Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Another tradition in the Turner home is to have "brinner" - breakfast for dinner - on Sunday evenings.  Aaron has quite a number of things he can make (waffles, pancakes, french toast, just to name a few) and I love having him help out in the kitchen.  Now knowing that Aaron loves pizza and breakfast I decided to create a "breakfast pizza".  I did my research and looked at MANY recipes on Pinterest one evening.  I wanted to figure out what people used as a crust, sauce, and what they actually put on them.  Here is my recipe for Breakfast Pizza.

Breakfast Pizza

- 1 recipe of biscuit dough (included at the bottom)
- 1 lb of sausage (browned)
- 6 - 8 eggs (scrambled to a soft set - still a little runny - they will cook fully in the oven)
- shredded cheese for the top (any kind will work, I used extra sharp cheddar cheese)
- 1 recipe of gravy

- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 
- Make you biscuit dough (recipe below) and roll it on a cookie sheet or pizza pan.  I used my pasta/pizza roller to roll out the dough.  I found that I could not roll out the dough and then transfer it to the pan. 
- Brown the sausage and make the gravy (recipe below).  Spread the gravy on the biscuit dough and put the sausage on top of the gravy.
- Scramble the eggs to a soft set and spread on top of the sausage.  Don't worry, it is more like clumps of eggs than a spread.
- Sprinkle with cheese.
- Place in the 450 degree oven for 11 -12 minutes.
- Let sit for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- ENJOY!!!!  Aaron enjoyed a bit of homemade grape jelly on his.

* You could use ham or bacon.  The possiblities are endless with this recipe.  Use fresh veggies or make a fruit pizza (although I probably wouldn't put gravy on it).  It makes quite a bit so you will have leftovers, which is perfect for breakfast later in the week.

*Biscuit Recipe (Mama's Recipe - best biscuits in town)

- 2 cups self rising flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 1/3 cup buttermilk (I usually just add buttermilk until the dough is moist and sticky)

Combine shortening into flour mixture until mixture resembles course cornmeal.  Gradually add buttermilk to make a soft dough.  (May need slightly more or less)  Place dough on a floured dough cloth and knead about 20-25 turns (very gently). 

Gravy Recipe (you can buy a packet of gravy mix if you desire)
 - after you brown the sausage, remove the sausage leaving a bit of fat/drippings in the pan.  Place the pan back on the stove at a low/medium heat and  add flour to the fat to make a roux (looks like a paste).  Add milk to the roux and whisk until you have a sauce consistency.  Beware it will thicken very quickly.  You will need enough to cover the biscuit dough.
