"Found @ portuguesedinerdotcom (aka Tia Maria's Blog for the Portuguese Foodie). Maria Dias is the co-author of TASTE PORTUGAL, 101 EASY PORTUGUESE RECIPES (Volume 1). Given that the Azorean Islands can boast about their thriving cheese production industry, I was surprised to note that this recipe uses shredded Cheddar cheese. In fact, after a careful search I found that nearly all of Maria's recipes w/cheese as an ingredient call for the Cheddar variety or "your favorite cheese". Maria describes her husband as a "chorizo-loving pizzaholic" so it's no surprise that this recipe would be among his favorites. Altho meant to be a breakfast pizza, I think this would also be an excellent 4-person starter course. (Times were not included & were estimated by me) ENJOY!"

Great pizza. We can get deli sliced chorizo, and that worked well (though we did use quite a bit more than called for, basically covered the whole surface of the dough, with a little overlapping). The chorizo gave it a wonderful flavor! Since I am more of a cooked egg gal, we crumbled scrambled eggs over the pizza afterward, instead of putting the raw egg on before baking it, and we really liked how that came out. All the ingredients combined well together in this, and the basil was a nice added touch.
