Breakfast Pizza, Italian Style

Toppings go first

The finished pizza

Ingredients*
1 large Boboli (or other pre-made) pizza crust
3 eggs, beaten
1/2-1 C (or so) Italian blend shredded cheese (just make sure there’s Mozzarella in it)
Salt and Pepper
Sun dried tomatoes in olive oil
red onion, thinly sliced**
fresh basil, chopped into small pieces (I used scissors and snipped it instead)

Directions
Arrange the toppings on the crust however you like. Toppings first? Yes! Trust me, it works better that way. Beat eggs and add salt (if desired since the cheese is salty) and pepper. Spread cheese liberally over the toppings on the pizza crust. Pour egg mixture evenly over the cheese. Place pizza on a baking sheet because spills are likely. Don’t use foil like I did or you’ll be peeling little pieces off the bottom of the crust. Bake in a 400° oven for 12-15 minutes or until the center is set (doesn’t jiggle).

* I don’t specify the amount/quantity of toppings, so just used your best judgment. :)

** I don’t really like crunchy stuff on my pizza, so I put the red onions in a zipper bag and nuked them (in the microwave) for about 30 seconds to soften them up.
