Who wouldn’t enjoy having pizza for breakfast?? This Whole Wheat Sausage & Veggie Flatbread Breakfast Pizza is packed with tons of flavor and healthy, wholesome goodness!
I have a little confession to make…I LOVE PIZZA!! I could literally eat it every night and my family feels the exact same way! Anytime we have pizza for dinner, my kids call it a pizza party! Lol! They especially enjoy making their own pizzas! I love to see their interesting creations lol! They’ve made everything from pretzel pizza to goldfish & peanut pizza! ?
Because we are a family of pizza lovers, I decided to broaden my horizons and create a breakfast pizza! That’s right, I’m hosting a pizza party for breakfast lol! For this Whole Wheat Sausage & Veggie Flatbread Breakfast Pizza recipe, I decided to use turkey sausage and pile on a ton of veggies!
One of my favorite veggies is kale! I absolutely love it! Besides being delicious, it’s actually very good for you too!
Did You Know…???
- A single cup of raw kale contains Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and tons of essential minerals.
- Kale is loaded with antioxidants such as quercetin and kaempferol.
- Kale is high in Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which help to protect the eyes.
- Kale can help lower cholesterol and may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Now that you know the awesome benefits of kale, you can see why I wanted to include it in my Whole Wheat Sausage & Veggie Flatbread Breakfast Pizza recipe! I also added more veggies such as mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions!
To help keep this recipe light and nutritious, I decided to use a whole wheat flatbread, called Naan. Naan is a leavened, oven-baked flatbread found in the cuisines mainly of West Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean. I found pre-made whole wheat naan in the bakery section of my local grocery store. It made the perfect pizza crust!
To help reduce the fat content, I used ground turkey sausage and reduced fat cheese. And to top it off, making this the perfect choice for breakfast, I poured an egg on top and baked it for a few minutes until golden brown.
This Whole Wheat Sausage & Veggie Flatbread Breakfast Pizza turned out great and my kids thought that it was super cool to have a pizza party for breakfast! And the best part is that they didn’t even realize they were eating vegetables! I call that a win in my book! Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think in the comments below!
