Breakfast Pizza

Looking for something warm and tasty yet quick and easy during these cold winter months for breakfast? Breakfast Pizza is definitely a favorable choice for my family when we are together during cold weather. The one dish wonder doesn't take long to fix and is very kid friendly. When mashing the crescent rolls together to form the crust is a great way for kids to be involved in making the meal. Not only will they help lay the foundation of the dish but they will also have fun playing in the ewwwy ohh so fun doughy texture of the crust.

Breakfast Pizza is a great dish to pack on the go when you are traveling on vacation, sports events and any other over night travel. You can freeze this dish and reheat it in an oven, toaster oven or microwave so you don't have to worry about preparing a breakfast dish while on vacation. A friend of mine has grown accustom to preparing several breakfast pizzas, freezing them and then taking them with her on skiing vacations over spring break. They hold up great and and taste great even after traveling.

This recipe can also be spiced up with a few fun changes to keep this dish exciting.
Cheese - You can use any type of grated cheese to top the pizza. If you would like to add some spice make it pepper jack or if you want intense cheddar go for the sharp cheddar. Just remember any cheese will make a great topping.
Seasoning - The recipe calls for Cajun seasoning but if you would like to prepare a pizza with a little different flavor try mixed Italian seasoning, steak seasoning, chicken seasoning, fajita seasoning, taco seasoning or any seasoning mix that is your families favorite.
Meat - Ground turkey sausage is my favorite to use but any breakfast meat will taste great on this pizza. Turkey bacon, pork bacon, maple sausage, sage sausage, hot sausage, link sausage ect. If you are trying to make the dish a little more heart healthy use half a pound of sausage instead of a whole and use the leanest of meat possible. *Don't forget to drain your meat. Even if you buy the leanest meat it is very important to drain your meat to remove unwanted fat and protect your arteries. *
Garnish - The recipe calls for salsa but there are so many different kinds of salsa on market shelves today. You could serve any type of tomato based salsa with this dish and even plain slices of tomato or cilantro. Fun new salsas such as a mango chutney can be used to add a new and unique twist to such a tasty original.

This dish has become a family tradition for my family for cold weather occasions such as Christmas morning. Every time my family smells Breakfast Pizza in the oven smiles form on every ones faces. I hope that when you prepare this dish for your family they will not only love it but continue to love it every time you make it for them.
