| Egg-Crust Vegetarian Breakfast Pizza has a lot of pizza toppings on an eggy crust. |
(This Egg Crust Vegetarian Breakfast Pizza that's also perfect for Meatless Monday is today's pick for the month of Daily Phase One Recipes.

When I posted my Egg-Crust Breakfast Pizza with Pepperoni, Olives, Mozzarella, and Tomatoes a few people asked why it was not called a Frittata. (If you're not familiar with Frittatas, they're a type of Italian omelet that's cooked partly on the stove and then finished under the broiler.) These Breakfast Pizzas that I'm having fun experimenting with are made with just two eggs and the egg is about half cooked before the pizza topping ingredients are layered on top. Then the Breakfast Pizza is cooked for a few minutes with a lid on and browned under the broiler so the cheese is melted and golden-brown. There are similarities, but frittatas have much more egg in proportion to other ingredients, while the egg part of the Breakfast Pizza really is more like a "crust" with the other ingredients added on top. This vegetarian version of a Breakfast Pizza was just as delicious as the first one, and I'd enjoy this for a Meatless Monday breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
