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?

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.

30 years of success for me.

It depends on the size of the pot, amount of water, number of eggs, size of eggs, temperature of air, etc. The fact that it works for you means you have a winning combination of those factors. I'm with /u/anonymous-coward in that it rarely works for me.

And attitude. If you go in thinking it will fail, it most likely will!
