    See that egg?

    I die.

    Seriously, I was so ridiculously excited when I made this. Sometimes I can get all caught up in finding the newest, latest and greatest take on food, only to make meal prep more time consuming and complicated than it needs to be. This Ham and Egg Breakfast Pizza is just another reminder that good food doesn't have to be fussy and simple ingredients can truly make magic together.

    Besides, who can argue with pizza for breakfast?

    A few tips for making this killer pizza:

    1) Place a pizza stone or overturned sheet pan in the oven while it is preheating. This helps ensure the pizza cooks evenly, especially important with that egg on top. Besides, who likes soggy crust?

    2) Use the best ricotta you can find. This one was a real eye opener for me. I admit, I’m not well-versed in ricotta cheese, often settling for whatever is in the dairy section. But since the ricotta was one of the few starring ingredients here, I wandered over to the imported cheese section at my grocery store and picked up some Calabro Whole Milk Ricotta. Holy smokes, I could eat this stuff with a spoon! Smooth (not grainy) with a faint sweetness to it. You may not be able to get Calabro where you live, but seek out something similar. Sooo worth the extra few minutes of shopping.

    3) Crack your egg on the pizza AFTER you put it in the oven. This is simply to avoid the cleanup that will inevitably occur when you try to transfer a raw cracked egg from one flat surface to another. Unless you have incredibly balanced hands, then by all means crack the egg before you put the pizza in the oven. (And start charging admission for your performance, because that’s pretty awesome.)

    I know some of you might be squeamish about runny eggs, so I offered a range of cooking times in the recipe below. Choose what works for you.

    Now go forth and impress the heck out of your family and friends. Because pizza. For Breakfast.

    Enough said.

      I am totally with you on the joys of pizza for breakfast. And having eaten pizza with egg for dinner once, I can attest that the combination is fabulous. I'm imagining this breakfast and wishing the weekend would come faster so I can try it out.

      I just fainted. Quick! I need smelling salts! Actually, I would rather have this breakfast pizza. The overturned baking sheet in the oven is a great tip. My baking stones were recently broken and I needed a fix till they arrive!
