Breakfast Pizza: Greens, Eggs & Ham Traditional & Paleo; 2 in 1 The Switchback Recipe Series


Best

Paleo is the ultimate “go to” way of eating these days. So, I’ve decided to convert as many of my recipes into Paleo versions as possible. However, I will also add the traditional recipes as well for the “non-Paleo crowd. 2 in 1!

My promise to you: These Paleo recipes will not be slight of flavors, tastes or textures. Well, maybe a few texture differences here or there, but not by much. Yes, the ingredients may be somewhat different for the bases; like this breakfast pizza, but the flavor and appearance will mostly be the same. I’m enjoying this “Switchback” quite a bit and getting healthier by proxy in the interim 🙂

Traditional & Paleo:

While the crust is baking, fry bacon; reserving the bacon drippings in the pan, set bacon aside to cool and crumble into pieces. Slightly wilt the spinach in the leftover bacon drippings, salt & pepper to taste.

Add toppings to the baked crust. Start with bacon, tomato, spinach, and scallions. Carefully crack eggs onto the crust. Sprinkle with parsley, additional Italian seasoning, salt & pepper to taste. Bake for 15 minutes or more, just until the egg whites have set. Slice and serve warm.

    Are you saying we can have any type of pizza – a curry and rice one, a sugar puffs one, a pate foie gras one etc. etc. ?
    And are you sure the Pizza Police will allow this dangerous aberration!

    1. Hi Bill!

      Yes of course! I hear the Pizza Police are lacks these days so the construction of pies are carte blanche! Plus, as someone dear used to tell me “we are the big people and can do whatever we please.” Cheers!
