Not breaking oven in readiness for breakfast? (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on toast

'in readiness for breakfast?' is the definition.
(breakfast might be served on toast)

'not breaking oven' is the wordplay.
'breaking' indicates anagramming the letters.
'oven' becomes 'oast' (type of kiln).
'not' is an anagram of 'ont'.
'ont'+'oast'='ON TOAST'

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

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
