Breakfast ideas for a 5 year old

My DS is getting a bit bored of breakfast cereals.

What does everyone else give their children for breakfast apart from the usual stuff such as toast and fruit.

Thank you :)

yogurt, fruit, dippy eggs, scrambled eggs, occasional croissants?

Mine likes porridge best.

Sometimes she has rice and egg (with a bit of spinach if she's in an affable mood).

Yogurt and fresh fruit smoothies when I get organised (I put spinach in these too and she rolls her eyes and demands to know if there's "salid in this milkshake?").

She doesn't like toast but she will occasionally request a sandwich for breakfast.

Maybe porridge with DC's choice of topping?

Cereal, toast with anything - butter/spreadable cheese/jam etc
Porridge
Yoghurts (must admit they are the muller corner ones with the chocolate/biscuit balls)
And if we are really in a rush sometimes it's pan au chocolat or something he can eat in the car

We have mainly things you can toast - crumpets, muffins, scotch pancakes, fruit toast, bagels. Also mashed banana with yoghurt and blueberries.

The five year old I look after quite likes a jacket potato with cheese for breakfast - I microwave the potato for 5 min (not the best way to bake a potato, I prefer a crispy skin, but he's not bothered!) and top with grated cheese.
We also do blueberry pancakes, Greek yoghurt with a squirt of honey and wholemeal toast with peanut butter.

Boiled egg and soldiers
Scrambled egg
Poached eggs
Beans on toast

Pancakes and fruit

Waffles and fruit (I usually use some coconut or peanut flour to up protein content a bit)

Breakfast sundaes- thick thought, layered with things like berries and toasted nuts

Toasted bagels

Peanut butter on toast- I use the no sugar no salt stuff with the extra seeds

French toast

Omelette
