Recipe: Breakfast Pizza

If a slice of pizza for breakfast sounds divine, then you’ll love this recipe. Piled high with eggs, bacon, ham, and cheese (of course), this dish offers a creative spin on the classic breakfast – or dinner, if you’d like to enjoy these traditional morning flavors later in the evening. If you don’t have ham or bacon, no problem – you could top this pie with sausage, pepperoni, veggies, or even potatoes. This version is sauce-less, but you could add sausage gravy, salsa, or cream cheese as a base before adding the eggs, cheese, etc.

Breakfast Pizza

Ingredients:

• 1 12-inch pre-baked or refrigerated pizza crust (e.g. Pillsbury)
• 6 eggs
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup cubed cooked ham
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 ounces bacon (about 6 slices) 

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a nonstick skillet, cook the bacon over medium-low heat until crisp. Then, remove the bacon from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Drain the bacon grease from the skillet.
3. If using a refrigerated pizza crust, follow the instructions on the label to make sure it is pre-cooked properly – you might have to roll it out onto a baking sheet and bake it for about 5 minutes until lightly golden.
4. Whisk together the milk, eggs, and pepper, and then stir in the bacon and ham. Cook the egg mixture in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are firm but still a bit moist.
5. Spoon the egg mixture onto the crust, and then top everything with the cheese. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and pizza is warm.
6. Enjoy!
