[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks, these are all good suggestions. Things seem to fall into common categories: eggs, oatmeal + stuff, yogurt or cottage cheese + stuff, and toast + stuff.

We do eggs sometimes, but the kids get sick of them after a few days. I like the idea of a breakfast burrito because it might be different enough from scrambled eggs or an omelet. Do you just add salsa and cheese?

DS used to have peanut butter toast in the morning since he couldn't have it for lunch, and now that I think about it, I don't know why he stopped. For the PP who put beans on toast - what kind of beans? Do you mash them? Salt and pepper? We do avocado toast sometimes if we have ripe avocados, but it's another thing where after a day or two, they don't want it anymore.

I think if I rotate these general categories, I might be able to prevent the "I'm sick of X" situation. Monday is eggs day. Tuesday is oatmeal day, etc. But getting back to the thread about what other countries like Japan eat for breakfast, does anyone do something more unusual like cheese and olives or the bean salad that a PP mentioned? Obviously charcoal roasted fish is not an option, but maybe carrots and hummus or baking some sweet potatoes on the weekend... I just remembered I used to do a roasted veggie + peanut sauce wrap when I was younger. I could probably prep that on weekends...

Thanks all - bouncing the ideas around has been helpful! I welcome any more suggestions![/quote]

My basic breakfast burrito has eggs and cheese and salsa. I also like adding: shredded frozen hashbrowns, leftover roasted veggies, breakfast meats of various kinds, black beans, sour cream/Greek yogurt, avocado, etc.

As for the "I'm sick of X" situation, you could also just stop indulging that. My kids basically have 3 breakfast options (eggs and toast, cereal and breakfast sausage, bagel and cream cheese). If they don't want a savory thing, they are welcome to all the Honey Nut Cheerios they can manage. Somehow they have gotten into the mindset that it needs to be different and exciting. It does not. It is a lot easier when it's not, actually.

And beans on toast is a specific dish: https://www.christinascucina.com/beans-on-toast-the-proper-british-way-recipe-by-a-brit/[/quote]
