I'm not a doctor, but I think the link between cholesterol in food and high blood cholesterol has been pretty well debunked. See the link. I'm not sure about bacon (other than that it's delicious), but I think the current wisdom on eggs is that they're pretty awesome for you and you shouldn't worry about eating them as often as you'd like, even if you have high cholesterol.

Also, for a more filling, healthy breakfast option, I like a cup of plain Greek yogurt (I prefer whole milk, but 2% is okay, fat-free is gross) with some fresh berries, and something healthy to add some texture (flax seed, slivered almonds). Its quick if you have all of the ingredients on hand, high in protein and good fats, and a lot more filling than something more carb-heavy (like toast or cereal).
