Christmas Morning Breakfast Pizza

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Every family should have Christmas traditions. My family only has one, but it is sacred.
Christmas Morning Breakfast Pizza.
When I tell people about breakfast pizza, they usually immediately think of this:
That is NOT what I'm talking about. (Although it does look yummy...)

Breakfast pizza is the most perfect combination of crescent rolls, sausage, scambled eggs and cheese. Mmmm. So delicious. It was originally in the shape of a pizza, but we have since sacrificed the pizza shape for a larger meal. Definitely worth it.


First, brown a tube of sausage, drain and let cool. It can be whatever kind of sausage you like, but we use regular pork sausage. (Side note: it was really hard to take pictures when my brother kept trying to sneak innappropriate hand gestures into the frame... my 27 year old brother...)

Unroll one package of crescent rolls and spread it out on a pan, pressing all the seams together. Create a crust by pulling the edges up onto the sides of the pan. My mom decided this wasn't enough and opened a second package after I took this picture and evened things out a bit. My brothers couldn't taste the difference, but I could. I will never make it with just one package of rolls ever again.

Spread the sausage out evenly on the dough. (Notice the difference in the dough. Much more even and delicious-looking now.)

Try not to sneak a bite of sausage.

Crack open five eggs and scramble them up with a splash of water.

Pour the eggs over the sausage. It doesn't look so appetizing at this point, but I promise this is breakfast heaven.


Sprinkle a cup or two of cheese over the whole pan. The recipe just calls for cheese, it doesn't specify what kind. We use whatever cheese we have in the fridge. This was a combination of an Italian mixture and cheddar.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the edges of the dough start to turn a light brown and the cheese starts to bubble.

Let cool for 5 minutes and then cut with a pizza cutter and devour.
Best served with GIANT cinnamons rolls, a big glass of milk and Christmas plates. But that's just my opinion. :)
