BFMH: Egg Crust Pizza

Yup, thank you Kalyn's Kitchen, as always, for this great recipe, even though I took out the olives. I am always down to try carb less meals and such so this seemed like a great one to try.

Egg-Crust Breakfast Pizza with Pepperoni, Mozzarella, and Tomatoes
(Makes 1 or 2 servings, depending on what you serve it with; recipe created by Kalyn after lots of experiments that weren't quite "the one.")
Equipment:
You'll need an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan to make a breakfast pizza that looks like mine.  (When I used a bigger pan, I didn't like it as well with more egg.)
Ingredients:
1-2 tsp. olive oil (depending on your pan)
2 eggs, beaten well
4-5 small grape tomatoes, thinly sliced
6 slices turkey pepperoni, cut in half to make half-moon pieces (leave out for vegetarian)
1 oz. low-fat mozzarella, cut into small cubes
Spike Seasoning, to taste (about 1/2 tsp.)
dried oregano, to taste (about 1/4 tsp.)
Instructions:
Preheat broiler in oven or small toaster oven.  Break eggs into a small bowl and beat well. Slice tomatoes and olives, cut pepperoni in half, and cut mozzarella into small cubes. 
Add olive oil to the omelet pan and heat over medium heat until the pan is starting to get hot, about 1 minute.  Add the eggs, season with Spike Seasoning and oregano, and cook until eggs are starting to set on the bottom, about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle on half each of the tomatoes, pepperoni, and mozzarella, followed by a second layer with half of each.  (Be sure there is plenty of cheese on the top layer.)  Cover the pan and cook until the eggs are mostly set and cheese is starting to melt, about 3-4 minutes. 

Put pan under the broil and cook until the cheese is nicely melted and the top is starting to brown,  about 2-3 minutes with oven broiler or 4-5 minutes in a small toaster oven broiler.  Serve hot.



Well this was more work than I usually like to put forth for a basic breakfast, this was delicious! Nice and crisp crust with a cheese crispy top. I have been eye balling this recipe for quite awhile, but I hadn't made because I didn't have an appropriate pan. MiL had one for me and I am exceedingly happy I remembered this dish. If you are craving pizza, this is a solid substitute that isn't all the rigamaroll of a veggie crust.
