Ham, Egg & Asparagus Breakfast Pizza Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pizza crust or dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup cooked ham, diced
- 1/2 cup fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using pre-made dough, follow the package instructions for pre-baking if needed.
- Prepare Crust:
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your pizza pan or baking sheet. Transfer the dough to the pan and brush with olive oil.
- Add Cheese:
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza crust. Add the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Prepare Asparagus:
- In a small bowl, toss the asparagus pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly over the cheese.
- Add Ham:
- Scatter the diced ham over the asparagus.
- Bake Pizza:
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the crust turns golden, and the cheese has fully melted.
- Add Eggs:
- Remove the pizza from the oven. Carefully crack the eggs over the pizza, spacing them out as desired.
- Return to Oven:
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. For firmer yolks, bake for a few extra minutes.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Slice and serve warm.
Tips:
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- Experiment with different cheeses or add extra veggies to suit your taste.
Enjoy your savory Ham, Egg & Asparagus Breakfast Pizza for a delicious and satisfying start to your day!
