I've been making the same scrambled eggs and bacon for like 3 years. Kids are getting bored and honestly so am I. Tried pancakes last week and the kids actually ate all of them without complaining so maybe that's the move. What do you guys do on weekend mornings?
Hash browns! I started making those with the eggs and bacon and it's like a whole new breakfast to the kids. Plus my wife actually wants to eat it now instead of just picking at it. Also found that waffles on a Saturday hits different than regular toast.
Try French toast. Takes maybe five extra minutes and the kids think it's fancy. I rotate between that, pancakes, and eggs depending on the weekend.
Same scrambled eggs and bacon for years here too. My kids actually requested pancakes last weekend and I realized I hadn't made them in forever. Switched it up and they went crazy for it.
Switch it up with some french toast or pancakes. My kids love when I add chocolate chips or blueberries to pancakes. Takes maybe five extra minutes and they think it's a huge treat. Breaks up the monotony too.
Try breakfast burritos. You can batch prep them and just reheat on weekends. Scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese, throw it in a tortilla. Kids love them and it takes about the same time as regular eggs but feels fancier. Game changer for us.
Oatmeal with fruit, granola, and a little honey. My three would literally eat cereal every day if I let them so switching to hot breakfast some mornings makes them feel special. Saves money too compared to trying new stuff constantly.

Breakfast burritos changed the game for us. Throw in some cheese, sausage, peppers, whatever you have. Let the kids help assemble them and they're more invested in eating.
Have you tried letting the older kids help cook? My kids got way more excited about breakfast once they had a hand in making it.
