Easy to make

Serves 2
Takes less than 30 minutes, including prep

Ingredients:

2-4 slices thick-cut bacon

1/3 to 1/2 cup marinara sauce

1 garlic clove

2 eggs

2 whole-wheat pitas, Greek style (no pockets)

3/4 to 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1.      Place a cookie sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees.

2.      Chop bacon, or cut with scissors, into 1/2-inch pieces.  Fry until crisp in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then scoop with a slotted spoon onto a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess grease.  Don’t drain the pan!

3.      While bacon is cooking, pour marinara sauce into a small bowl.  Press garlic through a garlic press or mince finely and add to bowl with marinara.  Mix well.

4.      Break eggs into a small bowl and whisk until smooth.  Add beaten eggs to hot pan with bacon grease and stir until fully cooked.  Remove from heat.

5.      Spoon desired amount of marinara onto pitas, then top with a thin layer of cheese.

6.      Break up eggs and sprinkle on top of cheese.

7.      Add bacon pieces and top with a bit more cheese if desired.

8.      Carefully place completed pita pizzas onto hot cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly and center of pita pizza is hot.

9.      Cut into quarters with a pizza cutter and enjoy with a small bowl of grapes and a glass of milk.
