Thought this might fit in here. General thoughts on breakfast as well as recipes. I'm usually not too hungry at breakfast. I usually eat light and I'll have a cup of coffee w/ a little milk and pumpkin spices in it. From what I've heard its probably better to wait a while after getting up to drink coffee. Lately I've been exploring savory oatmeal w/ fried egg. I'll put about a half cup of water, teaspoon of ghee and savory spice mix (Florence mix), maybe some garlic powder into bowl and nuke it for 45 secondsish. Then add some old fashion toasted oatmeal, nuke it another minute or minute and a half. While doing that fry up an egg in some 1/2 teaspoon of ghee, put some salt and pepper on it and tilt the pan so it doesn't spread too much. Then slide the sunny side up egg over the savory oatmeal. Done in 4 or 5 minutes. The creamy yolk adding nicely to the oats. Two secrets- one a small portion of oats, two- just before the egg is done, putting on some high heat for a few seconds to caramelize the bottom of the egg. Putting the oats into hot water/ghee/spice keeps there integrity better, they don't end up as mushy.
