What are the things that are in your breakfast rotation, and how often do you have them? Do you ever deviate?
I usually have a handful (about 15) bite size shredded wheats in milk. Once a week, French toast. On Sunday, eggs, either fried with sausage and toast, or scrambled with refried beans and tortillas.
No coffee -- I have my daily cup of that later in the morning, at the office, with a piece of home-baked cake. Except on Sunday, which is why I have a big breakfast that day.
I have what I am hungry for no matter what time of the day it is or what the food is. We are not regimented in anything we do so there is no "breakfast" food in our home, there is food and if we want Tacos in the morning and waffles after dark that is what we have.

Breakfast can be anything in our house....and since we like typical breakfast foods....we can have those anytime as well. we had meatloaf sandwiches for breakfast this morning.
During the week, it's usually a plain greek yogurt with a little fruit and a KIND bar. On the weekends, it's usually a couple scrambled eggs, turkey sausage and frozen gluten free waffles. I occasionally change it up, but those are sort of my default options.
Breakfast is important for me, and I eat breakfast every day. Breakfast helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, which regulate appetite and energy. I noticed that after I eat breakfast, I am less likely to be hungry and overeat during the rest of the day.
However I have no schedule or meal rotation. I eat for breakfast whatever I have at home.
It could be Müsli with milk or yogurt, and fresh fruit/nuts - especially when I am in a hurry,
or open face whole-wheat, whole grain or rye sandwich with cold meats, smoked ham and cheese & soft cooked egg,
or leftover soup from previous day,
or eggs prepared many ways with potatoes, if I have any leftover,
or poached egg with ham, served on bread with butter, and topped with cheese,
Generally - never white bread or anything sweet. Typical foods for my breakfast will included cold cuts, smoked fish, savory spreads or salads, hard cheese, quark, eaten with whole grain bread, and fresh fruits. I also like to eat raw vegetables for breakfast, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, lettuce, red radishes, green onions - with my eggs or open face sandwiches.

The only time I will have something sweet is with my afternoon tea.
To drink - besides an orange or carrot juice, I always have strong, hot black tea, sometimes with milk.
Three meals a day, and no snacking during the day, except a glass of juice or piece of fruit, or one small cookie with my afternoon tea.
On the weekends it can vary quite a bit. This morning I had a bagel with fried pancetta, arugula, sliced tomato, manchego and an egg. Tomorrow I'm making some sort of savory crepe type thing.
During the week it doesn't vary all that much, usually coffee, a bagel or bowl of cereal, and a few handfuls of whatever fruit we have around that week (grapes, strawberries, blueberries, etc.).
I hard-boil a half dozen eggs. I oven-cook a pound of bacon (sometimes sausage). I cut up a pineapple into bite sized chunks. (In season, I vary the pineapple with strawberries). When I'm ready to eat, I don't want to wait while it cooks.
When I first wake up, a cup of coffee. About an hour later, one hard-boiled egg, two slices of bacon, some fruit and another cup of coffee. On occasion, I'll have a little yoghurt and some Special K. When it's snowing and gray and cold, I sometimes have a bowl of oatmeal with some cinnamon toast (real comfort food for me). Actually, if I'm feeling particularly low, I'll have it all at the same meal! Fortunately, that doesn't happen often. And no, I don't get tired of the same thing every day. Why would I? If I liked it enough to eat it yesterday...

I usually eat leftovers from dinner. Yesterday I had a small piece of fish and some cheese grits. The day before I had spaghetti. This morning I made two eggs and 1/2 an English muffin, but could only eat 1 egg and a couple of bites off the muffin. Earlier this week I had half of a kids meal burger. Last week I had Chinese food for breakfast almost every day as we had lots of leftovers.
I'm not really a big breakfast person. I usually either do Greek yogurt with a little granola mixed in or I'll whip up a smoothie with a scoop of protein powder. I've always hated eggs and things like pancakes and waffles make me feel sluggish, so for me a lighter breakfast is better.
