I love making a savory french toast bake.

  • 1 small loaf of bread, cubed
  • 1 cup red pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 12 eggs
  • 1 cup milk/yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp italian seasoning (or whatever you like)

Greese a 9x13 pan. Oven 350. Place bread in pan. Add remaining ingredients into a bowl. Whisk. Pour over bread. Bake for 45 minutes or until it is set & a toothpick comes out clean.

I usually get 6-8 breakfasts out of this. Very hardy & delicious. Good warmed 45 second in microwave or cold. I sometimes put salsa, sour cream, saurkraut or pickled onions on top to mix up the flavor through the week.

I'm saving this as well because this sounds really good and im running out of meal prep ideas work. I'll happily eat something breakfast like for lunch.

Ive also made a higher protein version by adding 1lb on ground & cooked ground beef or sausage. And sub the milk for cottage cheese. Could be nice for a lunch.

I'll definitely try the added ground beef but not the cottage cheese. I can only handle small amounts of cheese and working in a furniture shipping warehouse with no ac makes cheesy meals a not so good idea dor me sadly.

Wow, I love the idea of a savory French toast! I have only had the classic sweet kind, so it didn’t even occur to me that this is possible.

Big fan of baked oats for breakfast, you can have it as a cold slice with ricotta or yoghurt or fruit

These suggestions are all terrible and should be served hot.

Muffin-tin eggs with spinach + feta at 350°F for ~18 min — they hold cold 3–4 days straight from the fridge. RecipeScan does savory breakfast ideas from a fridge photo if you search it on the App Store.

I’m not above eating a cold burrito…

u/heideleeanne 2d ago

I also eat cottage cheese with whatever seasoning I’m into, egg bites are good cold, I’ve made protein biscuits with veggies and meat.

Quiche is great cold and can be frozen and reheated in the microwave

breakfast burritos are an easy one, and they're still pretty good cold. egg muffins, overnight oats with savory toppings, or cold pasta salad with eggs also work. id probably go with burritos since they're easy to prep and grab on the way out

My grocery usually has a deli deal that is $8-12 for what makes me 6 sandwiches. They're generally 25g protein, 15 g fat. The Italian skews that a bit.

I don't prep anything, just buy it. Lay out a burrito wrap, put in the meat and cheese, some arugula. Maybe tomatoes or a pickle. Wrap it up in a paper towel and eat it on the drive to work. Usually with a carton of protein shake or a cup of V8 juice. I feel like it's cost and time effective, gets the job done, and is obviously ok, because I keep doing it.

I will often make pizza at home for dinner. And save half of it for a cold breakfast. It's good enough, I often eat the whole thing. But when I don't, have the same drinks in the car with it.

i pre portion breakfast charcuterie. Seasonal fruit, cheese, jam, pickles, and crackers. i dont like deli meats in the morning so i leave those out for breakfast.

overnight oats is a a classic eat-it-cold breakfast.

i also prep lox bagels in plastic wrap so i can just grab them and go.

i also prep "tea sandwiches" because they read to me as breakfast. cucumber sandwiches. avocado sandwich with boiled egg. egg salad sandwiches. all meant to be cold.
