I love eggs for breakfast but I'm vegan otherwise. I'd love any ideas for breakfast. Doesn't have to have eggs in it either.

    I always make an egg white casserole. I roast up a couple of trays of vegetable, put them in a sprayed Pyrex. Mix in some baby spinach. Cover with egg whites and bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until cooked through. And, as I do with all my eggs, top with fresh salsa or hot sauce.

    Eggs are the most versatile of foods. Omelets. Crustless quiche, freeze-ahead. Souffle. Pancakes. French Toast. Muffins. Custards. Puddings.

    Every morning I have steel cut oatmeal with a 1/2 banana and unsweetened almond milk with eggs on the side and black coffee. Delish!

    Feel free to replace the white sugar with stevia, agave syrup, or honey.

    Remember that you don't always have to eat "breakfast" foods just because of the time of day. I often start my day with a cup of turkey chili because it is high in protein and low in carbs. Gives me a great boost and I am not a breakfast food lover.

    I love love love making baked egg white "muffins" by chopping up veggies (e.g., peppers, onions, cilantro) then mixing them in with the egg whites and baking in a silicone muffin tin at 350-ish degrees until they're set. Look up "egg white breakfast muffins" on google or pinterest for exact directions. They're sooo delicious!

    OP is "vegan"

    Eat the whole egg. runny fried eggs with mashed avocado on toast is amazing.

    I like pouched eggs over an english muffin, bed of spinach, grilled peppers and onions with swiss cheese.
    Omelets and egg muffin cups are also great options. Sometimes I also just whip up some egg whites and veggie sausage with or without a side of toast, yummy!

    You can also make pancakes using greek yogurt instead of the milk or water. I make these usually in a large batch and freeze for quick breakfasts during the week. My favorite is to top the pancakes with more greek yogurt, berries and granola.

    Egg whites with spinach and vegan cheese. Maybe try to find vegan "sausage" and toss that in as well!

    Are you having breakfast at my house? Because this is exactly what I have everyday.
    I mix some chopped peppers and onions in with the eggs and if I'm feeling frisky I'll top it off with hot sauce.

    One of my faves is what I call a potato/egg stack.
    3-4 oz frozen shredded hash brown potatoes cooked in a small good nonstick skillet with PAM or other spray. Use med-med hi heat and crisp on both sides.
    Place on a plate, lay a piece of 2% or other cheese over top. Cook an egg over easy and place on top of the cheese.
    You could just scramble egg whites and serve atop the potatoes.

    You could make a frittata with different veggies and eggs and avocado on toast are of course a classic. I sometimes make a sweet omelet whipping up the egg whites for extra fluffiness and topping it with banana, blueberries and honey (or in your case a vegan substitute).

    Thin slice a red potato (mine usually comes out to about 153 grams on my scale)
    2oz crumbled goat cheese
    Egg Whites from 3 Large eggs (comes out between 90-95 grams depending on the eggs)
    1oz diced portobello mushroom cap (no gills, but you can use the stem if you like it)
    1 garlic clove diced well (I roast mine before using it, but you don't have to)
    2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

    Get a good size skillet, but not too big. Heat up your oil and layer your potatoes on the bottom of the pan. Let them crisp up a little and flip them once.

    Then add in your mushrooms and garlic. Cover pan and let cook for 2 minutes.

    Pour in your egg whites and swirl pan around to make sure it gets over all the potatoes and between the potatoes. Set heat to low and cover till eggs are set up. If you want to flip it, then do so. If you're fine with it the way it is, then add on your goat cheese and cover for 30seconds to 1 minute.

    Plate and use a fork, knife, spatula to spread the cheese around.

    This comes out to about 310 calories. It's a big breakfast for me. For a lighter breakfast:

    1/2 tsp olive oil
    1/4 cup sliced grape tomatoes
    1/3 cup egg whites (usually works out to be the whites of two large eggs)
    1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
    1 tsp grated/shredded parmesan
    Fresh Herb Chopped to top with (optional)
    Salt and Pepper to taste

    Heat pan and when hot, add oil and tomatoes. Cook about a minute, no flipping or anything.

    Add egg whites and move pan around to make sure they trap up all the tomatoes. Cook about another minute.

    Top with cheeses and reduce heat to low. Cook till eggs are completely set. Plate and top with fresh herbs, salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

    It's like an egg pizza and just under 200 calories.

    I love omelets, so I'll usually mix half a cup of egg whites and one egg and then add whatever else I'm in the mood for. For me personally, my favorite things to pair with eggs (though not all at once... but then again, I never tried) is shredded cheese and either basil pesto, hummus, or guacamole. I've seen some recipes online for protein powder and egg white pancakes as well, though I haven't had a chance to try them yet!

    Or, if you prefer something vegan, I loooove the taste of 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I'm sure you could find a soy-based brand) mixed with 1 cup silk almond milk, and 1-2 tbsp nut butter of your choice (I prefer Justin's maple almond) Very filling and delicious

    There is a recipe in The Vegan Slow Cooker cookbook for apple sage sausage. I make a batch of these patties about every two weeks and freeze them. I reheat them in the microwave and eat them on toast. Delicious and more cost effective than Morningstar patties. Add some fruit and you have an easy breakfast to eat on the way to work!

    LOL you don't want healthy skin and shiny hair? Just saying. In this case, if its good for your dog, why isn't it good for your?

    Some people don't like the taste of egg yolks. I feed mine to my dog. There are other ways to have healthy skin and shiny hair. Don't need to eat egg yolks to do that.

    I always get red and green bell peppers, cilantro, and add pepper. On occasion I have put zucchini in it and some red onion. But that's normally what I do. :)

    I sometimes have a half muffin with my eggs. Or a side of oatmeal with honey. But if you want things to put in your eggs- green onions are a staple in my house and I absolutely love the flavor in my eggs. This morning I had green onions, bell pepper, turkey bacon and a sprinkle of cheddar in my omelet. Sometimes I used spinach, garlic and feta cheese and that is a pretty good combination. I don't eat just egg whites because they are too bland for me so I eat the whole egg. But I bet those would still turn out great in egg whites.

    I add egg whites to leftover oatmeal and "fry" it in a nonstick skillet to make a sort of simple pancake.
