Breakfast Naan Pizza

Pizza for breakfast is underrated. With its crispy crust, hearty toppings and melty cheese, it seems there is no better way to start the day. We put a morning time spin on this Italian classic by swapping out your average toppings with scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. It’s got all the delicious flavors of your favorite breakfast sandwich combined with a nutritious, almond flour-based naan crust. Enjoy your pie under the morning sky with this unique, low carb recipe!

To make this fabulous flatbread, get started by preheating your oven to 400 degrees and line a quarter sheet pan or baking dish with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, sift together almond flour, tapioca flour and baking powder and add dried rosemary and buttermilk. Whisk the ingredients together until well-combined and pour the batter onto your prepared sheet pan. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden. Remove the naan bread from the oven and poke holes all over with the tip of a fork.

Now that your pizza base is ready, it’s time to prepare your toppings! Heat a skillet to medium-high heat and cook your bacon for about eight minutes, flipping half-way through the cooking time. Once crispy, set the bacon aside and whisk together eggs and your remaining buttermilk in a medium-sized mixing bowl. In the same skillet used to cook your bacon, melt a tablespoon of butter and pour in your egg-mixture. Cook the eggs to a scramble over medium heat for about five minutes. Season with salt and pepper and spread the scrambled eggs over your naan bread, followed by the cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Finish your pizza in the oven for about four minutes until the cheese is melted. Slice into six equal-sized pieces and enjoy your Breakfast Naan Pizza!

Pro tip: This recipe is very versatile, so get creative! Top your delicious pizza with a serving of non-starchy veggies, like sliced onions, red bell peppers and tomatoes. You can also turn this Breakfast Naan Pizza into a delicious dinner with your favorite toppings. Swap out the bacon and eggs with another hearty Protein, like sliced grilled chicken, steak, pepperoni or sausage. Throw on a sugar-free tomato sauce and substitute mozzarella cheese for a classic pie that tastes like it’s from your favorite pizzeria.
