This past weekend we went for one last little getaway to Grandma’s house. We thought it would be a fun little trip for everyone before this school year gets really busy. Luckily, our trip also coincided with the Perseid meteor shower, which happened to also be on a new moon this year. She lives out in the country, where there’s no light pollution, so we thought it would be the perfect setting.
I’d like to tell you we witnessed the most perfect meteor shower ever, but for some reason we didn’t see one meteor. It was odd. We all took turns standing outside in the pitch dark staring up at the night sky, and we saw nothing! It was a huge disappointment, but at least we got to eat some of Grandma’s delicious homemade cookies!
After a long weekend, Monday mornings are a real bummer. This past Monday was no different. We all dragged ourselves out of bed, depressed the weekend had ended so quickly and so incredibly tired. Mornings like that don’t make my family very excited for breakfast. Everyone just wants to run out of the house and skip the most important meal of the day.
So to get everyone excited and get them to eat breakfast on those busy Monday mornings, I make one of their favorite breakfast treats. And since everyone loves a good pizza, who would say no to a breakfast pizza? These little breakfast pizzas are so simple to make, look cute and are full of the flavors your family will love.
To start these, I scramble some eggs and just spoon them on Thomas English Muffins. I just used the plain muffins here, but you can use whatever flavor you like. Whole wheat, multi-grain, double protein or the high fiber variety would work well with these breakfast pizzas.
Then I top with shredded cheese and bacon bits. You can use whatever type of cheese you like. You could also substitute sausage crumbles for the bacon bits.
After baking these in the oven for about 10 minutes, they’re ready to go. I garnished these with a few green onions before serving, but those are definitely optional.
Yield: Serves 4
Heat oven to 450°. Place split English muffins on a cookie sheet. Spoon eggs on top of muffins evenly. Then top with shredded cheese and bacon.
Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove from oven and garnish with green onions and basil and before serving.
