Summer Squash Pizza

summer squash pizza recipe

As summer begins to wind down, I have been trying to work in all our favorite summer recipes while I can. We usually have pizza once a week on Fridays, so I am trying to fill the next few Fridays with a few summer pizza recipes. After find squash for a great price at the store, I stocked up. It’s one of my favorite vegetables to add to our cauliflower rice (more about cauliflower rice here) which has been our go-to for weeknight meals lately. Having some squash left over, I decided to incorporate this vegetable into a pizza. This Summer Squash Pizza is a fresh and delicious summer pizza recipe.

Whether it’s served as a side or as the main course, this buffalo chicken cauliflower rice is a new favorite.

But, a few months ago, I stopped by to get a decaf coffee and saw these cute, little egg bites in the case. Known as “sous vide egg bites” and with an egg and egg white version to pick from, I thought I would give the egg white version a try. After one bite, I was hooked. Since I loved the Starbucks version, I thought I would try recreating the recipe at home.
