I know it’s early.
You may not have your breakfast planned yet. You may not even have your day planned yet. But it’s Friday!
Maybe you’re reading this in bed or at work or on the way to work.
Maybe your breakfast was a cup of coffee on the way out the door and a crumbled granola bar you pulled out of your bag. I know how it is. Been there, done that, did that the other day.
Most days of the week, I eat breakfast in the car.
Nick drives, so it’s not dangerous for me to sit in the passenger seat, chowing down on oatmeal, and singing Adele at the top of my lungs.
But when I have time to make breakfasts on the weekends, I try to make fun things that I don’t have the time for during the week.
You guys know how I feel about breakfast. It’s the best, every time.
Breakfast should always be tasty, fun, and something new – at least on weekends.
Do you make fun breakfasts at least once a week? If you don’t, consider yourself challenged.
Plan one fun breakfast a week and just do it.
No time during the week? Make a batch of waffles on the weekend and reheat them while you’re getting ready in the morning. Prep some veggies so you can whip up an omelet super fast. Mix up some biscuit dough, cut them out and freeze them to pop in the oven for whenever you want one or three: breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack time.
If you’ve got some butter laying around and don’t have cookies planned for this weekend, I’ve got your breakfast planned.
Soft, silky butter mixed with tomatoes and fresh herbs, slathered on toasted bread, topped with eggs.
Looks fancy, but it isn’t.
This took 5 minutes to put together….and less than 5 minutes to eat.
Happy Friday to you!
And to me.
I’ve got a fridge full of butter, waiting for the weekend.
And PS: this bread recipe is coming soon.
Pizza Butter
Makes: 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened (I used the new Kerrygold Softer Irish Butter)
- 2 slow roasted roma tomatoes, chopped (sun dried tomatoes in oil would be a great choice, too)
- 1 Tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 Tbsp fresh basil. chopped
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
Directions:
- Put softened butter into a bowl.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes and herbs.
- Serve on toasted bread, crackers, breadsticks, or with eggs.
PS: This is another recipe entry into the Kerrygold contest using the new softer, more spreadable butters. The Irish Dairy Board sent me the butters to use to create my entries, but all opinions and recipes are my own.

Fun breakfasts are the best! They have a way of making the rest of the day so much better.
Pizza for breakfast is one of the funnest of them all. Love the sound of this butter!
agreed. good breakfasts set the whole day off on a good start.
Thank you for reminding me that I bought fresh local butter yesterday that I am DYING to try. I know what I’m having for breakfast!
This looks amazing!
I had the greatest butter last weekend,
it had dried fruit in it, and you know what?
I thought of you!

This has just ripped my heart apart and massaged it.
butter massage is the best way to go :)
This…is amazing. I have been eagerly awaiting this post since you Twitter-teased us about it yesterday! And now I want a bagel. Slathered in this. Or just the butter to eat with a spoon. Bad? …potentially. Delicious. Obvs.

PIZZA BUTTER? Seriously? Girl, you are killing it with all these recipes you’re posting!
Now that’s the way butter should be!
Pizza butter – what a fabulous idea! Don’t get me wrong, I love sweet treats – but I really enjoy savory meals for breakfast. My husband is in charge of breakfast on the weekends…maybe I’ll nonchalantly email him a link to this recipe. :)
Well, I’m quite sure you already know what I’M going to say.
ahem…..breakfast queen.
why don’t we live closer? we could have the best food parties. plus, i want to play with your little cutie of a daughter :)
I know! Or you could cook and I could just eat. That would work for me as well. E likes to eat too :)

Also, is there CHEESE in that bread? Can’t wait for the recipe!

Seriously?? I didn’t think it was possible to make butter better…pizza butter!!! This looks delicious, and would make breakfast for dinner night soooo much better :)
it’s hard to make butter better…but this is definitely one way to do it :) i’m happy i have leftovers!
When Kerrygold asked me to participate in this event, I was happy to oblige; I make no bones about loving their butter. What I had not thought to expect were the wealth of great ideas I’m seeing crop up each day and yours is certainly one of them. Can I just say yum?
I agree – all the recipe entries look so great!
woah, this is SUCH a great idea :) need to pick me up some more butter!!!
thanks Shannon!
This sounds amazing! What great flavors – I’ve never made flavored butter but it really does sound fantastic! :)
