Breakfast ideas for non egg eating 11yo

[EleanorLavish]

He wants Krave, Pain au Choc, pancakes. Every day.
He gets extra lean bacon, toast, porridge oats with a tea spoon of honey.
He says he hates peanut butter. He refuses all fruit. Hates eggs apparently.
Any suggestions for decent filling breakfast for worlds fussiest 11yo?
Thanks!

I was getting myself toast or cereal at that age. I was full enough.

I thought your DS might be my son until I got to "refuses all fruit"

Mine doesn't like eggs, cereal or peanut butter but does eat fruit. He has yoghurt with blueberries and banana, or toasted bagel or crumpets and a piece of fruit. Toast with marmalade or Ready Brek with honey will be eaten but criticised.

Oddly mine will eat French toast (despite the eggs) but he only gets that (or pancakes) at the weekend as I don't have the time during the week.

My son's not a picky or fussy eater at all but all his dislikes seem to be centred around standard breakfast items!

You have to decide. What is more important to you making sure he eats or making a point? Is it worth getting in a battle of wills?

My 13 yo and 15 yo have stopped eating breakfast because I will only buy chocolatey shit at the weekend.

I provide crumpets, yogurt, weetabix, porridge, toast. They can’t be bothered so don’t eat it. I can’t make them.

Think outside the box of breakfast food; a ham sandwich, cheese toasty, one little boy I looked after used to love a baked potato and beans for breakfast - very quick to do in the microwave. If you are making pancakes, rather than buying them ready made they can be quite nutritious, they've got egg, I put Greek yoghurt in instead of milk and you can use wholemeal flour, add some blueberries or banana and that's not a bad breakfast.

Corn or zucchini fritters? Make the mix the night before?

(Can probably find vegan versions if it's all forms of egg he dislikes). Goes well with the bacon you're already cooking.

Thanks for the replies, sorry only getting back now.
I have an older child with Asperger a and an extremely limited diet, so we don’t do angst at mealtimes as he can’t cope.
I don’t mind DS2 having the sweeter things at the weekend, we do homemade pancakes quite a bit then too. But on school days he actually tells me he is starving by break time.
He obviously needs a filling breakfast, but without eggs or fruit, or using processed meats too often it’s hard.
I’ll maybe try a cheese toasty, and the Ftench toast. He has always dismissed it as he doesn’t like eggs.

Beans on toast.

Kedgeree

Hearty soup like minestrone or vegetable and barley.

I find porridge to be the most filling. Will he eat fruit if it's cooked? My DS likes porridge with blueberries (in before microwaving) or with chopped apple and raisins. Apple, chopped hazelnuts and cardamom is also nice.

Sausage sandwich.
Beans on toast.
cheese and ham croissant.
Crumpets.
Potato cakes.
Mushrooms on toast.
Tinned tomatoes on toast.

Mushrooms on toast, mmmm.
All great suggestions, thank you.

My DS11 has half a bagel with a bit of passata and some cheese and put under grill. Almost like breakfast pizza! Sometimes has a sausage roll.

One of mine went through a phase of fish finger sandwiches for breakfast!

Beans on potato waffle

I'd be looking at giving him something to eat at break time. I have my breakfast at 7am and mostly break into my lunch at 11-11.30, and I am not a growing teenage boy!

I'm not an egg eater, but I like French toast with bacon, and maple syrup for a treat.

Avocado or cream cheese on wholemeal toast/bagels/crumpets. Carbohydrates for energy and fat and protein to keep full.

Hash browns - I put them from frozen in the oven before I go up to bed and use the timer on the oven to cook ready for 7am

My DS had minestrone soup for breakfast the other week.

Another one for beans on (brown) toast. Low in fat, high fibre, very filling, quick and easy. Ticks all the boxes imo.

Nonononoooo, I have the fussiest DC ever.
I'd be delighted if they had porrage oats!
DD used to turn her nose up at everything, then moan about being hungry on the walk to school already.
She now has lightly toasted bagel with ham.

Banana bread.

One of mine has a bowl of pasta with ham and cheese.
One has fish fingers in a wrap
The other likes fish fingers and broccoli

All are cooked whilst they get dressed. easy, filling and most importantly they actually eat them!

Marmite on toast (they either love it or hate it!)
Cheese on toast
Toasted bagel (with or without philadelphia cream cheese)
Big soup (nice chunks of veg in there)
Big bowl of cornflakes
Hot dog sandwiches (quick and easy to make)
small jacket potato with cheese or beans
Bowl of tuna pasta mayonnaise (make it the night before)

I don’t like eggs either.

French toast is good because when you add milk and some spices like cinnamon you don’t taste the egg but you get it’s protein and calories anyway.

Bagel with cream cheese is another good idea.
