-grain bread (or english muffins, or anything, really). Toast bread.
Poach eggs.
Cut up avocado into slices
Put avocado slices on bread. Put poached eggs on avocado. Put salt/pepper (to taste) on poached eggs.
Eat like an open sided sandwich.

This is so, so simple but it's tasty, really filling and is actually pretty good for you

Also, personally, I'm a huge fan of cottage cheese (not sure if you have access to it or if it's just a US thing as I could never find it in the Netherlands) with a spoonful of sugar.

I am a heathen and not that fond of avocado D:

No, not fond of avocado? I can't fathom (I was practically raised on it and sort of forcibly inherited my mother's love for it) :)

You could subsitute something like wilted spinach but that starts running into the time issue again.
Can you get premade pie crusts (already in aluminium outers)? If so, I'd go for pre-making a full quiche and then eating off it for a week. You can use up tons of veggie leftovers that way and it stores and reheats pretty well.

I love the idea of making a full quiche for breakfasts but unfortunately I am living with four other members of my family: I would make it and in two days it would be GONE.

Quiche thieves!
Alas. Muesli/granola, fruit and yogurt may be the best bet :\
