For many people, the leaves' changing colors can also mean it's the start of cold and flu season. With that, it's probably time to get your annual vaccinations and seek out foods that support a healthy immune system. While no one meal is an immediate immunity booster, you can still support your body's natural defense system with these delicious and nutritious breakfasts that are packed with two or more immunity-supporting nutrients like protein, vitamins A, C, D and E, and zinc. Recipes like our Apple Pie-Inspired Overnight Oats and our Roasted Red Pepper & Spinach Egg Bites are some of the most flavorful ways to make the most of your flu shot.
Apple Pie-Inspired Overnight Oats

There's no better way to usher in fall than apple pie-inspired overnight oats in the morning. Prep and store this easy breakfast ahead of time to have on hand for busy work and school mornings. You can substitute any nondairy milk for the reduced-fat milk, or try kefir if you want your oats extra tangy.
Roasted Sweet Potato Breakfast Sandwich

This hearty breakfast sandwich will keep you energized and satisfied until lunch, no problem. The roasted sweet potatoes become creamy on the inside, while the whole-grain English muffins are a great crisp contrast. Plus, there's protein from fried eggs, making this sandwich as colorful as it is delicious.
Roasted Red Pepper & Spinach Egg Bites

This egg bites recipe is inspired by Starbucks' popular grab-and-go breakfast, with each bite filled with veggies surrounded by a light and creamy egg custard. Once you get the hang of making these, try switching up the veggies and cheese. You can also add grated garlic, chopped fresh herbs or even a few dashes of hot sauce to give them a little kick.
Cauliflower Eggs Benedict with Turmeric Yogurt Sauce
![Cauliflower Eggs Benedict with Turmeric Yogurt Sauce](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/3ErUo0g3Jdg8CROyyHXIwOhoIW8=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/EW_produce-feature-CauliflowerAndChardBenedictWithYogurtHollandaise-007-0a6bd81c67de4cd187da60923eb9d8a0.jpg)
Here we swap in roasted cauliflower steaks for the typical English muffins to pack veggie servings into your morning meal. Turmeric's sunny hue gives the sauce hollandaise vibes—yet is much simpler to make.
Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds
![a recipe photo of the Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/r08LfJN1Hrf7RoPD9rna3ekSyPE=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Overnight-Oats-with-chia-seeds-130-2000-a5d718e6b4ff4d46926f04e0785aaf0e.jpg)
This easy overnight oats with chia seeds recipe is naturally sweetened with peaches, but any chopped fresh or frozen fruit works well here. Chia seeds thicken the mixture as it sits, and they offer a healthy dose of fiber and omega-3 fats. Store these oats in individual airtight containers (like a mason jar) for an easy breakfast on the go.
Breakfast Bowl with Egg, Spinach & Feta
![breakfast bowl with egg spinach and feta](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/ZnkGF2ApakN7a8NGWmQCjVVYZXA=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/breakfast-bowl-with-egg-spinach-feta-2f4395974af140edb1c3a0546b5ad97b.jpg)
This breakfast bowl with eggs, spinach and sesame-crusted feta is absolutely delicious. The sesame seeds add nuttiness and crunch to the feta, while the inside remains soft and creamy. If you're in a pinch for time, you can skip the step of cooking the feta, and use toasted sesame and crumbled feta as a garnish instead.
Menemen (Turkish Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes)
![a recipe photo of Menemen Turkish Eggs](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/_tXGqm7YmBhImKkVD7IH5IGlARA=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Menemen-Turkish-Eggs-v2-1x1-1-a090ffbca76943d49876b093e28432b5.jpg)
This hearty Turkish breakfast features a fragrant, tender tomato sauce with peppers and onions. The eggs add a silkiness to the dish, and a boost of protein. Serve with crusty whole-wheat bread to soak up all the sauce.
Bircher Muesli

Named after a Swiss physician, Bircher muesli features fresh apple, lemon juice and nuts. We added to this refreshing combo by including chia seeds for a boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, and we finish our version with a mix of fresh berries for color and flavor.
Sweet Potato, Broccoli & Wild Rice Hash

Cooking this hash in cast iron ensures you'll get crusty bits, but any nonstick skillet will work fine. Serve with your favorite hot sauce.
Easy Sheet-Pan Eggs with Mushrooms & Spinach
![a recipe photo of the Easy Sheet Pan Eggs with Mushroom and Spinach](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/j0c9FhvMvIob1KRmhg7Lxdjf2cI=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/EasySheetPanEggswithMushroomsandSpinach-RM-0340-0b2c50e632ae4d129f954145d76927bd.jpg)

These gluten-free buckwheat pancakes have an earthy, nutty flavor. Grapefruit adds a nice amount of fruity sweetness in addition to applesauce, which helps to sweeten the pancakes while keeping sugar in check. Top with Greek yogurt and more maple syrup if desired.
Scrambled Tofu & Spinach Wraps
![Scrambled Tofu & Spinach Wraps](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/wcq5jEvcAlcbRNO5urjeDZNJCcU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/JF_80483_Scrambled-Tofu-Burrito-2565eb4c3d6f4cbfa61f0175bb71d042.jpg)

This hearty quinoa breakfast bowl is topped with sliced almonds, bananas and almond butter, but you can easily mix and match toppings. For a drizzled look, warm the almond butter slightly in the microwave before topping each bowl.
Chickpea & Kale Toast
![Chickpea & Kale Toast](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/LBqUEVEO9h4CJgyE2XLKdGX7ilM=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/chickpea-and-kale-toast-0170b72cea894579953cfc18ede43417.jpg)

Chilaquiles usually start with a base of fried corn tortillas. We bake ours instead to save some calories and give them a crispy texture, perfect for absorbing all the smoky, spicy sauce.
Cheddar Grits with Sausage
![Cheddar Grits with Sausage](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/z6KWYRYFBO1dCNSDtw3P1JEvu7E=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/cheddar-grits-with-sausage-158c9c5a69e044b096ac216c8fb28311.jpg)

Traditional spanakopita gets a morning twist in these tasty breakfast sandwiches. Wilted spinach and arugula add color, while a fried egg adds a boost of protein. We break the egg yolk here, but you can keep it intact if you prefer a runnier one (just be careful when you flip it!).
Acai Bowl
![a recipe photo of the acai bowls](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/iAd9E9v1bS8KIdwBBHH-bPxFzPA=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/acai-bowls-200-2-964ae27a8d9c4fbd9fe63d7a02a4bf63.jpg)
