Breakfast Pizza




In an effort to come up with a new breakfast meal that was quick, easy and nutritious the Breakfast Pizza was created and was a complete hit right from the start! Although we eat this for breakfast you can eat it whenever you like. It's good for any meal. 
The pictures show a double recipe but the amounts here are for a single recipe. This is what you will need:

a pizza crust (homemade or purchased - whole grain is best)
1 Box extra firm water packed tofu —not silken—found in the produce area of the grocery store
Season salt
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Nutritional Yeast
Salt to taste
Herbs to taste: basil, parsley, chives (optional)
Your choice of veggie toppings: spinach, peppers, olives, onions, mushrooms, asparagus, artichoke hearts, avocado... whatever you like!
Vegan cheese (I like the Daiya Mozzarella vegan cheese purchased at health food stores.)

First, drain tofu and crumble into a hot lightly oiled skillet.
Also, heat your oven to 375 degrees.


Add seasonings and herbs. Cook until tofu is lightly browned stirring every few minutes.


While the tofu is cooking spread the pizza crust with a thin layer or Vegenaise vegan mayonnaise.


Get you veggies washed, cut and ready to add to your pizza.  Layer the veggies and tofu however you would like. Leave off avocado to add after cooking.




Sprinkle the Daiya cheese over the top.


Put the pizza in a hot 375 degree oven. Bake until cheese is melted and bottom of crust is lightly brown, about 15 minutes. You will have to carefully lift the pizza to check the bottom side of the crust.


Remove from oven and put on a cutting board or surface safe to cut on. Let cool a few minutes or so before cutting. Use a large knife or pizza cutter.


Serve with your favorite salsa and enjoy!
