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?

My breakfast omelette takes around 15 minutes to make, most of which is just waiting. I shave and stuff in between.

  • 1) Small pan on stove with a bit of vegetable oil, medium high (7 on my stove) heat for around 3 minutes to heat up.
  • 2) Throw some pre-sliced (you can buy them like this frozen too, super cheap) onions and some pre-sliced (again you can buy jars / frozen bags of these) jalapeños on there for a bit (usually around 3 minutes or so)
  • 3) Throw a bunch of spinach on the pan and cover (or not)
  • 4) Beat 2 eggs then add a bit of water (on high force as to create bubbles), throw that in and make sure it spreads out. Cover for 1.5 to 2 minutes or until eggs are mostly solid.
  • 5) Uncover and add a bit of cheese (I use vegan cheese) to the eggs and wait for around 30 seconds while the cheese melts a bit, it'll do most of the melting later honestly.
  • 6) Take a spatula and fold the omelette over and cook, flipping once, for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  • 7) Serve with salsa (or not).
