I generally pack a bagel with cream cheese, or a pocket of instant oatmeal to eat once I get to work, but I'm looking for options that incorporate protein. I don't have time to cook eggs every morning, but if you have something I can make ahead and reheat, I'd be interested to see it.

my go-tos for high protein breakfasts are egg whites, which take about 3 minutes to cook, banana pancakes (which you could make ahead of time and reheat theoretically) Banana pancakes are just a smashed banana mixed with an egg (add water to get to desired consistency - I don't do this, but mine are usually pretty watery to being with)
I've been eating hard boiled eggs for breakfast lately. I make a big batch on Sunday for the upcoming week.
Do you eat anything else with them? How long do they keep you feeling full?
I usually eat two with a little salt and they keep me surprisingly full. I eat around 6:30-7 and don't each lunch until 11:45 or so, and most days I'm fine. On the weekends I'll eat a huge bowl of oatmeal and a piece of fruit for breakfast around 9 and I'm starving by 11.
My favorite breakfast is a bagel thin, peanut butter, and a sliced banana.
I also love oatmeal. An oatmeal bake (good recipes on Annie's Eats) - both with regular oatmeal and steel cut - is easy and DH will eat them. I put it in the oven and then workout. A favorite is steel cut oatmeal with berries and Nutella.
I make steel cut oatmeal like this: 1 cup oats 1 tablespoon butter cook until the oats are toasted add in 4 cups water Bring to a boil and cook for one minute let sit overnight cook for ~10 minutes in the morning makes 4 servings, I refrigerate 3 and reheat in the microwave.
I usually eat an English muffin or bagel with cream cheese or peanut butter.
To add protein, I like the idea of hard boiled eggs to have with whole grain toast (I'm a carb person, I couldn't just eat eggs). Or, something like these scrambled egg muffins can be made Sunday and reheated throughout the week (or frozen for later).
