One of the easiest shortcuts for me and my family is to pop by our favorite pizza place and for 3 bucks grab some perfectly made fresh pizza dough. I use this for so many things. Buying fresh pizza dough is a timesaver for me, and guess what? No mess! This breakfast pizza will fuel you and your family up for the day ahead.
Notes: Feel free to customize as you wish with various veggies. You can add an extra egg as well. The yolk is what sends this pizza over-the top! You could crack your eggs right on to the pizza to cook, however the asparagus makes that a little difficult and the yolks have a way of drying out. Pan frying your eggs is best.
Kitchen Tip: One of my very favorite kitchen “secrets” is this. I ask the Amish at my farmers market to cut a 6 to 7 inch thick chunk of bacon right off the slab before they slice it. At first they looked at me funny. Now they are used to me and I’ll bet they do this themselves now. This is what I use for so very many things. I never buy pancetta, I use this instead. I cut what I need to top a potato, add to a pizza, mac-and- cheese, salads or appetizers and in minutes I have perfectly cooked bacon bits. Five minutes with the tiniest bit of grapeseed oil is all it takes to fry it up. It keeps well in the fridge once you cook it for a few days as well, just reheat and use.
Ingredients
- 1 fresh pizza dough, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive or grapeseed oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 16 thin asparagus, trimmed
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1 cup cooked slab bacon or pancetta
- 2 eggs
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Halve your pizza dough and shape into rustic pizza's. Thick or thin, however you like it and place them on your pizza tray/stone or baking sheet. Lightly brush the dough with olive or grapeseed oil and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle on the cheese. Toss your asparagus with a small bit of oil just to get them coated, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place them on each pie. Sprinkle on the red onion over the top and place in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until your pies are done to your liking.
- Meanwhile cook your eggs sunny-side up and once the pies come out of the oven, sprinkle on the bacon/pancetta and top each with an egg. Cut into pieces with a pizza cutter and serve immediately.
