Rather than tell you what I personally eat, maybe it will be useful to know what American diners serve for breakfast. You can walk into any locally-owned diner anywhere in the country and order from a menu almost exactly like this:
Breakfast Combo: Two eggs (scrambled, fried, or over easy/medium/hard), meat (bacon, sausage links, steak, or ham), and a carb (pancakes, toast, a biscuit, or hash browns)
Biscuits and Gravy: Two biscuits with sausage gravy over the top. Sometimes served with an egg.
Pancakes: A short stack is 2 and a tall stack is 4. Served with maple syrup.
Skillet/Omelet: Eggs scrambled with onions, bell peppers, cheese, and meat. An alternate version, sometimes called “loaded hash browns,” uses hash browns instead of eggs.
Breakfast Burrito: An omelet wrapped up in a tortilla. May be smothered with red or green chili sauce for a Tex-Mex spin.
Oatmeal: Boiled oats with fruit, granola, syrup, etc.
Eggs Benedict: Poached egg on an English muffin with ham and hollandaise sauce.
And then each diner will have their own “famous” specialty, like stuffed French toast, “home fries” (pan-fried potato chunks), huge pancakes, or sausage made in house. It’s hard to go wrong though, American breakfasts are consistently pretty tasty.
If you wanna try something different but really good, a lot of breakfast places near me have a variant of Eggs Benedict usually called something like Irish Eggs Benedict, which replaces the ham with corn beef hash. Add a side of home fries, and you’ve got something that’ll really stick to your ribs and keep you full and happy for half the day.

American Diner breakfasts are not anything like people’s daily meals.
Says who? In a typical month I make myself most of the above at least once.
