Make-ahead kid breakfast ideas
School is starting and I am in a breakfast rut for the kids. I make overnight oats a few times a week. I am not home for kids breakfast and hubby does not cook. What else can we make ahead that he can serve? Bonus for egg recipes!

What do you think?
Also, we are busy moms, cheat! Buy the premade crusts. I make 2-3 quiche a week.
It takes 1-1:30 in the microwave to heat it up. My kids "cook" their own breakfast while I do my hair!
I forgot to make quiche, or we need a change, yogurt smoothies. I always have frozen fruit. Add a yogurt and blend. Add oats for texture and to keep them fuller longer.
Fritattas/Quiches are great to keep on hand.
Hard boiled eggs chopped up on toast with a piece of cheese melted on top is far more delicious than it ought to be. Add bacon if you're lucky.
You can also make any breakfast burrito and freeze it, re-heat in microwave or oven as needed.
Smoked salmon makes a great breakfast. On toast with avocado or sliced cucumbers add a little cream cheese or goat cheese or butter if you're low on groceries. You could even make lox sandwiches ahead the night before and pull them out morning of. very NY of you.
Also, do the kids like hard-boiled eggs?

serve small portions of beef stew, etc, if they can stomach it and have enough appetite. Also gives them more of a protein boost than the average cereal+milk does.
Or introduce them early to that old college favorite - slice of cold pizza with a glass of milk.
