Hungry Girl Today: 2.18.10
Pepperoni is pleasant, sausage is swell, plain cheese is perfectly fine... but
we're getting a little CRAZIER with our pizzas today! Fasten your seatbelt
(and, um, we won't ask why your desk chair has a seatbelt)!
Breakfast Scramble Pizza Pie
PER SERVING (entire recipe): 240 calories, 8g fat, 929mg sodium, 26.5g
carbs, 13.5g fiber, 5.5g sugars, 26g protein -- POINTS® value 5*
OK, so we've been eating pizza-inspired breakfasts for years now (not to
mention the occasional slice of cold pizza in the morning), but this is REAL no-
guilt pizza for the A.M.!
Ingredients:
1 slice center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
1/3 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1 La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb High Fiber Large Tortilla
1 stick light string cheese
1/4 cup canned crushed tomatoes
Dash Italian seasoning, or more to taste
2 tbsp. finely chopped onion
2 tbsp. finely chopped red bell pepper
Optional: reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare bacon according to package directions, either in the microwave or in
a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray. Chop or crumble and set aside.
Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. Add
egg substitute and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from heat and set
aside.
Place tortilla on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake in the
oven for 5 - 6 minutes per side. Once slightly crispy, remove from oven, but
do not turn oven off.
Meanwhile, break string cheese into thirds and place in a food processor or
blender -- blend at high speed until cheese takes on a shredded or grated
consistency. (Or just tear string cheese into pieces and roughly chop.) Set
aside.
Spread crushed tomatoes over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around
the edge. Sprinkle with a dash or more of Italian seasoning. Evenly distribute
scrambled eggs over the tomatoes. Top evenly with shredded/grated string
cheese, onion, pepper, and bacon.
Bake in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes, until pizza is hot and cheese has melted.
If you like, top with some Parm-style grated topping. Slice it into quarters
and eat up!!!

Who else on this planet would bring you guilt-free PURPLE PIZZA?! We'll
answer that for you -- NO ONE.
Ingredients:
3 oz. purple potato (about 1 small one), thinly sliced
2 sticks light string cheese
1/4 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
2 drops purple food coloring (or a drop each of red and blue)
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
2 dashes salt
2 tbsp. finely chopped red onion
2 light English muffins, split into halves
2 tbsp. real crumbled bacon (like the kind by Oscar Mayer)
Optional: black pepper, additional salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place potato slices in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tbsp. water. Cover and
nuke for about 2 minutes, until potatoes have softened slightly. Drain water
and set aside.
Break each stick of string cheese into thirds, and place in a food processor or
blender -- blend at high speed until cheese takes on a shredded or grated
consistency. (Or tear string cheese into pieces and roughly chop.) Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese with food coloring, garlic powder, and
salt, and stir until blended. Mix in onion, and then evenly distribute purple
ricotta mixture among muffin halves. Chop potato slices into bite-sized
pieces, and evenly distribute those as well.
Sprinkle "pizzas" with shredded/grated string cheese and bacon. Place on a
baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray.
Bake in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes, until pizzas are hot and string cheese
has melted. If you like, season with pepper and additional salt. Now chew,
you crazy thing!

HG Alternative! If you can't find purple spuds, grab a small red-skinned
potato. It won't be as beautiful, but it'll work fine.
HG Tip! If you're noshing solo, only bake two of the mini pizzas. Wrap the
others in plastic wrap and freeze for another time -- then just thaw, bake,
and eat!
