10 Quick & Delicious Breakfast Ideas for Busy Weekdays

Busy mornings often mean one of two things: no breakfast at all or something packaged and filled with sugar. But that doesn’t have to be the case! These quick breakfast recipes will have you feeling your best — without any worry of a grumbling stomach or sugar crash a few hours later.

1. 3-Ingredient Egg Breakfast Skillet from Tbsp.

Keep a bag or two of frozen hash browns on hand and you’ll always have the ingredients to make this super-speedy egg skillet. If you have leftover roasted veggies or cooked meat, toss them in, too.

2. Healthy Breakfast Tacos from Cook Nourish Bliss

Make these breakfast tacos ahead of time and freeze them for a fast and fulfilling breakfast whenever you’re in a rush. For best results, serve with sliced avocado and fresh herbs.

3. Savory Yogurt Bowl from Kitchn

Yogurt doesn’t always topped with fresh fruit and honey. Here it’s made savory with lots of crisp, refreshing veggies and a sprinkling of spicy mustard seeds.

4. Asiago Arugula Eggs from My Life Cookbook

Feel free to use whatever greens and cheese you have on hand for this quick omelet-like breakfast. Spinach or kale are great substitutes for the arugula, while Parmesan or even a soft cheese like feta can replace the Asiago.

5. Easy 2-Ingredient Sweet Potato Pancakes from SkinnyMs.

This morning twist on a grilled cheese sandwich is not just fast; it’s also infinitely customizable. Slip greens like arugula or baby spinach inside, opt for your favorite sliced or shredded cheese, and choose your favorite sandwich bread.

This fast and fancy breakfast toast is also totally feel-good thanks to nutrient-rich tahini, crunchy pistachios, and naturally-sweet date syrup. Opt for whole grain bread to make it an even healthier choice.
