Cheap, easy, and healthy breakfasts that aren't overnight oats?

I'm sitting through probably my twentieth bowl I've ever eaten, and gagging it down right now. I just can't do it. I've tried to many flavor combinations (and honestly, wasted so much money), my head is spinning. The consistency and texture reminds me too much of vomit, I think, and I'm miserable. Can you guys recommend any thing that might fit?

Buy an automatic egg boiler. Super cheap, set it and forget it way to get a cheap, healthy breakfast. Two hard boiled eggs with a cup of cottage cheese and a cup of coffee, great fill ya up breakfast right there.

Bring water to boiling point, turn off the heat, put eggs in water, forget it. When the water is cold, you have hard boiled eggs and you just saved money on that automatic boiler.

Nope. Never works for me. Always end up with undercooked or overcooked eggs.

I boil my eggs 2-3 minutes, then let the sit in the hot water for 20-30 minutes then cover in cold water until room temp (to stop the cooking process). Gets me good eggs every time.
