breakfast food

Eggs and toast

Breakfast food is food typically eaten in the morning—eggs, bacon, toast, cereal, pancakes.

The category is culturally specific; what counts as breakfast food varies widely across countries.

In American usage, the term often refers specifically to cold cereals: The breakfast food aisle takes up half the store.
