Sausage, Egg and Pesto Pizza

 Crunchy whole wheat crust, fresh basil pesto, spicy Italian sausage, melty mozzarella, tangy artichokes and farm fresh eggs combine to make a delicious gourmet pizza that comes together in under 30 minutes! 

My latest impulse creation? Sausage, egg and pesto pizza.

Eggs on pizza? Yep, it's a thing!

I know, you are probably frowning at the screen right now.

But after making 3 variations of this pizza, I did my research. Eggs are necessary. Just trust.

This recipe could not be simpler.  Not only is it easy, it is incredibly flavorful. It is perfect for those "I'm-starving- and- must- eat- now!" moments. 7 ingredients, 5 minutes prep, 15 minutes bake time. DONE.

Time Saving Tips and Tricks:

Prep: Pizza can be assembled 1-2 days in advance. Follow recipe instructions, but don't bake. Instead, wrap pizza in clear wrap and store in the fridge until ready to bake!

Make Ahead: Ok, maybe it's just me, but cold pizza.. yes please! Not into that? You may want to skip the make-ahead option this time.

Frozen: I like to double this recipe and use 1 pizza for dinner and freeze the other. You already have all the ingredients out, may as well make an extra! Follow recipe instructions (omit eggs), but don't bake. Instead, wrap pizza in clear wrap and store in the freezer until ready to bake. I lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees and cook the pizza longer than the recipe suggests. I also wait about 5 minutes to add the eggs so that the pizza has a chance to warm up a bit.
