Morphology
The meaning 'a food customarily eaten for breakfast' is directly and transparently derived from the constituents 'breakfast' (the morning meal) and 'food' (substance eaten). This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase and a common cross-linguistic collocation, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Breakfast food comes from the words break and fast, meaning to stop the night's time without food. So, breakfast food is the food you eat to 'break the fast', or simply 'food eaten in the morning'.
