Breakfast might be so vulnerable! (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on toast

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'so vulnerable' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'breakfast' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'breakfast' could be 'toast' (toast is often eaten as breakfast) and 'toast' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'on' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'might be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for on toast that I've seen is " See 3".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
