Let's Work Out a New Breakfast Routine for Quid

For a few years now nearly every morning I've made a couple slices of thick cut bacon, some eggs, and coffee. However, in an attempt to be just a bit more healthy I'd like to cut out red meat from my diet. Thing is there was a great efficiency to that combo. Start coffee, cook bacon, fry eggs in bacon grease, and it'd all be done in time for my first cup to be poured.
Which leaves me with trying to figure out something that might be as straightforward. The best I can come up with so far is omelets but there's a bit of prep time and extra utensils involved which irks me. And before anyone asks turkey bacon is a no go. Tried a couple different brands and just don't care for it at all.

Oh dang didn't even think about this. I love chicken sausage too. I'll see if I can get some today and try it out tomorrow.
Chicken sausages might be your friend, I've come to prefer them to regular ones. You could also do some boiled eggs the night before to have with them.
A favourite of mine are baked bananas. Slice a banana in half, put it on some foil with some honey, nutmeg, almonds and strawberries then bake in the oven with the foil wrapped up. Stick some yogurt on there and some choc chips if you're feeling fancy.
Toss grapeseed oil into your frying pan, crack open your eggs, add pre-sliced deli cheese, spinach, herbs, use a spatula to break up the yolk, cover it, and let it cook. Don't whip the eggs, don't use milk to make if fluffy, don't fold it over until it's on your plate.
It's not really an omelet, more like broken yolk fried eggs with cheese and spinach, but it'll be close enough, with near zero prep time.
And it's perfectly fine to completely skip the meat, as eggs and cheese are good sources of protein by themselves.
Trader Joe's sells some fake meat sausages and chorizo that is pretty damn tasty too. I use those for breakfast.
but they're listening to every word I say
Just start your coffee, put the slices of bread in the toaster and cook your eggs. All operations should take about the same time. And then you can mix it up by changing what you put on the toasts. Plus, you can use your toasts to scrape up the liquid yolk from the plate !
This is another good option. I'll look at some tiny tupperware and see if that works. I think instead of omelets egg scrambles with mixed ingredients might work best.
I occasionally make toast too but I love meat and eggs. I have a Ron Swansonesque reverence for my breakfast and just toast and eggs doesn't quite cut it.
Start coffee
Drop english muffin in toaster
Microwave turkey sausage, while it's cooking:
Crack egg into puck, beat with fork, microwave one minute
Throw sausage and egg on english muffin, throw on piece of american cheese.
Bang, egg mcmuffin or whatever. Three minutes maybe.
I tried doing vegetarian sausage but it made me sad.
One of those with three eggs scrambled up. Each one has a handful of green onion, mushroom, jalapeno, and a four cheese mix. If the last one is still good come this Friday I think I have a winner.
Now let's say for the sake of argument you wake up one day and you're just not feeling bacon and eggs. Ever tried really good steel cut oats? They take a bit longer to make usually. Bob's Red Mill makes a few varieties and one of them is one that only takes 10 minutesish. Bob's Red Mill also makes a variety of other delicious hot cereals. My favorite is the apple cinnamon. Multi-grain, low on the glycemic index so it is a cereal that sticks with you. I also like adding fresh or dried fruit i have on hand.

Boiled eggs are nice. Cooked just right so the yolk is runny and the white is hard. Yum. Dip with good bread.
Bacon every day is probably not a good idea. Bacon occasionally should be fine. But the OP is eating bacon every day, so he is right to rethink his routine.
If you have a Costco near you, they have pretty good goat cheese at a reasonable price, and I just recently starting making scrambled eggs on the weekend with some goat cheese crumbles in them, and it's so good.
If you can grab a low sodium can of beans, blackbeans, Polenta and eggs are a great combo. You could also replace the Polenta with Quinoa (Fast to prep if you have a rice maker you can time).
Most of the other breakfast food I eat would be worse for you, so that's all I got.
I like oatmeal well enough but it's never been especially satiating to me.
Based on this dumb thread I bought some steel cut oats, black strap molasses and psyllium seed husks for a fibertastic morning.
