Ok – this was absolutely FABULOUS!! Of course I made modifications to the original recipe. Instead of pizza dough, I used whole wheat pita and I subbed turkey bacon for real bacon and added a couple good shakes of red pepper flakes to spice things up! Not that I have anything against real bacon – but I had turkey bacon in the fridge. This was a super easy Sunday night dinner – sure to be a favorite!
