When I posted our breakfast menu on the fridge this week I was inundated with questions and comments from my daughters such as, “We’re having pizza for breakfast? Cool!” or “Are we really having pizza for breakfast? Really? Really? Please!”

Of course, it’s not the pepperoni-with-cheese pizza they envision, but yes, we’re serving up pizza for breakfast this week and they loved it. Here’s how I got them excited to eat eggs and whole wheat pitas without complaining. Just like in professional kitchens, the key to success is that it’s all about the presentation.

1 whole wheat pita

1 fried egg (cooked in Pam to make it healthier)

1 piece of bacon (or sausage) crumbled

¼ cup cheese

Ketchup (or other condiment of choice)

Directions: Make one fried egg and a piece of bacon. Warm the pita in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Place a pita on a serving plate, top with ketchup, pile on the egg (which should be about the same size or slightly smaller than the pita) and then sprinkle with cheese and bacon. Enjoy!

Adult Variation: I am not a ketchup-on-my-eggs kind of gal so I recommend using Tapatio Sauce with sour cream, salsa, or ranch dressing as your pizza sauce. You can also add spinach leaves and tomatoes if you want to boost the fiber and nutritional content for you and/or the kids. You can also use ham instead of bacon.
