Easy Caprese Breakfast Pizza
Written by Chef Shane Russ, Owner of Russo’s Cooking Personal Chef Service
On Easter Sunday my father-in-law requested that I cook for the family. Being as I am physically afraid of him, I said yes.
I decided that I needed to do something easy. I rummaged through my collection of recipes and came across this gem from Lisa Lillien. You might know her as Hungry Girl. I made one addition to take this healthy pizza over the top. Enjoy!
