Hello Everyone! I have a special guest post for you today. You have probably heard me talk about my baking woes. Today’s guest poster is the person who saves me from burning cookies and baking flat cakes. Enjoy!
Hi, I am friend of Mom on the Run and one half of Train Your Life. My name is Amanda and my boyfriend Josh and I recently started a blog to help others with eating well, exercise routines, and overall personal wellness. I will be sharing a recipe I discovered in Eating Well magazine. Please feel to visit us at Train Your Life. We would welcome your comments!
Bacon, Egg and Asparagus Pizza
Adapted from Eating Well (April 2010)
Ingredients
1 pound prepared whole wheat pizza dough
2 strips turkey bacon
3/4 cup sliced white onion
1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar
Preparation
Be sure to cut asparagus and onion prior to anything else, so they are ready when you are!
1. Preheat oven to 500°F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet or pizza pan with cooking spray.
2.Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about the size of the baking sheet.
Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake until crisped on the bottom, about 8 minutes.
3.Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on a paper towel.
Turkey bacon takes longer than regular bacon. This is what it looks like when done. If you prefer a crispy bacon, use the regular thing!
4.Add shallots to the pan and cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add asparagus and cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes more.
5.Spread the vegetables over the crust and crumble bacon on top. Whisk eggs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until combined; slowly pour over the vegetables, trying not to let any run off the crust. Sprinkle the pizza with cheese. Bake until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
Before cooking. If you want, you can use reduced fat cheddar.
The finished pizza. Both Josh and I loved it!

Excellent guest post! I love homemade pizza…for breakfast, lunch, OR dinner. Isn’t that the best thing about pizza – it’s an all day every day kind of thing?

Mari- is ww whole wheat or weight watchers?
whole wheat dough can be found basically in any grocery store…if worst comes to worst use Boboli whole wheat.
if you were referring to weight watchers–its 7 points a slice if you cut it into 6 pieces
