Breakfast pizza takes the crispy, cheesy deliciousness that is pizza and fortifies it with the healthful benefits of eggs (read more about the egg's nutritional info), cheese, and much more! Below is the basic recipe but feel free to add any additional toppings (there's also a suggested list of toppings but don't let that limit you!)
Breakfast Pizza
3 eggs, lightly scrambled
2 English muffins, sliced in half
2 slices of thin-sliced ham, cut in half
1 cup shredded cheese, separated into 1/4 cups
1 green onion, finely chopped
1.) Preheat oven to 375°
2.)In a skillet, lightly scramble the three eggs. This means they will be formed/cooked, but still have a glossy look.
3.) Slice English muffins in half, making 4 halves
4.) Top each muffin half with some egg, a slice of ham, green onion and grated cheese
5.) Wrap a cookie sheet with tin foil (this helps avoid a melted cheese mess on your bakeware) and place breakfast pizzas onto sheet.
6.) Place pizzas in preheated oven and bake 7-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and ham looks crispy.
7.) Allow to cool slightly before serving
This is a fun recipe for the kids because they can build their very own pizzas! Try some pizza sauce or other sauces (we like using green chile enchilada sauce on ours!) for a tasty twist. Other great toppings can include (but DEFINITELY aren't limited to!):
-Olives
-Bacon crumbles
-Sausage crumbles
-Mushrooms
-Red or white onion
-Tofu
-Spicy peppers
-Spinach
-Fresh tomatoes
-Etc., etc., etc....
Have fun, get your Littles involved, experiment and enjoy!
Wow that looks pretty good! Unfortunately I'm incredibly lazy (especially in the mornings), but perhaps I can convince someone else in the family to make a few.

Wow, and here I was just settling on cold cereal and cheesy infomercials for breakfast. This recipe might have to have a test run this weekend...I'm thinking prosciutto, pepper-jack cheese, and diced green chile. Thanks for the great breakfast idea!

My god, this is one of the most clever things I have ever seen. When I do wake up early enough to try it out, I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, your blog is a fun read. I am never sure about cooking blogs, but yours works. Have you considered adding pictures of each step in the cooking process. It would help out the more cooking-challenged readers, and images always break up swathes of text nicely.
One other thing, I had hard time spotting the ingredient list. Maybe you could bold it in the future? And by the way, check out this cooking blog. I think your tone is different from his, but he's got one of the most popular cooking blogs on the internet for a reason.

You always make each recipe seem really fun...and I love getting the story behind it. I like the idea of the pix at each step, or maybe just at any key steps, ...and then that makes me think...someday...a video!
ReplyDeleteThis seems so simple yet so genius because none of us had thought of it before! This recipe, along with all your others, sounds so delicious! I enjoy reading your blog each week to find out what you will post next!
