Week #45: Vermont - Maple & Pumpkin Breakfast Pizza



State:  Vermont


When I think of Vermont, I think of maple syrup and bacon.  So when deciding what to do for Vermont, I had to do a breakfast pizza.  I know some people are not a fan of breakfast food, but I LOVE me some bacon, sausage, and eggs for breakfast. Since it is the fall season, I had to add pumpkin into the pizza!  My goal was to bring sweet and salty flavors together for a pizza.  I hope you try out this pizza, because you are going to love it!



Ingredients:

1 sausage patty - diced into bit size pieces
4 scrambled eggs - I add black pepper to my eggs
3 strips of bacon
1 carton of pureed pumpkin
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of nutmeg
1 tsp of allspice
1 tsp of ginger
Maple syrup to taste
1 pizza crust (Added sugar to make it a sweet crust)

1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese



Sauce:

In a small bowl, add pumpkin, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon together.  Add in 2 tablespoons or so of maple syrup.  Mix well and set aside.


Meat:


Cook both the bacon and sausage normally.  Use a paper towel covered plate to absorb excess grease.  Cut into small pieces and set aside.



Pizza:

Preheat oven to 450.  Cook crust for 10 minutes or until slightly browned.  Turn down heat to 400 degrees.  First, cover the pizza crust with the pumpkin sauce base.  Next, add the meat and eggs, spreading out to cover all the areas of the pizza.  Then add the cheese as a topping.  Put pizza back into the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.  Remove from heat and allow to cool before eating.

Pairing:

For this pizza, I would recommend an oatmeal stout for this pizza.  I went with a stout and I went with a pumpkin beer from Magic Hat Brewing Company.  Magic Hat is one of the most recognized craft breweries in Vermont.  Cheers!

Learning Moments:


I realized with this pizza that you cannot go wrong with pumpkin, bacon, cheese, eggs, and sausage.  Any of those ingredients on a sugary pizza crust is amazing.  I cannot wait to make this pizza again, as it was amazing!!  Enjoy!
