Over-Easy Breakfast Pizza


We prepared this in our Gourmet Pizza class - talk about delicious!  This would be so beautiful for an Easter Brunch. 

1 prepared whole wheat pizza crust
3 Tbsp prepared pesto
olive oil spray
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 slices of bacon, cooked till crispy, crumbled
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1-2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
5 eggs, cracked into separate ramekins to keep the yolk whole on top
salt and pepper, additional olive oil spray


Tastes as yummy as it looks!


Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Spread the pesto and minced garlic evenly on the prepared crust.  Spray with a few spritzes of olive oil spray.  Top with bacon crumbles, tomato halves and mushrooms.  Spray a few more spritzes of olive oil.  Bake for 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and the pizza edges are starting to crisp.  Place the eggs and spinach on top of the pizza and season with salt and pepper.  Bake again for 3-5 minutes or until the eggs are set. Serve warm with 1 cup blueberries!
