Savory Breakfast Pizza

Ingredients

Pancakes:

Use your favorite Pancake mix, whole wheat, buttermilk etc.

Marinara sauce:

• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature

Scrambled eggs:

• 5 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon sour cream
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter, for skillet
• 7 slices bacon, cooked and chopped

Assembly:

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
• Butter
• Maple syrup (not necessary- I prefer without!)

Directions

Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat while you prepare the pancake batter.

Add the oil/butter to the hot griddle and spread evenly to coat the bottom of the pan. Ladle about 1/3 cup of batter to the pan and cook the pancake for about 2 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook until brown on the other side, roughly 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer pancake to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter and set pancakes aside in a warm oven for assembly.

For the sauce:

In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes and cream cheese. Set aside until assembly.

For scrambled eggs:

Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk in sour cream; season with salt and pepper. Add butter to the hot skillet and allow to melt.

Add the eggs and reduce heat to medium-low. Scramble until cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cooked bacon and set aside for assembly.

For assembly:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the pancakes on a sheet pan. Spread marinara sauce on each pancake and top with scrambled eggs and bacon.

Sprinkle with basil and mozzarella cheese and place in the oven for 3 minutes or until cheese melts.

Serve with a side of your favorite breakfast potatoes!
