Not 14 teaspoon of black pepper -
What a great dinner. Yes, I said dinner. Hubby is on second shift right now, so the kids and I had breakfast pizza. I made the kids with sausage for the meat because they love sausage. I made mine on a weight watchers pita and theirs on a personal pizza crust. Served with a side of Recipe#180063 . Thanks. Made for Bevytag 2008. -
As stated above, should NOT use 14 teaspoons of pepper!!! Was it supposed to be 1/4 tsp instead? Otherwise, this is easy to make and delicious.

This is easy to make and very flavorful! The pita makes a perfect crust. I left out the onion and used a little more red bell pepper. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I scaled this back for 1 and made this for the DM as a light dinner as she was not feeling the best though used 2 small eggs and she ate up all the eggs but not the pita bread but then realized I would have been better to have served it to her quartered and then she would have eaten it like a pizza and then I am sure she would have eaten it all up but she was in a picky mood but the taste of the egg I had it tasted very nice.

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
