Alexander loves pizza. He could eat it all day long.
But try to get him to eat eggs and it’s impossible. So I made him an open-faced Omlette with his favorite pizza toppings and called it “breakfast pizza”. Not to mention I had him use his favorite kitchen tool at Grandma’s, the hand held egg beaters.
Success he ate it.
We made this last weekend at Grandma’s and it’s perfect for a weekend brunch. We also served it with our Cinnamon Brown Sugar Banana Bread. (See May 19, 2016 Recipe)
Enjoy!
Avec Amour, Victoria and Alexander
Mediterranean Breakfast Pizza aka Open-Faced Omelette
Yield 4 – 5 Servings
5 Eggs, extra large
1 Tablespoon Water
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tomato, medium
1/4 Cup Black Olives, sliced
2 Tablespoons Capers, nonpareil
1/3 Cup Feta Cheese, crumbled
2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
1. Whisk eggs, water and salt until frothy,
heat a 12″ skillet on high heat until hot, sprinkle a little water on it and the water should sizzle, dance around and evaporate, add olive oil and then pour in the eggs. Rotate pan so the eggs evenly cover the bottom.
2. Sprinkle an even layer of tomatoes over eggs,
then olives,
capers and feta.
Turn heat down to low and cook for 4 – 5 minutes, sprinkle on parsley
and cook for another minute. Cut into quarters for 4 servings or wedges for 5 servings.
Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top and even better! I also have this awesome basil salt by Jane’s Krazy Mixed-up Seasonings that goes great as well.

Sprinkle some grated parmesan on top and its even better!
If you finish it off in the oven you can call it a frittata which is even lower to a pizza …
