This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
I chose a savory dish for day 2 of #BrunchWeek hosted by Me – Love and Confections and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures. Our amazing Sponsors have donated some great prizes for the #BrunchWeek giveaway.
Pizza is an all-time favorite of mine, because there are so many different combinations you could have. I have wanted to make a breakfast pizza for a while and knew #BrunchWeek would be the perfect time to post. This pizza had to be extra special for this week, and luckily we have Michigan Asparagus and Red Star Yeast as sponsors this year.
I used an ricotta with herbs and cheese as a base, sliced asparagus, eggs and prosciutto to top it off. It is the perfect bite of crunchy, creamy, salty, gooey – basically everything you want in a good pizza. The crust uses Red Star Yeast Platinum Yeast, which gives it a great rise. The recipe I used makes enough dough for 2 pizzas, so I froze the second one for later.
