Ways to add Pizzazz to Breakfast

I just recently found a sheet of paper in my fat recipe file listing ways of adding a bit of extra pizzazz to breakfast. I’ve jotted down some good ones- gleaned from my own growing up years, from others and from books over time.
Here’s a handful of the best of the best . . . .
~ Make toast- spread with peanut butter and sliced bananas (or sliced strawberries)
~ Toast half an English muffin. Spread on cream cheese and top with a thin slice of ham.
~ Make a toasted PBJ sandwich
~ Make that PBJ sandwich with banana bread or raisin bread
~ Make a fried egg sandwich- place a fried egg between 2 pieces of toast- add a slice of cheese- yum!
~ Pizza for breakfast- use English muffin halves and top with sauce and cheese and your choice of toppings
~ Breakfast pizzas- use English muffin halves again but top with scrambled eggs and cheese
~ PBJ quesadilla- add sliced bananas too!
~ Top plain vanilla yogurt with dry cereal (Fruity Pebbles is my kiddos’ fave)
~ Make a yogurt parfait- place some yogurt in bottom of parfait glass, top with some fruit, then some granola and/or chocolate chips, keep layering until glass is full.
Sometimes just adding a shake of cinnamon and sugar to cereal or candy sprinkles to yogurt adds that little extra that makes the kids think you’ve gone out of your way to make breakfast grand!
