Take your to go breakfast up a notch, by serving up some ham and cheese croissants. The melted cheese compliments the semi-sweet ham.

I like to serve my turkey bagel on a plain bagel, although you can use cinnamon raisin or blueberry to sweeten your bagel up.

9. Hard Boiled Egg

Hard boiled eggs are easy to make, and I always enjoyed taking off the shell once the eggs have finished boiling.

The trick to hard-boiled eggs is to make sure the egg has completely cooked before removing the shell. If the shell has begun to crack while cooking it is done.

Mornings are easier with a fresh batch of French toast sticks to help get your day started. Drizzle on a little syrup for a sweet on the go meal.

They type of bread you use for your French toast sticks does matter. I like to use Texas toast because it is thick and holds a lot of egg.
