We’re officially in October and settling into cooler temperatures and fall schedules. Things are running like clockwork in the kid/school department, but our mornings are still a little hectic. Getting out the door with three little friends going to different places is sometimes a challenge. So, grab-and-go breakfasts are essential.
Recently we’ve been enjoying the simplicity of cereal and bacon. There are actually some great cereals on the market now with very little sugar, organic ingredients and lots of protein which makes a great start to the day. And oven-baked bacon hits the spot for everyone (the amazing aroma is a good alarm clock, too!). Things that the kids can fix themselves or grab quickly are really helpful on weekday mornings.
This recipe for Breakfast Pizza is one that you can put together quickly the night before and bake in about 15 minutes. It’s customizable, as all pizza is! The biscuit crust is soft in the middle with a little crunch on the bottom and the Boursin adds a savory and creamy element for a perfect handheld breakfast. Great reheated to last a few days.
Breakfast “Pizza”
Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 2 ½ cups AP flour or Einkorn, or gluten-free
- 4 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup cold butter 1 stick, cut into cubes
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter plus 2 tbsp honey for the tops
- 2 additional tbsp butter
- Toppings:
- -1 5oz. Package Boursin cheese softened (or softened whipped cream cheese)
- -4 eggs scrambled with salt and pepper
- -Bacon or sausage raw and cut into small pieces, it will cook with the pizza
- -Shredded Mozzerella cheese
- -Any veggies you like
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, baking soda, and salt and pulse several times to combine. Add in the cubed butter, pulse several times then mix on low for about 20 seconds or until no large chunks of butter remain.
- Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add milk and honey and mix with a stiff silicone spatula or wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Depending on the type of flour you use, you may need more flour. If you don’t have a soft dough that holds together on its own, you can add more flour. Lightly flour your countertop and knead the dough a few times until smooth. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick and fold in one side. Then fold in the other side on top of it (you will see three layers of dough, folded like a brochure). Roll it out into another large rectangle and repeat the folding process. Do it a total of 3 times. This makes flaky layers.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a deep dish pizza pan or casserole dish. Press the dough into the pan making sure to fill all the way out to the sides. Spread the Boursin all over the dough. Add your favorite breakfast toppings, then the shredded cheese. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Enjoy!
