Breakfast Pizza from Smitten Kitchen

"Love this recipe! The original recipe called for a home made crust, but it took so much effort, it really wasn't practical for a fast breakfast. The store bought crust adds so much convenience that now, it's a quick and easy weekend meal, be it for breakfast or dinner."

We really did enjoy this for breakfast this morning, as it has been a while since we have had eggs and bacon. I used the individual prepared pizza crust and chopped red onion and left out the shallots as I didn't have any but other than that and the cooking time, made as directed. I baked mine at 475 and had to cook it a little longer than it have if I had followed your instructions. Mine got a little "toasty". But we sure did enjoy and will make this again. Thanks.
