I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for P.A.N. Cornmeal. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participating. 

I love cooking and spending time in the kitchen. I have wonderful memories of cooking with my mom and grandma when I was younger and I try to create those same memories with my kids. I’ve been cooking with my ten year old since he was old enough to walk and he’s quite the little chef today. Some of our favorite recipes to re-create are those I made as a child. One thing I remember my mom cooking with a lot was cornmeal. While I don’t use it in recipes nearly as much as she did, I do love cooking with cornmeal when making meals from scratch. The versatility of cornmeal is what inspired this recipe.

When I was asked to be a P.A.N. Cornmeal ambassador, I eagerly said yes. Knowing how much I loved my mom’s recipes, I knew this would be a fun opportunity to share some of those with my own son and create new ones together.

P.A.N. Cornmeal, the number one cornmeal in South America, and has been around for many years but only recently begun making it’s way into kitchens in the USA. Corn is native to the Americas, but due to its rich nutrients and versatility, cornmeal is a staple in countries all over the globe.

When it came time to create a recipe using P.A.N. Cornmeal, I knew exactly what I wanted to make. A delicious breakfast pizza that would be a delicious choice any time of day. The cornmeal crust gave the pizza a delicious taste that complimented the eggs, cheese and bacon perfectly.

This Breakfast Pizza would be a delicious option for a brunch or even just a fun twist on dinner. You can get as creative as you would like and even change it up each time you make it. For this recipe I went with a delicious combination of bacon, spinach, hash browns, eggs, feta and fresh parmesan cheese.

Breakfast Pizza

Ingredients for the Pizza Dough:
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tsp. active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup P.A.N. Cornmeal
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Pizza Toppings:
  • 4 strips of bacon cooked
  • 3 tbsp. feta cheese 
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns 
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 -3 large leaves of fresh basil thinly sliced.
  • Pepper
Step 1: In a small bowl,  mix yeast and sugar with warm water. Let sit until yeast is dissolved and mixture turns foamy (about ten minutes)
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, and salt. Make a well in center and pour in yeast mixture and oil. 
Step 3: Slowly mix ingredients together. Once dough forms a ball, transfer to a bowl lightly greased with oil. Cover and allow to rise in a warm location until it doubles in size. 
Step 4: Once dough is ready, pre-heat oven to 425˚. Shape dough into desired pizza pan or on pizza stone. 
Step 5: Brush top of pizza crust with small amount of extra virgin olive oil. 
Step 6: Sprinkle frozen hash browns on top of pizza crust and brush with olive oil. Top with fresh spinach leaves. 
Step 7: Crack 3 – 4 eggs gently on top of hash browns. Top with bacon, feta cheese and parmesan cheese and basil. Sprinkle top of pizza with pepper. 
Step 8: Bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until eggs are set and crust begins to brown. 

Remove from oven and let set for a minute or two and serve. My family loved it and I can’t wait to make it again!
