Just when you thought it couldn't get better...bam! Pizza for breakfast! Recipe courtesy of fitlivingeats.com

 4 Toufayan pitas
 2 cups arugula
 4 eggs
For the Romanesco Sauce
 2 tbsp olive oil
 1 cup grape tomatoes
 1/4 cup hazelnuts
 2 garlic cloves
 1/4 Toufayan pita
 2 roasted peppers
 1/2 lemon, juiced
 1/2 tsp salt
For the Basil Cashew Ricotta
 1/2 cup cashews, soaked for at least a few hours
 1/4 cup basil, packed
 2 tbsp water
 1/4 tsp salt

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2

On a parchment-lined baking sheet, spread the tomatoes, hazelnuts, garlic cloves and 1/4 pita in a single layer.

3

Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil.

4

Roast in the oven for 10 minutes, then remove the hazelnuts and pita and roast the tomatoes and garlic cloves for another 5 minutes.

5

To make the cashew ricotta, add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender, making sure to drain the soaked cashews. If it's too thick, add 1 tbsp of water at a time until it reaches a ricotta-like texture. Set aside.

6

To finish the Romanesco sauce, add the roasted tomatoes, garlic, hazelnuts, pita bread, roasted peppers, lemon juice and salt to the blender. Blend on HIGH until smooth and creamy.

7

To make the pita pizzas, place four pitas on a baking sheet that has been lightly sprayed with olive oil.

8

Spread a thin layer of sauce and add 4 dollops of cashew cheese to each pita.

9

Crack the egg first into a small bowl (to make sure the yolk stays intact), then carefully pour into the center of the pita.

10

Broil the pizzas on LOW for about 5 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the eggs are cooked but the yolks are still runny.

11

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh arugula. Enjoy!
