Breakfast Pizza

This recipe is Tessa's. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical. Cracking an egg into a pizza crust on a convex pizza stone didn't seem like the most practical idea. But it turned out alright, and was delicious.

I used Yukon Gold potatoes because Tessa and I love potatoes, and they are one of the most nutritious varieties, along with the Peruvian Purple. I also went whole wheat on the crust, and always use free-range eggs. They always seem to have far superior yolk color.

Next time, I'm going to add in some spinach under the potatoes to amp up the health factor and break up the color monotony, but we didn't have any on hand yesterday. I might also add some fresh goat cheese after baking instead of using cheddar.

1 12-inch whole wheat pizza crust, room temp (they sell them at Whole Foods)
3 large free-range, organic eggs
3-4 small Yukon Gold potatoes
3/4 cup cheddar cheese (enough to cover the top of the pizza)
1/8 tsp garlic powder
sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper
3/4 cup baby spinach (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Place pizza crust on cookie sheet or pizza stone. If adding spinach, spread an even layer across the pizza crust.
3. Thinly slice the potatoes (skin on for more nutrients) and lay a single layer, slightly overlapping, covering the surface of the pizza.
4. Scramble the eggs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then carefully pour the egg mixture over the top of the potatoes. (Resist the urge to add a fourth egg. It will expand as it cooks.)
5. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese across the top.
6. Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese begins to brown and visible egg is cooked.

Slice and enjoy. Serves two very hungry people.

It's too early... but it smells like deliciousness.
