When we were growing up, my dad would usually whip up some pancakes or waffles for breakfast – topped with bananas, chocolate chips, peanut butter – whatever he could think of to get us to like it. Even after all that work, most of the sisters would end up eating cold cereal. My favorite way to start the day was with a big bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch!
My taste buds have finally stared to mature at the ripe ol’ age of 29 and I have expanded my breakfast menu choices. This pizza is not only perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch (hint hint!), but makes a great dinner too! Let the kids get involved by picking their own pizza toppings and help you put them on the pizza.
This breakfast pizza is so quick and easy to make from scratch, thanks to this 4-ingredient pizza dough made with any flour of your choice, Greek yogurt, baking powder and salt! No yeast, no fancy mixer!
A healthy spin on a pizza, loaded with protein and tastes delicious!
WHAT IS BREAKFAST PIZZA?
It’s basically a pizza topped with everything you would like on your breakfast sandwich – the topping combinations are endless! I used bacon, tomatoes and mozzarella, but it’s also great with ham, sausage, or make it meatless and just add more veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, etc. Feel free to play around with different cheese combinations. The egg yolks are pretty firm, if you want them runny I suggest baking the crust a few minutes ahead before adding the egg. Or if you prefer scrambled eggs, cook them on the stove first before adding to the dough.
