pizzaslice  Perfect Breakfast, Fried Egg on Leftover Pizza

Okay, what’s wrong with this photo? A few things:

  1. I broke the yoke before I took the photo, damn it. I was hungry!
  2. I could have taken the shot from a better angle, frankly.
  3. The egg is a little, slightly, a teeny bit over-cooked.
  4. The fact that we had leftover pizza at all is just a shame. Always embarrassed when we cannot finish an entire pie. The husband and I are stronger than that.

All that said… Despite how ugly the photo may be… Despite how gross it may sound to you… This is the most perfect breakfast in the entire world and I’ll argue that fact with anyone. It truly works for me, always makes me happy and full. And while you may say it’s fairly rudimentary, I say it’s the sort of American breakfast that can get you through the day, to an early dinner.

Warm up leftover slices in the oven for 10-15 minutes and place an egg, fried as you like, gently on top. Serve with lots of coffee, orange juice and love.

Do you hate this? Do you LOVE this? :)

Maggie, I’ve been making a damned good pizza myself for years but nowadays, I often have slices to put in the freezer for later. Put back on one of m y excellent black steel pizza pans–$20 apiece at Wms.-Sonoma waaay back in the day but worth every penny–they reheat fabulously. Always looking for way to tweak breakast, now I can’t wait to try one of those slices with an egg on top. Yum!

See you at the SF dinner 3/25.

This does not sound gross at all. On the contrary, it sounds and looks delicious! Wish that was my breakfast this morning.

We had leftover pizza for lunch today and it just didn’t feel right.
Next time, am going to bump up Pizza on the schedule to brekafast and throw a couple of fried eggs on top- yum…

I had this inspiration the other day with a piece of leftover combination pizza. I added 4 strips of bacon as well. It was sublime. I cant recommend it enough.
