Boil them the night before, peel & store in the fridge. They make a fantastic grab & go snack! You can do a few days worth at a time. Any left over, you can always use up in a curry or a salad.

Instead of pulling out pots and pans every morning, try the microwave. Microwaved eggs cook up super quick and don’t need all the grease. Make sure to poke the yolk to prevent it from popping! If you wanna avoid animal products, try soy products like tofu, tempeh, or edamame. They are all high in complete proteins.

I do a combo- a big batch of hard boiled for the week when I really have no time and can grab it quick, and a pan fry when I have more time!

Hard boil eggs the night before to have already cooked eggs in the morning. Or scrambled eggs tend to take the least amount of time

I usually boil an egg, as that allows me to do other things. I always put a timer on so I can focus my attention on getting ready, reading the news or preparing other foods to go with the egg. If you don’t plan on doing anything else, scramble eggs are fast to make too. Hope that helps you :)

You can pre-boil eggs on your day off and have 1-2 with some toast or microwaved beans in the morning for some protein. I usually have Greek yogurt instead. A quick scramble is also easy, and baked egg recipes may let you get ready while your egg cooks. There are plenty online.

It’s always nice to have some protein bars at home, so you can just grab them on the go, but eggs just as hard boiled eggs are a great source of protein too

If you don’t have the time/mental space to prepare ahead of time the fastest way to go from raw egg to cooked and ready to eat is to fry it - put some oil or butter in a pan, heat it on medium heat, crack the egg into the pan, let it cool until the bottom is opague and the white is bubbling a little, then you can either put some water in the pan and cover it if you want it sunny side up or flip the egg and fry on the other side. You can choose how runny the yolk is by how long you cook your egg. Heat up some toast while this is happening if you really want a nice quick meal. If you don’t like fried eggs, scrambled eggs also don’t take much time. Crack them in a bowl, add salt and pepper and a dash of milk, whisk with a fork, then scramble in a pan heated on medium with some oil. Now if you can do some prep ahead of time, hardboil a few eggs and leave them in the fridge. They only take about 12 minutes to prep and there’s nothing faster than cracking open a hard boiled egg, adding some salt and pepper and chowing down.

Keep a non stick or oiled pan on the stove and just break an egg in the morning, add some oil if it doesnt take time. You can have oatmeal also as a source of protein, flavored yogurt. Boil an egg and warm it next day by tossing it in hot water for a minute (not the yummiest option).

Hey!! if you are trying to get healthier don’t add butter to the pan (it is not good for you ):get a pan but t if you have one that is like “waterproof “ no de that if not get a pan and get however much eggs you want to eat let’s say you want to eat 2 eggs hit them on something u til the eggshells break once they crack open them and put them on the pan also I forgot to add this but make sure you put the pan on the stove please be careful now put the eggs in the pan and wait the part that is clear it will start to turn white same for the yolk but that will be yellow
