Eggs Florentine Breakfast Pizza

Do you want to know my secret to pristine relaxation in the midst of being a mom to three small boys?  I wake-up at 5:00 in the morning.  And don’t call me crazy. TWO hours of quiet every morning, drinking coffee in silence, getting some work done in peace, eating breakfast alone without interruption, enjoying a beautiful, peaceful summer morning.  Have I convinced you yet?  It is a million times worth it!  After waking up early in the morning and having this quiet time to myself, I always have a better day.

I made this eggs florentine breakfast pizza at 6:00 in the morning, does it look more peaceful to you than other things I make?  It does to me. 🙂

This eggs florentine breakfast pizza is pretty much everything. Crispy thin pizza crust, gooey feta cheese creamed spinach and of course the egg must be runny.  I love using organic; pasture-raised eggs because of the delicious taste and increased nutrition — the yolks are deeper yellow which means they have a higher Omega 3, and they are so very pretty.

Eggs are a staple in my family’s diet.  We eat several dozen eggs every week.  Not only are they healthy, filling and versatile, but I turn to eggs so often because it is an animal protein that I feel is better for the environment. At Handsome Brook Farm, they believe that the happier and healthier the hen, the tastier the egg. The chickens and hens are pasture-raised where they have full freedom to, well, be a chicken. Handsome Brook Farm hens get at least 108 square feet per bird on rotated pastures and are organically-fed, which gives the eggs a beautiful golden-orange yolk and an unmistakable flavor. Handsome Brook Farm eggs are more delicious and nutritious for us and more humane for the hens.

Two reasons why I tend to make eggs a lot is because they are so fast to prepare, and there are so many ways to prepare them!  I can make eggs for my family several times a week, and the dish I make is usually different each time.  I made myself this spinach florentine breakfast pizza because I prefer breakfast with runny eggs and with lots of greens included.   I was pleasantly surprised though when my kids also gobbled this up when they finally came downstairs for breakfast.
