? on "today's food," we're going to wrap up a week of farmers' market finds. one way of getting your delicious veggies are breakfast pizza. my son and i go to the great barrington farmers' market on the weekends and this place, somo catering makes a great breakfast pizza, so i've been trying to make it at home and i think it's worked out well. you start with garden-fresh stuff like basil, arugula, tomatoes, cheeses, eggs, farmers' market, store-bought pizza. or you can make your own. start, we want to get different layers of flavor. cut cloves of garlic in half, put them in the oven about 15 minutes at 350, and they'll come out like this. you're going to make a nice compound garlic butter. you want to make sure the garlic doesn't burn because then it becomes bitter. and you squeeze out the cloves of garlic in there and it's really great because it adds an extra layer of flavor. you just push that out.

on the side. now, in the meantime, i love caramelized onions. >> me, too! >> yes. >> it adds a certain sweetness. just in plain butter, take one or two onions and grill them down until they get to this consistency. some folks like it a little harder, a little more brown, whatever your taste buds desire, you can do that. now, you take your pizza dough and you spread it out on an overturned cookie sheet sprayed with pam or any kind of cooking oil. of those gogalies. and you're going to prebake this in the oven at about 350 for six to seven minutes so it becomes a little browner. you get that kind of started off. >> this is really good. >> it is good. >> then you start to layer all your stuff. as you can tell, you brush in more garlic butter. you'll brush it first over there when you put it in, you'll brush some more on. then you're going to put in your onio onions, which, again, have been

italian type, prosciutto, cooked bacon. put that on top. again, the great part about this is you're using everything that's come from the farmers' market, all right? then you're going to put on your cherry tomatoes, you spread it around. we've got some great barada cheese you can put in there. >> this is amazing. you make this for your family? >> i do. i do. >> oh, my god. >> you put a little hole in the middle, and then to a breakfast flavor, you're going to put an egg right in the middle. >> you put the egg on before you start baking it, really? >> you've really prebaked the crust. >> the crust. >> then you'll put this back in the oven for another six, seven, eight minutes -- 12 minutes. make it 12 minutes, until that gets set. you could leave it in a little bit longer if you like your egg a little more done. and you end up with something looking like this. >> al, it's phenomenal. >> and i -- you know what, it's just -- and people can make their own. you can have a little pizza

doesn't want that on there and puts more vegetables on. it's fantastic. hope you'll give this a try. >> never thought about the egg on the pizza, but it totally works. >> it finishes it off. we also want to mention a "today" food club member standout. jan d'atri from our affiliate in scottsdale, arizona, made this fantastic zucchini crust pizza. >> wow! n. tomatoes. and the great thing, again, everything in the farmers' markets right now, so it's a perfect time. you want that recipe and ours, go to today.com/food. >> bravo! >> okay, so, yes. thank you very much. thank you. >> well done, al. >> we've already had pizza for breakfast. how about a little "sangria" to go with it? oh, and hoda's in rio. unbelievable. country king. two things that are hoda's favorites, sangria and blake shelton. we're comboing them, right after
