10 Healthy School-Day Breakfasts To Make For Your Kids In 10 Minutes Or Less

These quick breakfast recipes are here to help calm your mornings and get the kiddos fed, out the door, on the bus, and off to school. These recipes don't rely on premade convenience foods (like Pop-Tarts) or require you to cook up and freeze a triple batch of waffles the night before (although that's a great idea, too). Instead, these recipes are simple suggestions for those frenzied mornings when time — and maybe the kids — are not on your side.

Conquer the morning with these easy recipes you can make in 10 minutes or less — oh, and did I mention these are healthy and kid-friendly?

This preparation is as nutritious as it is fun to eat. Use a glass to cut out the center of a slice of bread, and toast it briefly in a pan with melted butter before cracking an egg right into the middle. In all, this recipe should take about five to seven minutes from start to finish. Check it out here.

If this is still too involved, you can simply fry an egg and place it atop a piece of toast separately. For a great way to satisfy (read: trick) pickier eaters into eating fried eggs, here's a tip: Before serving, break up the egg, chopping up whites and yolk together, and spread it on top of the piece of toast. Then cut the slice of toast into bite-sized squares.

It's not that scrambled eggs aren't already a quick meal, but this recipe is faster and easier — plus there is no scraping off stubborn bits of cooked egg from the pan, so clean-up is a breeze. Crack an egg into a coffee mug, mix it up, and nuke it. Enjoy straight from the mug; it's really that simple.

This microwave burrito-making technique is pretty cool: First you place the flour tortilla in a bowl, pressing to contour it to the sides. Then, place a blended egg in the center (or beat the egg in the tortilla, just be careful not to tear it), and microwave the eggs with a little cheese until cooked. Roll it all up and serve.
