'item for breakfast' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'ending in hot oven' is the wordplay.
'ending in' suggests the final letters.
'oven' becomes 'oast' (type of kiln).
The last letter of 'hot' is 't'.
't'+'oast'='TOAST'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toast that I've seen before include "Warm, it may be eaten" , "Brown in front of a fire" , "Heat bread" , "Brown by radiant heat" , "Browned bread; health" .)
