Breakfast Pita Pizza

Crafty Lady 13's Note:

This simple dish is both delicious and easy to make. You can also top this with your favorite homemade or store-bought salsa. I found this recipe in an AARP email. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it sounds delicious.

What a great dinner. Yes, I said dinner. Hubby is on second shift right now, so the kids and I had breakfast pizza. I made the kids with sausage for the meat because they love sausage. I made mine on a weight watchers pita and theirs on a personal pizza crust. Served with a side of Sauteed Bananas . Thanks. Made for Bevytag 2008.
