?Favorite "housekeeping" breakfast

Gotta feed 6 with a fridge, cooktop, microwave....time and clean-up count! What is your favorite?

If time and clean up are paramount:

Prep: hard boil eggs before trip (2 eggs/ person / day)

uncooked oatmeal (prefer thick rolled oats in bulk -get in 50# bag)

butter

honey

cinnamon

fruit of choice ( I prefer raisins and bananas)

milk, water and orange juice

one spoon, one glass and one bowl per person

Morning of:

Set out items, everyone serves/prepares/cleans up their own.

1) Drink glass of water (20 to 30 seconds) and then glass of orange juice. (20 to 30 seconds)

2) Peel first hard boiled egg and pop in mouth whole. (20 to 30 seconds)

3) While chewing first egg take bowl and add dry oatmeal (1 to 2 cups), butter, honey, cinnamon, raisins, fruit of choice

and milk. (30 seconds)

4) Let oatmeal mixture soak while peel and eat second egg. (60 seconds)

5) Eat oatmeal mixture, add extra milk if want more moisture. (5 minutes max)

6) Repeat oatmeal mix if need more to fill your tank up. (5 1/2 minutes)

7) Rinse out glass/bowl spoon, or use plastic/paper. ( 5 to 30 seconds)

8 1/2 minutes max (14 minutes if you are a slow 2 bowl eater) for a low odor (less bear problems), easy clean up, balanced breakfast that will stick with you, get you out the door faster and earlier. Add in a short trip to the outhouse and you are good for the day. Unlike a lot of other breakfasts, it will not gas your fellow fisherman out of the fish house or the deer/elk out of the area, not turn the outhouse into a toxic waste dump requiring a haz-mat suit to enter, not make you go thru a roll of toilet paper out in the woods, or make you suddenly have to quick run the boat or sled to shore and head for the bushes to unload!

Guys at first often balk at it, but once they try it a couple times most prefer it!

Time saved can mean extra time for sleep, or getting in more hunting or fishing. Also very cheap breakfast to make. If want something hot can boil hot water to add to bowl, but that adds some time.

Nothing worse than guys who intentionally pig out on greasy/spicy meals and then eat up prime fishing or hunting time and stink up tent, house/cabin and equipment with their spicy, greasy cooking and their upset, out of whack digestive systems!

This has been a opening day of fishing breakfast for a number of years. Note we use a toaster which you did not list. Bake your bacon ahead of time and chop it up when it cools. Keep in a good ziplock bag. When you want to cook take a small Pyrex bowl(3" in diameter)spray some Pam on the inside. Mix up one egg and put in bowl and toss in some bacon. Nuke for about a minute and toast a english muffin at the same time. Take a slice of cheddar cheese on toss it on the eggs and nuke for another 15-20 seconds or when the cheese melts. Butter up the english muffin and take one of the muffins and put it on the cheese side of the eggs. The eggs should come right out but if not just give the muffin a twist and it will release the egg from the bowl.These are way better than what you get at McDs. We will also use sausage or ham. Want to jazz it up add green pepper, jaloponos, onions or what ever floats your boat.
