*stoically poking spoon into breakfast bowl*

Those little shelf-stable boxes of silken tofu are a pretty good option for a low-effort high-protein warm breakfast: slurry together some dashi powder and miso paste in a bowl with enough water to dissolve, dump in the tofu and break into chunks, add more water to fill the bowl (and maybe add some frozen spinach), and nuke until warm/hot.

Tastyish and easy... but boy, it gets repetitive after a few days. I really need to look into mass-producing breakfast burritos to stuff into the freezer.

Breakfast burritos! Oh, hey, that sounds good right now.

I also find egg muffins freeze well in large batches, especially if you give them a little sausage or sausage-replacement and maybe a dried tomato (which re-hydrates on nuking).

The prefab breakfast burrito I tried was rather potato-intensive-- I was thinking eggs, bacon, shredded cheese, maybe some compatible sauteed vegetables (peppers? mushrooms?). Dried tomatoes would be a great addition, now that you mention it.

Do the muffin halves need to be toasted before assembly/freezing?

I actually re-warm mine in the toaster oven, so I don't pre-toast. Ten minutes at 300 does that nicely. I think it also makes the eggs un-freeze in a better texture, but that might just be me.
