Breakfast Pizza

Adapted from Smitten Kitchen and A Taste of Richmond: Recipes from the Ladies of the Innsbrook Ward

My friend Brittany made this for us once when a few of us went to stay at a cabin near Luray, VA. It was SO scrumptious. So, when my hubby asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day breakfast in bed I thought of this. It's simple to make, but so delicious. Since it is kind of a pain to prepare pizza dough in the morning he just used some frozen dough, thawed, and it was perfect. Serve with some hot sauce or marinara if desired!

Ingredients:

• Favorite recipe of pizza dough (see Recipe Index)
• 6 strips bacon
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup grated Mozzarella
• 6 large eggs
• 1 large bunch of green onions, chopped
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Salt, to taste

Directions:

• Prepare pizza according to recipes directions.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.  Roll out pizza dough and place on pizza pan.  Cook for 10-12 minutes. 
• In the meantime, cook bacon in medium sized pan until crispy.  Cool on a paper-towel lined plate; roughly chop.
• Remove dough from oven and layer on the Mozzarella and Parmesan, bacon and green onions.  Crack the eggs over the top of the pizza and season with salt and pepper. 
• Bake the pizza for another 8-10 minutes.  For the last minute or so turn the broiler onto low to make sure the eggs cooked well on top.  Let cool for 2 minutes, slice and serve.
