In Malaysia, a common breakfast is roti telur + teh tarik which is close to the dark breakfast region. It's like paratha, with an egg, and milk tea. It is difficult to put milk into food. Why not just drink it? Alternatively, can we drink eggs and flour? Cheese is another variation for milk. What about grilled cheese and eggs? Or some variation on Mac and Cheese? You can also consider other dimensions like vegetables…

There is prior art in the grilled cheese and eggs area: Denny’s Moons Over My Hammy.

What sort of projection is this that turns a 3-dimensional space into a triangle! Fancy projection math is only for after coffee!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex Common for visualizing mixtures of three things!

While you are technically correct, since any triangle is a simplex, this is not relevant to this visualization.

For this visualization: get positive quantities in 3D space, normalize to 1, now you have dot on a triangle on 1-sphere in a positive octant. Project triangle into 2D space a this is your visualization.

Egg paratha is a common Indian dish. The dough can be made with flour and water, but is traditionally made with flour and milk. https://www.thedeliciouscrescent.com/omelette-stuffed-parath...

Roti Telur is basically Egg Paratha. Indian migrants brought Paratha to Malaysia and Singapore, and it underwent some "localization" to suit the local palate, including being drenched in palm oil as it is cooked on the flat griddle. Sure fire way to clog your arteries, if eaten on a daily basis.

We can certainly drink eggs, Rocky had a few in the morning before he went to punch hanging frozen meat.

I feel like excluding French toast is a serious faux pas here!

Breakfast burritos are also at least as important as quiche (as in, neither are as tasty without addins - just like omelettes).

What about vegetable-forward breakfasts? Completely not on this chart.

That's because such breakfasts are forbidden by the Geneva Convention articles, section 23, subsection 8, paragraph 4. It's not one of the more well known provisions, but it does exist, and nobody wants to break international law.

I was with you up to this point, but my suspension of disbelief has its limits.
