Here are 17 delicious and easy breakfast ideas. Whether you are a fan of the one bowl meal, eggs, or bread, there is something here for everyone.
1. Egg Bites
If you are looking for a quick make ahead breakfast look no further. Egg bites are quick, easy and you can make a whole bunch on Saturday or Sunday and have them all week.

2. Breakfast Tacos
If you love Mexican food, or even if you just like it, Breakfast Tacos are simple and easy. If you want to save time, make the rice and beans ahead of time and keep them in the fridge. That way, all you have to do the day of, is make the eggs. *Rice and beans are optional but recommended. *
Breakfast Tacos are packed full of protein and have been a healthy staple of Mexican cuisine (as well as in many other Central and South American Countries).
3. Scrambled Eggs
Scrambled eggs are an easy, versatile, and classic breakfast food. Keep it simple or add vegetables and cheese. Add some toast with either sausage or bacon to complete the dish.
To save time, pre-chop any vegetables the night before. Eat your scrambled eggs beside your toast, on your toast or with tortillas.
4. Toast
Toast is about as versatile as you can go. You can put anything on toast. Have it plain and simple with butter. Slather it with peanut butter and jelly. Smear cream cheese and add capers and smoked salmon.
Squash up some avocado on top for Avocado Toast. If it is berry season grab some fresh berries and slice or squish them on to your toast. Like avocado, banana makes a great topping for toast. Stick slices of banana on with nut butter or squish them on like avocado.
5. Breakfast Sandwich
Breakfast sandwiches are quick, easy, and delicious. You can toast your bread or leave it untoasted. Use sandwich bread, a bagel, or an English muffin. You can put just about anything inside.

6. Frittata
Frittatas are another easy, make-ahead breakfast egg dish. You can put just about anything in a frittata. If you like some variety in your weekly breakfasts make two different kinds.
