Paleo Breakfast Meatza Recipes

MEATZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F on convection mode (or 450°F on regular mode) with the rack in the middle position, and place a large sheet of parchment on a clean, flat surface.
• Spread the bulk sausage on the parchment, and use your hands to form the meat into a rectangle.
• Place another piece of parchment on top of your sausage rectangle, and use your hands to evenly press down on the sausage between the two sheets of parchment paper. Then, use a rolling pin to uniformly flatten the sausage until it's about ¼-inch thick, making sure it's not too wide or long to fit on a half-sheet (18-inch x 13-inch) rimmed baking pan.
• Peel off the top layer of parchment and transfer the flattened crust (with the sheet of parchment underneath) to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Pop the baking sheet in the hot oven and bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes, rotating the tray around at the halfway point. The crust should be cooked through with some browning at the edges. Remove the pan from the oven.
• At this point, you may notice a lot of accumulated sausage juice. Blot the crust well with paper towels. Then, carefully transfer the crust to a clean piece of parchment. Discard the old parchment paper, and wipe away any spilled meat juices from the rimmed baking sheet. Transfer the meat crust (with the parchment) back onto the baking sheet.
• Now, it's time to go crazy with the toppings: Slather a layer of marinara sauce on the meatza crust, and add your favorite toppings. Me? I like thinly sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, red onion slices, and olives. Add cheese if desired. I prefer dairy-free cheese or goat cheese (because I don't do well with cow's milk cheeses), so I'll sometimes dollop on some chevre or almond milk ricotta.
• Return the meatza to the oven, and bake for 5-10 more minutes or until the toppings are browned.
• Take it out of the oven and let the meatza rest for 5 minutes. Last but not least: Slice and eat!

BREAKFAST MEATZA

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Place your breakfast sausage in a medium bowl and crack an egg directly in. Mix with your hands until the egg is broken up and you have a big ball of goo.
• Pour your meat mixture into a 8×8 glass baking dish and press down until you have an even surface through the entire dish.
• Put in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until you see the fat rise up to the top. It won't have to be completely cooked through since you will be cooking it a second time. Once you pull it out of the oven, discard of any excess fat if you'd like. I did.
• While your meatza is cooking, cut up your bacon and throw in alarge pan over medium heat. Cook until completely cooked through and a bit crispy. Then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate with a paper towel to soak up excess fat. Pour the remaining excess bacon fat in the pan into a jar, leaving about 2-3 tablespoons in the pan.
• Add your garlic clove, then add your sweet potato and yellow onion to the pan.
• Let the onion and sweet potato cook down for about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently to keep from burning.
• Once your sweet potatoes are soft and your meatza has cooked, start making layers. Add your sweet potato/onion mixture to the top of your meatza, evenly distributed. Then crack 6 eggs on top, you pick where you'd like them to go. And finally top with bacon through the eggs.
• Place back in the oven to cook for 8-10 minutes or until eggs are cooked to your preference. If you don't like eggs over-easy or over-medium, you could make scrambled eggs instead to top it off with!
• Let cool. Top with hot sauce because hot sauce is delightful.
