Weekday breakfasts can be stressful, yet those are some of the most important meals of the week. Kids usually want sugary cereal, donuts, or toaster pastry, making them hyperactive until they come down from the sugar high and crash, getting lethargic, cranky, and not functioning optimally.

But it’s a win-win situation for everyone if you can give the kids something they enjoy and still offer quality, nutritious food.

Breakfast Margherita Pizza

This recipe works because it’s easy, fast, and really delicious. Ready-to-use crusts, jarred sauce, and pre-grated cheeses cut the prep time to fifteen minutes. You can start serving the kids breakfast in less than half an hour. Plus, this recipe is customizable to your family’s tastes.

The eggs on the pizza still have the soft, runny yolks that, when sliced, mix in with the salty cheese. If your kids aren’t fans of ‘runny eggs,’ scramble them lightly in the microwave before adding the eggs to the pizza.

Family of carnivores? Crumble cooked bacon or sausage over the top before baking. Hide sauteed vegetables beneath the cheese. Prep toppings the night before and let the kids add what they like on top of their pizza. Kids are more likely to eat something that they ‘made.’

Ingredients Needed

• Premade pizza crust – original, thin crust, or even whole wheat. Any one of them will work.
• Roma tomatoes – also called plum tomatoes. Look for firm, deep red tomatoes that are free of soft spots.
• Kosher salt
• Olive oil
• Pizza sauce – jarred or homemade. Ensure it isn’t too watery, or your crust will get soggy.
• Low-moisture mozzarella cheese – pre-shredded cheese is great for busy mornings. The low moisture cheese ensures a crispy crust.
• Parmesan cheese
• Sharp cheddar cheese
• Extra large eggs – use very fresh eggs for this recipe.
• Cherry tomatoes
• Fresh basil

Steps To Make This Recipe

1. Preheat the oven.
2. Slice the Roma tomatoes, sprinkle with salt, and set aside. This will pull some of the excess water from the tomatoes.
3. Place the crust on a pizza pan.
4. Rub oil around the edge of the crust.
5. Spread sauce over the crust.
6. Top with sliced tomatoes.
7. Sprinkle half of the basil over the tomato slices.
8. Layer on the cheese.
9. Make indentations in the pizza and crack an egg in each one. Making a divot will keep the egg from running all over the pizza.
10. Arrange the cherry tomato halves and the remaining basil leaves.
11. Bake until golden, the eggs are set, and the cheese has melted.
12. Serve warm.
