Probably the most common breakfast in the states is bacon and eggs, with the eggs being however you like them; scrambled, omelette, etc. Pancakes or waffles are common, too, but I'm not a fan. Biscuits and gravy are big in the South, and they love their grits. Being from PA, for the longest time, I was like Joe Pesci in
My Cousin Vinnie..."What's a grit?
I personally seldom eat breakfast, and only make it maybe once every other weekend or so. Last weekend I made Western omelettes. This giant plate with 3 eggs was for my hungry teenager.

On occasion, I'll smoke a breakfast fatty if we have people over for brunch, which is a spicy ground breakfast sausage rolled out across a bacon weave, that is topped with scrambled eggs, onions, peppers, and shredded cheese, rolled up, seasoned, and smoked. It's more of a thing for people with smokers, but you could do it in the oven, as well.

A couple of weeks prior to that, I think I made a Swiss Potato Rosti for the first time, which was good, but took a lot longer than "easy" bacon and eggs.
A big local thing in Penna is scrapple, which is fried pork scraps mixed with cornmeal and spices, but that's more of an older generation thing. I don't care for it. Another is honkey eggs, which is made with eggs, home fries, peppers, onions, and ham mixed together, and usually served with toast. Sugary boxed cereals are all too common, unfortunately, especially with kids, but my family doesn't eat that junk at all.
