Woke up crazy early today because honestly, my breakfast routine’s been a disaster lately. Grabbed coffee and shoved granola bars in my mouth while running to meetings last week. Felt like crap by 10 AM every single time. Enough is enough.
The Game Plan
Dug through my fridge and pantry first thing. Found some eggs, half an avocado going brown, sad-looking spinach, and leftover cherry tomatoes. Remembered that bag of frozen berries buried in the freezer. Grabbed whole-wheat bread too – stale but toastable.
Assembly Line Mode
Turned on the stove and got two pans going. While olive oil heated in one pan, I cracked eggs straight into it. Bam – that sizzle! Threw bread in the toaster with my other hand. Dumped frozen berries into the other pan with a splash of water. Let those simmer while I:
- Rinsed spinach under the tap real quick
- Sliced avocado with that sketchy knife I keep forgetting to replace
- Halved tomatoes with my fingers because who has time for cutting boards?
Flipped the eggs just as toast popped up. Smashed berries with a fork – instant compote! Plating was literally dumping stuff on a plate: eggs sliding next to toast, greens tossed on the side, berry goop slopped over everything. Finished with a sprinkle of salt and pepper from that one grinder I own.
Why This Actually Works
Took 12 minutes flat. Ate standing up while packing my lunch bag. Surprise – the berry juice makes spinach taste kinda good. Eggs kept me full till noon. Best part? Only dirtied two pans and a plate. Threw everything in dishwasher while chewing last bite.
Real talk – this ain’t Instagram pretty. Avocado was borderline mushy and my eggs tore while flipping. But my stomach didn’t growl during the 9AM call. That’s a win. Tomorrow I’ll grab yogurt instead of spinach. Maybe even peel a banana if feeling fancy. Just keep it fast and feed yourself, people.
