First there was pizza. Then there was breakfast pizza.
Sunny-side-up eggs, hot peppers and melty mozarella cheese come together for for a simple yet epic twist on pizza you're going to love.
What better way to start your day than with three cute little sunny-side up eggs staring up at you. Split with a friend on the back porch with a margarita (what?) and all your breakfast dreams come true.
This dish is inspired by a dish served at one of my favorite meet-up spots, The Breakfast place in Erie, PA. They have a fluffy, crispy, buttery sandwich on the menu appropriately named the "Must Try." How could you not?
There's a simple goodness in hot peppers and eggs in the morning. I haven't stopped ordering the Must Try.
So today I'm sharing with you my pizza version of the lovely "Must Try" sandwich. This starts with ready-made pizza crust. Or if you prefer, you can make your own crust.
See, I just had visions of me tossing crust dough into the air like they do at pizza shops an then having my dough drop on my kid-mopped floors or get stuck to my dusty kitchen light. That would not be good, I thought. And so I had my excuse to be lazy.
So you do what you need to do in the crust department but the toppings are going to make everything come together and be oh-so-tasty.
Side note: Margaritas are perfectly acceptable for "brunch," so if you feel the need to call this a brunch pizza in order to justify pairing this with a Margarita as I've done in my daydreaming, you go ahead and do that.
Grab a friend and enjoy!
