Breakfast Pizza

Ingredients:

• Multigrain pizza dough
• 4 eggs
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 4 slices of organic black forest ham, crisped in a pan
• a couple hands full of fresh spinach, wilted
• 4 slices of muenster cheese

Directions:

1. Flatten the pizza dough into the shape and thickness you desire, and put in a oven heated to 400.
2. Once the dough is cooked but not browned, layer on the ingredients except for the eggs and scallions.
3. Cook the pizza for 5 minutes, so the cheese melts the ham gets even crispier.
4. Take the pizza out, crack 4 eggs on top and sprinkle the chopped scallions on the eggs.
5. Place back in the over for 5-8 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked but the eggs still have a little jiggle to them (so the yolk will be runny).

Date and fig nut balls

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup roasted cashews
2. 1 cup roasted whole almonds with skins on
3. 1 cup roasted walnuts
4. 15 dates
5. 6 figs
6. water

First, in a food processor, blends the figs and dates with a tbsp of water.  Once it is pureed add the nuts and blend until the mixture forms a clump, you may need to add a couple tbsp of water to get it sticky enough to clump together.  Roll into balls.

Additional comment:

I made these again and substituted roasted pumpkin seeds for walnuts, added dried apricots and chia seeds to the mixture and they turned out great.  Experiment with different ingredients!
