Egg All Around Pizza

Frost might be on the pumpkin, but local farm fresh eggs and cheeses are available year round.  I mixed egg whites with "Allegheny Chevre", reserving the deep yellow egg yolk for the center of the pie.  Even my crust has extra calcium and protein as I used yogurt as the "liquid" for the yeast dough.  At the second rising and shaping of the dough, I sprinkled a homemade pesto, followed by the chevre, topping with a local diced fresh tomato, the yolk and a sprinkling of Bella Vita cheese.  Always a winner year round!
