Egg Pizza - It's Not Just Another Breakfast Dish

There’s nothing better to settle my upset stomach in the morning after a night of drinking than a slice of cold, leftover pizza. Unless it’s a cold leftover, half-eaten hamburger that sat in the fridge overnight congealing the grease and transforming the consistency of the meat into something like a soft rock. While the burger has hardened, at least it won’t break your teeth when you bite into it.

Fortunately those days of waking up with a hangover are mostly gone for me. Pretty much, anyway. 

I don’t miss them. The hangovers, that is. But pizza for breakfast is still one of my favourites that I enjoy even without a hangover, whenever we have left over pizza.

But why should I have to wait for leftover pizza? Why not a fresh, hot pizza for breakfast? Well, for one, where can you get pizza delivery that early in the morning?

So, if I’m going to make it myself, why not customize my pizza specifically for breakfast?

With a coffee and a glass of cold orange juice, this recipe makes a perfect full breakfast.

Add some sparkling wine to the orange juice and a splash of Irish Cream to your coffee and you’re all set. Maybe you’ll have some left over for tomorrow morning! Wink! Wink!

TIP: This Egg Pizza recipe isn’t just for breakfast. It makes a good snack for any time throughout the day.
