    Breakfast Pizza with Kale Pesto and Asparagus

    April 22, 2013 8 Comments

    Easy na'an pizza topped with asparagus, cheese and a fried egg. 

    breakfast pizza with asparagus, fried egg, for brunch or lunch

    I recently joined over 2000 people interested in tasting artisan cheeses at the Seventh Annual Artisan Cheese Festival in Petaluma. Armed with our passports to fun, a wine glass and an insulated bag with a cold pack, my husband and I were off to the tasting tables.

    Here's a super-quick recipe for a kid-friendly dish using some cheese I fell in love with at the festival along with my kale pesto.

    Breakfast Pizza

    Course: Pizza
    Servings: 4 servings
    Author: Susan Pridmore

    Ingredients

    • 4 pieces of na’an bread or make your own
    • 8 teaspoon of your favorite pesto or make your own
    • 8 tablespoon soft goat cheese I used Pennyroyal Farmstead Laychee
    • 12 stalks of asparagus sliced in half lengthwise
    • Extra-virgin olive oil
    • ½ cup grated cheese blend – I used Fontina Mozzarella, and Parmesan
    • 4 eggs
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
    • Smear 2 teaspoons of pesto on each slice of flat bread.
    • Drop little bits of goat cheese on top of the pesto, about 2 tablespoons per pizza.
    • Slice off the ends of the asparagus. Lightly oil, and arrange 3 on top of each pizza.
    • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated cheese over each pizza.
    • Place on the baking sheet and bake for 5 – 6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the asparagus is tender.
    • Over medium heat, melt a pat of butter in a large skillet suitable for frying eggs. Crack open the eggs and fry. I like mine a little runny, which takes about 2 minutes on the first side. I flip the eggs with a spatula and cook them for another minute.
    • Remove the eggs and place one on top of each pizza. Serve with an arugula and avocado salad.

    I'm a mostly vegetarian married to a mostly carnivore and am on a constant hunt for healthy, delicious recipes we'll both like. Most recipes here are vegetarian with tips for adding meat or fish for the meat-eaters at the table. Whether you're vegetarian, or just wanting to eat less meat, I hope you'll find inspiration here to try something new for your own table, even if you're sharing it with someone with different eating preferences.
