Get a light and healthy start to your day by munching on this Whole Grain Pizza Crust topped with sausage, eggs, mozzarella and parmesan cheese, shallots, and Baby Bella mushrooms. It’s just the right amount of yum to get your day to a beautiful start.
Fall is definitely here.
Need a little confirmation? Just start browsing online and you will see soup here, pasta there, pumpkin everywhere! Yes it is fall and guess what…I’m loooving it! Yes, partly because I raised the roof with this breakfast pizza! Gosh you guys, I pulled it out of the oven the other day and was like “meh, I don’t know if this will make it to the blog.” BUT THEN I took a bite and was like “YEEEAA!!!” And here I am publishing another recipe straight from the oven at the Davidson household.
Love-ing life right now.
Homemade pizza crust be like Mmm Mmm good. And on top of that it is whole grain! Mmm K, so how does something healthy taste soo good? It’s all about balance. Mix of sausage for flavor with mushrooms and cheese for great texture, but the eggs are where it’s (it as in good food) at.
One more thing, I thought I would toss in some scallions and fresh chives for ya know some color and to make it look good but I wouldn’t want the pizza without them. They added some nice crunch and a ton of extra flavor.
I can totally see the hubs and I cozying up on Christmas morning watching the kids tear open their presents while enjoying a piece of this delicious pizza. You know how certain songs bring you back to specific moments in your life that just make you smile, or laugh, heck even cry. Well I am finding that food is starting to do that as well. The hamburger soup is something that brings me back to my childhood when all of us kids are sitting around the table together in the bitter cold winter months and just sipping on this delicious soup and then we would all race back to get seconds. Ahh, good ‘ol memories.
