Breakfast ideas please for DD1 aged 9yrs - doesn't like cereal, eggs, yogurt

DD1 is 9yrs old and seems reluctant to eat any breakfast unless it's filled with sugar, but I can't allow her to live off pain-au-chocolat and chocolate muffins.

She's not fussed on cereal, doesn't eat scrambled or boiled egg, will eat a fried egg at a push (but tends to leave the yolk?!), not keen on yogurt. She loves fruit but that's sugar again and not hugely filling, so I'm really stuck on how to get a decent filling breakfast into her. She will eat a couple of bites of toast but she won't have any topping.

Does anyone have other ideas for brekkie, or have I tried them all? Also what amount would be suitable for a 9yr old girl, surely she needs to eat a bit for breakfast? She has a fruit snack in school mid-morning, usually a small apple or a sliced kiwi, and she takes a sandwich/yogurt/biscuit/for school lunch.

Thankfully her younger sister is easier to please and has porridge or scrambled eggs followed by fruit.

Thanks ladies....unfortunately scrambled eggs are a no-no but yesterday I pushed the boat out and she had a fried egg with whole meal toast (and a ton of ketchup Hmm). Dd had a dairy allergy up to 3yrs old so she didn't get to eat/try cereals (as didn't like cows milk substitutes) ...and now she has all milk products but does not like plain milk which limits choices...

About half of Europe has bread, cheese and ham for breakfast. You could try that.

Hard boiled egg. Scotch egg.

Something non breafasty - what does she like in a sandwich for her lunch?

Rice pudding? Make the day before and heat it up. I fed this to mine to try and use it up one morning and it went down very easily - sprinkle with cinammon if too plain

My son (18) makes smoothies every day. Especially with bananas. For mango we buy cans of pulp (yes, he does make that many!).
