Bacon lovers dream pie

After a long day at the NARBC reptile expo I came home starving and to a empty pantry.

My original plan was to just make a handful of bacon and call it good...But as I pulled the bacon out of the fridge, I spotted a jar of Paleo-friendly pizza sauce in the pantry.

I had a mental firestorm. Bacon pizza crust? Hmm, sure, why not. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed like it might work.

As I was lining the bacon dish with bacon, I realized that no matter how I layered it, it wouldn't hold together too well...especially once I added sauce.

EGGS! Of course! Eggs can hold everything together. It's at this point that I started having my doubts about how effective it was going to be, but I proceeded anyhow.

   
  Ingredients

1. 1/2 pack of bacon
2. 3 eggs
3. 3/4 cup pizza sauce
4. cheese of your choice
5. toppings of your choice (c'mon its pizza, I don't have to spell it all out for you) ;)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Line baking dish with desired amount of bacon.

bake in oven until browned and lightly crispy.

Drain Grease

*Side note, cook bacon a little longer than I did. I used the rationalization that the bacon would continue to cook, but it didn't really. Some was crispy and some was chewy. I would cook until its crispy.

Mix eggs in a bowl, add splash of milk or what ever YOU use for scrambled eggs. Pour mixture over bacon and return to oven for several minutes until eggs are firm.

Remove from oven and drain any additional grease if you can.

I found it easier to just turn the pan over a cookie sheet. Eggs and all came out nearly perfect.

Spread sauce over makeshift pizza crust

Add cheese and toppings

Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted to a golden brown

Cut and Enjoy!

I was rather surprised that this tasted just like the pizza I had been missing for the past few months. Really makes me wish I had researched Paleo pizza recipes prior. Not sure if there are any out there like this...if so then I guess it's not as original as I had thought. The only downside is you really still need a fork to eat it. You could pick it up but the "crust" is still pretty soft.
