Coffee, English Muffin with Bon Mamam 4 Frruits, Cottage Cheese and a half banana.
I have started making big batches of Bob's Red Mill steel cut oats. I buy the big bag of them from Costco. The cooked oats (made with just water and salt) live in a Cambro in the fridge and last us for 4 or 5 days of breakfasts. They are easy to reheat in the microwave and I add butter, craisins, brown sugar, nutmeg, vanilla, and oat milk to the hot oats. While I like bacon, eggs, and hash browns, oatmeal had become my go-to breakfast .

5:00 am...coffee (good coffee) brewed, and all ready for me, from a timer.
Then a bagel. Bagels are magical. Put some butter on it, broil it for 4 minutes in the oven..then creme cheese spread. There are different bagels and different spreads.. This helps in regards to the coffee eating away at my stomach lining. Once I get on the boat, I start to eat the best fruit I can buy.
Never underestimate the power of a toasted bagel with creme cheese.

I see several like oatmeal. That's my typical daily breakfast, 2/3 cup, cooked in milk, with fruit, & yogurt mixed in, and sometimes an over-easy egg on top or a French Vanilla whey isolate shake poured over the top. But man, possibly because I stay well hydrated, that stuff is moving through me ALL DAY! Not what I want when out fishing, especially in waders.

Some mornings I will toast an English muffin in the oven broiler with some butter. I then spread some high priced fruit "jelly, or jam" on them. This combined with strong coffee can make a good breakfast. Also adding (high dollar, organic ) peanut butter is a nice touch.

Almond milk, high dollar breakfast cereal with sliced strawberries or sliced bananas. Quick. easy and no noise. Only the spoon and empty bowl left behind.
I use the term "high dollar" because they are options that are different from say "Corn Fakes" or "Jiffy" or "Smuckers". Not to be a snob,, but breakfast can be gourmet.. to a certain extent.

I actually prefer Jif extra crunchy peanut butter to its high dollar alternatives, even though I have expensive tastes for other foods, like cheese.

When at my gulf home, and especially if I have fishing buddies visiting, we stop at a Keiths Superstore to top off the boat gas and get breakfast sandwiches made fresh in store and diet Mt. Dew. And sometimes if I am not driving I'll get a fresh cinnamon roll. Every bit as good as Cinnabon!

One of my fondest fishing/camping breakfast memories is from a few years back when Jerry Daschofsky and I were camped at Blue Creek on the Cowlitz. There used to be a British deli and butcher shop in Auburn where you could buy traditional British cased meats, sausages, and puddings. Jerry brought along all the fixings for a proper traditional Scottish breakfast fry-up. Haggis, black pudding, rasher bacon, bangers, tattie scones, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and eggs-all of which were expertly prepared on Jerry's Camp Chef flat top griddles. Earlier in the week, we had a larger group with good friends and fishing. The weekend was a celebration of one of our dear friend's retirement after 28 years in the US Army. This was Sunday morning's breakfast if I recall correctly. The last two swingin' dicks that remained in camp were Jerry and I (all the other guys had no interest in haggis and black pudding and had bailed). That was ok. More offal for us. It was the finest breakfast I've had this side of the Kingdom of Alba. Gave the needed energy and strength to break down an elaborate camp setup. It's cool how so many of our lifelong memories are tied to good food.

Partial as I am to bacon and eggs, there isn't always time. Costco must have a limited supply of Bob's steel cut oats because they frequently run out. So I bought 4 sacks the last time they had them. I make a big double batch, add brown sugar and craisins, and store them in plastic quart containers in the fridge. When I need a quick breakfast, I just scoop some into a bowl, add milk, and microwave for 2 minutes. It's ready before my coffee is!
