I think it's a native new englander local stereotype about yankees eating pie for breakfast; implying that they eat too much.
Apple pie with (cheddar) cheese apparently was a New England staple in the 17th century, but I don’t know if anyone had it for breakfast.
A very old New Englander once to my girlfriend & me that we went together “like pie with cheese.” We had idea what to make of it.
Seriously. What kind of pie-with-cheese are we talking here? ...cheesecake? Or pizza pie? Quiche? Or something like banana-havarti? Pineapple-brie? I'm vegan and curious.
Fruit pie. Mostly apple. It's as American as... I dunno, I'm bad at analogy.
