On the farm this week: Thank goodness for the sun!!!!!!!!!!!! We are really feeling these below average temps for this season; outdoor soil temp should be around 40 - 50F at this point but we are not close to that. You may have noticed the dandelions in your yard have not bloomed yet- this is a great indicator of when soil temps are appropriate for spring sowing and growth. We are thankful for all the tunnels we have so we can move ahead with our spring season whether or not the sun and temps are in our favor. Hopefully warmer weather is on the horizon!

Spinach-Egg Breakfast Pizza | Serves 4 | total time: 35 mins
Ingredients
Cornmeal
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen pizza dough, thawed
1 tablespoon plus additional extra virgin olive oil, divided
5 to 6 ounces fresh baby spinach
1/3 cup plus additional grated Parmesan cheese, divided
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon plus additional coarsely ground pepper, divided

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add spinach; cook and stir until just starting to wilt, 1-2 minutes. Combine spinach with next 5 ingredients; spread spinach mixture over each pizza. Leave a slight border of raised dough along edge. Bake on a lower oven rack about 5 minutes.
Remove from oven; break an egg into center of each pizza. Return to lower oven rack, baking until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, 6-10 minutes. Drizzle olive oil over pizzas; top with additional Parmesan and pepper. Serve immediately.
