Breakfast Pizza with Whole-Wheat Crust and Veggies
This recipe is a serious take on the classic breakfast pizza, with a whole-wheat crust and plenty of fresh veggies. The result is a hearty and satisfying breakfast (or brunch!) that's also good for you.
Breakfast pizza has been a staple in my family for as long as I can remember. My mom would make it on weekends when we were kids, and it was always a hit. Over the years, I've experimented with different recipes, and this is the one I keep coming back to. It's got the perfect balance of flavors and textures, and it's always a crowd-pleaser.

Why It Works

The bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and spinach add a variety of flavors and textures.
The salt enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
