Breakfast Pizzas done.
Nothing tastes better than homemade pizza on the grill! I use dough made from sourdough starter, but you can also purchase pizza dough frozen (or partially cooked crust), and make it that way!
Ingredients
2 Meduium or 4 small Pizza Crusts (either homemade or frozen)
Toppings of Choice for Dinner Pizzas
1 TBSP. Olive oil
1 TBSP. herbs (fresh or dried),
1/2 C pizza sauce or freshly sliced plum tomatoes
1 C - 2 C Mozarella cheese (fresh or regular, grated or sliced)
1/2 C Parmesan cheese (grated or shaved)
1 Pkg sliced pepperoni
1/2 - 1 C precooked mushrooms or sausage
1/4 C sliced olives, jalapeno peppers, or anything else that appeals to you.
Toppings of Choice for Breakfast Pizzas
1 TBSP. Olive oil
1 TBSP. herbs (fresh or dried),
1/2 C pizza sauce or freshly sliced plum tomatoes
1 C - 2 C Mozarella cheese (fresh or regular, grated or sliced), or Cheddar
1/2 C Parmesan cheese (grated or shaved)
1 Pkg sliced pepperoni
1/2 - 1 C precooked mushrooms or sausage, bacon or ham (sliced or crumbled)
1/4 C sliced olives, jalapeno peppers, or anything else that appeals to you.
2-8 fresh cracked eggs (on a plate for easy delivery to pizza) or partially scrambled eggs
Directions
We use a gas grill, but charcoal works well too (just push all the charcoal to one side so it's not directly under the pizzas once the toppings go on.
- Preheat the grill to as hot as it will go!
- Pat and roll your pizza dough to an artistic shape. (OK use frozen pizza dough if you must)
- Slap the dough on the grill and grill for one or 2 minutes per side. There are no rules. The thickness of the dough and the heat of the grill determine how long. You will just know.
- Once the dough has nice grill marks on both sides, it's ready for toppings. Take the pizza off the grill, close the lid, and shut off ONE side.
- Brush the pizza's with olive oil, and top as desired.
- Transfer them onto the side of the grill that is off, cover and let bake until the cheese is melty and they are done.
- For Breakfast pizza, sometimes you have to tuck the cheese around the jiggly eggs to prevent them from sliding off.
- Cut and eat!
