Puff Pastry Breakfast Pizza
Lately our Sunday mornings have been slow and lazy, and I love it. We wake up, have some coffee, take Lulu to the dog park, and then I do my usual cooking. With the weather warming up it definitely makes me want to get out for a bit before spending the day creating recipes! It’s also inspiring some fresh spring flavors, and I think this brunch dish is the perfect dish to serve at your next get together.
I cannot stress enough how much you need this breakfast pizza in your life. I mean who doesn’t love breakfast… and who doesn’t love pizza?! Might as well combine the two. To really take it to the next level though you’ve gotta use a puff pastry. The crispy flakiness of it makes it feel a little more breakfast-y. Its’ very croissant like. You can definitely get creative with these toppings, but I must say I think these ingredients are perfect together.
Puff pastry - Puff pastries are so versatile and taste delicious. They are flakey, buttery, and have the perfect crunch.
Gruyere cheese - Gruyere cheese is one of my favorites. Buy a block and shave it fresh, trust me. The perfect cheese for this breakfast pizza.
Eggs - Well, you can’t have a breakfast pizza without eggs. Throw a few on there!
Asparagus - For some reason I love asparagus baked with breakfast recipes. It also feels spring-y to me and like I said, I’ve been inspired by fresh recipes lately!
Pancetta - I love pancetta in breakfast recipes, and I think it’s perfect with the gruyere and asparagus.
