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 Recipe#180063 . Thanks. Made for Bevytag 2008.

As stated above, should NOT use 14 teaspoons of pepper!!! Was it supposed to be 1/4 tsp instead? Otherwise, this is easy to make and delicious.

This is easy to make and very flavorful! The pita makes a perfect crust. I left out the onion and used a little more red bell pepper. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I scaled this back for 1 and made this for the DM as a light dinner as she was not feeling the best though used 2 small eggs and she ate up all the eggs but not the pita bread but then realized I would have been better to have served it to her quartered and then she would have eaten it like a pizza and then I am sure she would have eaten it all up but she was in a picky mood but the taste of the egg I had it tasted very nice.
