Of course at a MudGather, breakfast is whatever anyone makes with whatever has been brought. I just lay it all out on the kitchen island before I go to bed. MMario made strada once-- baking pan full of layers of bread, egg/milk, cheese, etc.

I make a similar dish, more deep-dish and higher in cholesterol, that is a Hunter's Breakfast or Leaf-Peepers' item. I make it and bake it the night before, though-- I ain't getting up early enough to make breakfast for anyone, except when Hardi has to plow the drive in the winter or, maybe, during Lent and Holy Week so he doesn't collapse!

Thermometers were to help me gauge how the oil heater was working the first winter if use-- each side of the room was way different. Actually I just took one down today for the dog run, so I can see how shivery it is when I put the dogs out for the morning.
