This may be the juiciest recipe I’ve posted ever, and when I say juicy I mean cheesy goodness! It’s a really easy one too, using ready-made naan, pizza or pasta sauce like this one chili pepper pumpkin pasta sauce, fried onions, cheese and an egg.
I’ve had this pizza now a few times and eaten it for breakfast, lunch and dinner so don’t let the title of the recipe stop you from eating it anytime of day.
And I have to admit, after you eat one, you may want another so keep the oven going for your 2nd breakfast, lunch or dinner.
