My friends and I shared a breakfast pizza at a local restaurant a few months ago and everything about it was delicious…the crispy crust, the garlicky taste, the bacon, and especially the egg on top. Since you know me, you know I had to recreate it. But, instead of a dough crust, I recreated the pizza with a cauliflower crust. The crust was not as crispy, but then again I didn’t use cornmeal or a pizza stone. But, this breakfast pizza will definitely be on repeat in my kitchen! I hope you enjoy!
