 There was some interest a while back in healthy hot breakfasts I manage to prepare in 10 min or so, pre-coffee. I went back to repeats of the old ones for a bit, so there's been a gap, but two new ones have just arisen. OK, so some people who imagine "conventional" means something other than "boring" won't want them at breakfast time, but that's their problem. The basic requirements of carbs plus protein are filled.

Hot-dog sandwich
Thanks to [personal profile] pbristow for this one. He actually wrote up the detailed recipe as a shanty, but the post is private :(
Precis version: Three frankfurters. Microwave-blat at 20 sec a time on kitchen towel, turning. Put between two slices of bread.
Chef Bristow,  if you have a useful link, I think that shanty should be more widely known.
That's 4 WW points for the bread, 7 for the frankfurters (depending on brand).

"Chicken" fillet burger
I love the texture of the sort of "chicken burger" that fast-food places do - soft bread, crunchy breadcrumb on the "burger", crisp iceberg lettuce. This isn't chicken, but....
Turn the grill on
Put kettle on
Take a Quorn Crispy coated Lemon & Black Pepper Escalope from the fridge, along with the lettuce and some low-fat mayo
Put fillet under grill.
Make coffee.
Pour tomato juice, use to take tablets.
Spread mayo on 2 slices of bread, apply lettuce to one slice, keep as much again aside. Put jar and rest of lettuce back in fridge.
Sip coffee. Still too hot.
Turn Quorn over (it needed about 5 min. a side)
Go and do 5 min. on the Wii Fit (that's one run through Stepper Plus)
Come back to kitchen, put grilled Quorn on lettuce, add extra lettuce on top, apply second slice of bread, press down hard to make it small enough to get in your mouth. 
Cut sandwich in half.
Remember to turn grill off
Wander up to PC, sandwich and coffee in hand(s).
mmm.... crunchy salad-y carby goodness... nice bite of lemon.... mmm...

Again, 4 WW points for the bread, 7 for the protein part.
