Easy Breezy Breakfast Pizza

Have some fun in the morning with a breakfast pizza topped with eggs and sausage. This pizza is ready to eat in 20 minutes.

Topped with eggs and other nutritious, filling ingredients, it tastes great anytime of day. Plus, you’ll use less than half the eggs and sausage you usually would for a breakfast for four.

1 8-ounce tube crescent-roll dough
3/4 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup green bell peppers, rinsed, seeded and sliced into 1/8-inch pieces
8 cherry tomatoes, rinsed and halved
2 eggs, scrambled
4 links breakfast sausage or 4 slices bacon, cooked and drained on paper towel

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Unwrap dough, press into a ball and roll out to a 14-inch circle on an ungreased cookie sheet.
2. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese, green peppers and tomato halves onto pizza dough, leaving a 1/2–inch border around edge. Press toppings gently into dough. Bake in oven for 10 minutes.
3. Scramble the eggs and cook the sausage or bacon while the pizza crust is baking in the oven.
4. Remove cookie sheet from oven and place on a cooling rack. Spread eggs, sausage or bacon and remaining 1/4 cup cheese evenly across pizza. Return to oven and bake another 3–5 minutes until cheese is melted and edge of crust is golden brown.
5. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Carefully transfer to serving platter or cutting board with flat spatula and slice into eight pieces. Serve warm. Serves four.

For variety, substitute 1/2 cup turkey sausage or diced baked ham for breakfast sausage or bacon. One half cup of egg substitute  can be used instead of eggs.
