breakfast staple
Eggs or toast
A breakfast staple is a food commonly eaten at the morning meal across a culture or household—eggs, toast, cereal, bacon, oatmeal.
The phrase often appears in nutrition discussions or when describing regional food customs: Grits are a breakfast staple in the American South.
Something called a breakfast staple suggests it's expected rather than occasional.
