Breakfast Crostata is a fancy name for breakfast pizza, and with caramelised onions, potato, prosciutto and camembert, this recipe deserves it's title
Kind of a pizza, and why not? The perfect lazy Sunday breakfast. Start early...get that bread dough rising and those onions caramelising! You will find this recipe originally appeared in the 'What’s for Breakfast?’ ebook. It is quite delicious (as is the rest of the book, and should you be looking just now for a breakfast or two for house guests over Christmas or even for the big day itself, I suggest you get a copy straight away. Of course there are lots of breakfasts in most of my other books as well. So if breakfast is your thing...get yourself organised. There is a whole lot of shopping and then cooking to be done.
Enjoy.
