Pizza! Two ways.

This last week we made Pizza two different ways.

Avocado & Egg:

 We picked up a package of pre-made whole wheat pizza dough from fresh and easy, rolled it out, brushed it with olive oil, covered it in mozzarella and Avocado and then cracked four eggs on top.

It was DELISH!

Greek Pizza:

A previous trip to Vegas, we got a Greek pizza at this little cafe. It was AMAZING, and so, we decided to go back and get it again this last time we were up there. And of course, they no longe offered that pizza! So we decided to make it ourselves.

For a crust, we used Lavosh bread, covered in home made Tzatziki then a layer of gyro meat. On top of that a healthy dose of pepperoncinis and cubes of mozzarella and crumbled feta. (Earl put red pepper flakes on top of his)

I absolutely love this pizza, whether home made or from a Vegas cafe.
