Sweet Potato Breakfast Pizza3

  • 1 large sweet potato:  cook in the microwave for 9 minutes and allow to cool.
  • 1 TBS + 1 tsp olive oil divided
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • pinch red pepper
  • salt and pepper to taste.
  • 12 oz whole wheat pizza dough
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (or Gouda)
  • 3 to 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Cook the sweet potato as instructed above, allow to cool, peel and mash 1/2 of it. Chop the other half into 1/2 inch cubes.

Preheat the oven to 450 F.  Toss the cubed sweet potato with 1 TBS olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, red pepper and salt and pepper.  Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 15 – 20 minutes, stir about half way through. Remove from oven.

Work the pizza dough into about a 10” – 12” round crust on a FLAT baking sheet coated with the remaining 1 tsp oil. 

Spread the mashed potato over the crust and top with cheese.  Add the potato cubes, leaving an open space in the middle of the pizza. 

Crack the eggs into the center of the pizza and then bake for 8 minutes. 

Remove the pizza from the baking sheet and put it directly on the oven rack, baking another 4 minutes or so until cheese is melted and egg whites are set.

Remove from oven, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with chopped chives.
