Breakfast Pizza


This is a super easy recipe that I learned in my Nutrition and Wellness class in high school. I loved that class and have remembered a lot of cooking tips and recipes from it. This recipe is really great because you can tweak it to whatever it is that your family likes. You can add veggies or a different type of meat. Crumbled bacon would be great!!! If you like more or less cheese, hash browns, or sausage, it is perfectly fine to change based on your tastes. The only thing you do not want to change is the amount of eggs! Many recipes online call for 3 eggs or 5 eggs, but I have found that 4 eggs is perfect! Another great tip I have found and put in the directions is to bake the crust for about 3-4 minutes before adding the ingredients and baking it. This cuts the bake time from many online recipes in half. I hope y'all enjoy this recipe!

Ingredients
1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
1 pound bulk pork sausage (any type you like, I use Jimmy Dean Regular, but if you like spicy food Hot would be great!)
1 cup frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed (or just buy the refrigerated Simply Potatoes hash browns if you are making it in a few days after your grocery store visit. You could even buy the flavored kinds, but I haven't tried them before)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions
1. Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees
2. Unroll crescent dough and place on a 12-in. pizza pan; press seams together and press up sides of pan to form a crust. Tip: make a lip on the side with your rolls to hold in the eggs when you pour them in later. The pan does not need to be greased as the crescent rolls have a lot of butter in them already and will not stick.
3. When the oven has pre-heated, put the crust in the oven for about 3 or 4 minutes. This will cut down on the cooking time when you add your ingredients
4. In a skillet, brown sausage over medium heat; drain.
5. Sprinkle sausage and hash browns over crust. In a bowl, beat eggs, milk and pepper; pour over pizza. Sprinkle cheese over crust.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
7. Enjoy!

That looks delicious!!!

I can so relate to your previous post. My daughter is learning to drive and I have never been so terrified!!! Not only driving in the car WITH her, but the thought of her driving in the car ALONE!!! And to top it off, she's failed her driving test twice! All because of parking. At first she hit the pole, which is a huge no-no, then on Saturday, her second try, she was over 12 inches away from the curb. Frustrating.

Glad you are okay after your scare! I'm glad the Lord was watching over you!!! We went to Olive Garden also on Saturday!!!

I'm going to make this when John gets home. I like that you can adapt the recipe. I think I will put sausage on his half and keep my half plain.

Thanks for sharing!

I got a message from "Jennifer" on my blog yesterday and when I clicked on it to accept, it disappeared into cyberspace. It may have been from you, but all I saw was the name. I'm sorry to have lost it, if that was you! Take care. Hope your week is going well. Love & blessings from NC!
