PW Wednesday – Breakfast Pizza
 |
Pizza and beer. Two things that inextricably and undeniably go together – but what if it’s a breakfast pizza? Now I don’t know about you but I was utterly conflicted on whether it was legit to enjoy a beer with breakfast food. Granted it was dinner time, breakfast for dinner, but still something about it seemed daredevilish. So, I went and had a beer like the rebel I am. *laughs at the thought of me being a rebel*
Now at the risk of sounding like an alki – I’m going to say it anyway – beer, eggs and hashbrowns on pizza is a flavor combination that can only be compared to party in your mouth. A mouth party. Animal House style. Raucous, Insane and totally a flavor combo to remember.
The girls of PW Wednesdays, Julie, Gina, Rachel, Tina and I all teamed up to make this and give you our own takes on the dish. This is the fourth of our PW Wednesdays and I think out of all of them so far, this is my favorite.
There were plenty of veggies to keep the dish colorful and fresh.
The hashbrowns on the top were crisp and felt like a Saturday morning.
One of the best tricks I learned about crisping up potatoes came to me from ATK when I made their oven fries. Cut, or in this case shredded potatoes left an abundance of starch on the outside yielding soggy, soft and dastardly results. Bleh! The key is soaking the potatoes in cold water for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the cuts. For this recipe I soaked the potatoes for about 20 minutes and changed the water three times just to make sure all the starches were washed away. As the starch settles it forms a white swirl on the bottom of the bowl. You’ll be able to see it plain as day.
The ‘taters were drained, patted dry with a handful of paper towels and then prepared as usual. Worked like a dream!! America’s Test Kitchen has never let me down.
All whilst this was going on, one recipe of PW’s Pizza Dough was fixed up and left to rise almost going The Thing on me and nearly overfilling the bowl.
Once all the ingredients were prepared and ready to go, the pizza was easy to piece together. The piece de resistance was absolutely and without question – the egg. My first introduction to egg on pizza was in DC a couple falls ago where I meandered around Georgetown taking in a few Georgetown Cupcakes (My God!), Dean and Deluca’s (The Cheese!) , and Pizza Parradiso where I sat down with a botarga pizza, a beer, a book and had the whole restaurant to myself. It was like a scene from a movie. DC and egg on pizza captivated my heart.
Needless to say, that was the what sealed the deal on this recipe.
And since this had bacon, hash, and egg on top – Hello! Look out, Megan’s comin’ through!! It was a win through and through. I highly encourage you to make this for your family. They’ll love you forever, even though they’re obligated to forever anyway – the beauties of family.
Don't mind the dental floss on the pizza… Kidding! The cheese was superiorly stringy!
Take a peek at the other girls’ take on this pizza and see how it stacked up.

Can’t wait to try this recipe. I bet this would be really great hangover food. Not like I know anything about hangovers.
Rachel @ Baked by Rachel — May 16, 2012 @ 4:53 am
We need to drink with every recipe! Even though I don’t like beer, I’m jealous that you drank along with it
I never thought to change out the water a few times, will have to do that in the future.

Heck… even if it was 9 am I’d want a beer with this pizza.
PS I need to find that wheat pyrex bowl.

I love breakfast inspired foods for dinner. Because I’m a rebel like that. Your pizza looks divine, Megan. And I loved the photo of the wheat bowl. Hooray! Makes me furiously happy.

That cheese IS superiorly stringy, I love that photo! This looks like I would make two and eat it for dinner and breakfast!

The other day, my daughter asked me why she got an x mark when her teacher asked her to color items eaten for breakfast….of course the right answers would be pancakes, cereals, bagels…you get the point. My little girl included pizza as something eaten fro breakfast, but before I am ruined for letting my daughter eat leftover pizza for breakfast, that is because she specifically asked she wanted that slice for breakfast…Her teacher should have the test paper rechecked after reading this blog. This is definitely breakfast! Thanks for sharing.

That looks pretty much amazing to me. I think when you add beer, it automatically becomes brunch, no matter what the hour. Unless it’s college. In which case, it’s extremely early day-drinking

[...] Breakfast Pizza - THIS pizza on the other hand. THIS is something I command you to try, at once. Anything with an egg for a topping is a good idea. Have you tried a Red Robin Royal Burger? Amazing. Pizza with an egg on top – axis shifting, life altering, mind blowing – amazeballs. It just wouldn’t be a BREAKFAST pizza without some sort of clucking product on top. [...]
