I love breakfast sandwiches. At one point, I was seriously considering open a small store that specialized in breakfast sandwiches. How great would that be to step off the train in downtown Chicago, or a busy L stop by one of the universities and grab a freshly made gourmet breakfast sandwich for your walk? I had actually come up with about two dozen combinations before reality set in. 

If you want something savory for breakfast, look no further than our Toulouse sandwich. Fresh scrambled eggs on a flaky croissant with bacon and ham, drizzled with bechamel sauce.

Love the English breakfast except for the English-style bacon. Tried the black pud, once was enough. I’ll skip the tomato. I love the Bircher Muesli I had in Switzerland and New Zealand - tried to duplicate it at home with limited success. The usual meat-cheese-and bread offerings in Europe are fine but I get tired of them. Eating at home, one of my weird favorites is bagel and cream cheese with bacon on type (I rarely indulge). Oh and sausage gravy on biscuit, yum.

Crumpets or Turkish or Asian... always Asian on a plane
Banana on toasted English crumpets with butter. Same on Vogel bread toasted.
Turkish breakfasts... in Turkey.
Always Asian breakfast in a plane. Lost count of the giggles I've had seeing others choose the "American breakfast" option omelette. They got a rubber frisbee, I got a wonderful breakfast.

Anything without eggs.
I don't get much choice when visiting the USA, where eggs for breakfast seems to be a religion (or a clever marketing ploy by the egg industry there).
I do like the fact that avocado on toast is appearing on more menus, and I rarely turn down a bacon or sausage (british-style) sandwich as long as there are no eggs in it.
Does breakfast sandwich imply there are eggs in it? I've struggled to find an eggless breakfast sandwich in North American countries.
Followed by leftover trifle 
Yes!! Especially if the pizza has bacon on it.
Bubble and squeak? Very traditional, and also nutritious
But please, no brussel sprouts, they're the work of the devil. I was surprised to see how trendy they seemed to be, on my last trip to California, when they were on most menus. We tend to only eat them on Christmas Day in the UK, and the traditional way of dealing with them is to only take two out of politeness then secretly feed them to the dog.

I suppose it varies by country/region. But it needs a traditional breakfast item of some type in it, or it's just a sandwich. In the US, we have some non-egg variations, such as fried chicken on a buttermilk biscuit, or a breakfast sausage (patty not link) and cheese biscuit. Then, of course, you could use waffles or pancakes as the "bread" and have them double as the breakfast components.

This.
My favorite breakfast also depends on teh circumstances and even my mood. Some days, I crave something light and healthy. Other days, primarily cold, winter days, I crave a heavier breakfast.
On Sundays, Barron's for me. Assuming USPS delivers it on Saturday.
It so depends on the circumstances. A cold winter's day on the road, or even at home, a lovely cooked breakfast is to die for (and, if I eat too many, no doubt I will...). But one of the most idyllic breakfasts I have ever had was on a terrace overlooking Orvieto, with fresh fruit juice, ripe tomatoes, perfect olive oil and wonderful breads, as well as home made jam and marmalade. Perfection.
