Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Breakfast pizza in tomato season


I like leftover cold pizza for breakfast as much as any other guy, but around here late summer is when our home grown tomatoes ripen. In New England, tomato season is brief (except for cherry tomatoes).  Almost done. They are sweet.


Here's my favorite way to use our own tomatoes for breakfast: Put one (large) or a couple of thick slices of tomato on some thin white bread. Then slices of cheddar to cover the tomatoes. Put under a hot broiler til the cheese melts a bit and the exposed bread browns. Not necessary, but a small sprinkle of oregano on top if you must.


Perfect breakfast - simple pizza. A shame that the Romans never knew tomatoes.

I'm in if I can use whole wheat instead of white.

Whole wheat ruins it. The bread is just a vehicle. Trust Bird Dog.

I've done that since I was a kid. I add a little mayo, and onion.

Same here. A classic!

Sounds tasty.

I roll out bread dough and cook it in a hot skillet. Add cheese and cooked vegetables when it is cooked- flatbread w cheese and veggies on top. Rather like a pizza, but faster.

A childhood snack was "mock pizza." Catsup and oregano on a saltine cracker.

Same idea but with toasted English muffins. A sprinkle of Italian seasoning on the tomatoes and maybe a different cheese like Brie or grated asagio Be creative.

My favorite Saturday morning breakfast in the Army was cold pizza and warm beer.

French bread, not Wonder bread.

What, no bacon?!

Pikers! Who says you can't have Breakfast Pizza?

Saute some onion and peppers with chorizo until the chorizo starts to set up. Top a ready-to-bake pizza crust* with sliced tomatoes, the saute, 3 or 4 beaten eggs, and grated cheese, and pop under the broiler for 5 to 7 minutes. Heaven.

*Yes, you can make your own crust. The night before.

We Aussies put the tomato sauce (ketchup) and cheese on the palm of our hand and put that directly under the broiler. Fewer carbs and less clean up. Bread is for fancy people.

You can put slices of garden tomatoes, with a little salt and pepper, on unsweetened French toast, too.
