What is the cheapest way to cook a good breakfast ?
Answers:
Well since we don't know what YOU want for breakfast, it's a bit hard to answer. If you like eggs, they are very cheap and easy to scramble or fry. Sausage and bacon are fairly cheap, especially if you buy in bulk. Cereals run from $3 to $4 per box and of course, toast is cheap too.
You know, in fact, breakfast must be the cheapest meal to make!
at someone else's house, using their stove, and their food.
next?
ummm... don't quite get the question. You want breakfast ideas that are cheap, or cooking methods that are cheap? If it's cooking, some say gas is cheaper some disagree. Maybe a long match? Can't really say without more information.
Make an egg - omlet , use any leftovers in your fridge and get some local bread and enjoy with a nice cuppa of coffee or tea :%()
have someone else buy the food.
eggs in my area are 99 cents a dozen and a good source of protein. So scrambled eggs or an omelet sound good to me. If you have some herbs growing in your yard (or a neighbor's) you can add those for free. You could feed a family of 4-5 for 99 cents. If you have a little cheese in the fridge to add that's even better.
Oatmeal is a great choice and you can add dried fruit, syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon for flavor. That and a piece of good toast is a great breakfast.
Malt-o-Meal or Cream of Wheat is similar but has a very smooth texture.
There are many simple breads and muffins that you can make with just flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, and oil. You can put in bananas or berries and some nuts and you've got a dozen muffins for about $3-$4.
The simplest thing you can do is buy a loaf of good quality bread for toast. It should be heavy, dense, and have very few ingredients except for maybe a lot of different grains. The toast you make from high quality bread is very filling so even thought it may be more expensive than "air" bread you don't need as much to fill up. Toast topped with preserves or cheese, a piece of fruit, and milk or juice makes a very good breakfast for very cheap.
French Toast
Most folks already have all the ingredients in their house right now to make pancakes and scrambled eggs. At most you may have to go out and buy some maple syrup and bacon/sausage. YUM! ...practically free. :)
