Breakfast Pizza

There is only so much eggs and bacon that your kids will eat. Let’s be honest, they get bored with meals served over and over again.
I have found that if you change how the meals are presented, the kids are more accepting to the foods. So, here’s a way to combine most kids favorite food – pizza with breakfast. I like to make my pizza crust and cook the bacon or sausage in advance to cut down on prep time.

Try this out, I bet your kids will love it!
