Grilled breakfast?

What are some things that you can grill for breakfast? Ideally fall/autumnal in tone--actually grilled, not just cooked in a cast-iron pan/griddle atop a grill--OK if it's paired with something that's not grilled.
Best answer: I grill potatoes all of the time, wrapped in foil. I cut them relatively small then toss with onions, garlic (granulated works well here), salt, pepper, thyme, and olive oil. Then I just dump them on a large sheet of foil and wrap them up. I put them over high heat for 10 to 15 minutes, and then move them off the heat, keeping the grill covered, for 10 minutes or so. You can grill whatever else you're grilling while they cook on the side without the heat. It's my preferred way of making potatoes.

Best answer: Grilled peaches. Heaven. For fall, grilled apples, sliced and brushed with butter and honey.
You can also wrap lots of things up in a foil packet and place the packet on the grill.

Grilled meats and vegetables are wonderful on top of polenta. Grits are related to polenta so take traditional breakfast things that Maxwell_Smart mentions and serve over grits.

Best answer: I worked at a few Greek diners and pretty much all of the breakfast meats (souvlaki chicken/lamb/beef, gyro, sausage links/patties) would be way more delicious and honestly should be grilled properly instead of shoved around on a flattop griddle which is what restaurants usually do for various reasons.
Souvlaki meat is cut up and marinated in greek dressing and skewered. Grill til done. Serve with eggs cooked to order, greek potatoes (homefries topped with crumbled feta cheese and doused with greek dressing) and buttered and grilled pita or other bread of choice and you have yourself a lovely souvlaki breakfast.

Best answer: Breakfast pizza! Grill toppings (sweet or savory) beforehand and then grill the whole pizza once assembled.

Best answer: Grilled toast is great! Use a nice, chewy/crusty bread with thick slices.

Steak for steak and eggs.
Vietnamese cơm tấm often has grilled pork, grilled sausages; same with Filipino silogs.
Grilled salmon, grilled shrimp could work.
If you like veggies, you could grill those too and add to an omelet.
Grilled cheese (not the sandwich) could work if it is bread-cheese, queso panella, paneer, or halloumi.
