It's an old, OLD, OOOOOOLLLLLLLLDDDDDDD shoujo manga cliche that predates Evangelion by decades.
In fact, the reason why it was done in Eva was a parody of such cliche.
Whether or not it was a real cliche is unknown, but the concept of it being a cliche has been in the field since... as far as I can remember.
In fact, many manga researchers claim the cliche didn't actually start from an actual scene, and the concept of it being a cliche came first.
Nonetheless, many manga/anime have used it as a parody of such cliche (Evangelion being one example) regardless of it possibly being a fabricated one.
Further research show that these elements often existed independently.
Girl running as she's late to school, then bumping into the male lead.
Girl running as she's late to school, with bread in her mouth.
These elements were found in shoujo manga as far back as the 1960s.
It's quite possible the cliche was created as a combination of these elements, and became regarded as such in the later years.
One researcher has noted he remembers it being regarded as a common cliche already by the 1970s.
