The Muppet show is a family favorite of ours and has been since I was young and watched “Muppet Babies”. You watched that right?? “Muppet Babies, they’ll make your dreams come true…”
The Muppet show is starting again though I have heard it is a little racier this time. It is more about the background life of The Muppets with an office feel. If you are conservative like me, I would recommend watching it without kids before you watch it with your kids, so you can be sure it is appropriate for them.
I thought it would be fun to have a Muppet family Saturday morning and watch some old episodes of The Muppet Show with my kids! This was a perfect time to have some fun with breakfast to go with it!
The Muppet Show Inspired Kermit Breakfast Quesadilla

Instructions:
– Place one egg into a pot of water and bring to a boil.
– Once the water is boiling, cook for 12 minutes
– Peel your boiled egg and slice in half lengthwise. These will become your frog eyes.

– Using the same cookie cutter and knife cut three sections of bacon to form Kermit’s triangular mouth.
– Crumble the remaining bacon.
– Scramble your second egg with the crumbled bacon and cheese.
