Most of us already know breakfast is the most important meal of the day… This is especially true when it comes to kids. We need to ensure their little bodies receive nourishing foods to help them grow and thrive.
Here are some healthy, quick breakfast ideas the whole family will enjoy.

Mexican Breakfast with grilled cheese.

Ingredients:

Chop 4 cheese slices; combine with eggs and set aside.
12 slices Jalapeño Jack cheese,
4 large eggs,
beaten 4 strips turkey bacon,
chopped 2 green onions,
thinly sliced 8 slices sourdough bread Butter, softened.


Method:

Sauté turkey bacon and green onions in butter until onions are translucent. Add egg and cheese mixture; cook, stirring over medium heat until eggs are set. Remove and keep warm.
Butter all slices of bread on one side. Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, in clean skillet. Top each with one slice of cheese and an equal amount of scrambled eggs. Place one slice cheese over eggs on each sandwich; top with remaining bread, buttered side up. Cook over medium-low heat, turning once carefully, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
