Breakfast for the Ladies

 Last week I held a breakfast for some of the ladies in our unit to discuss FRG (Family Readiness Group) upcoming events. I have to say I love having all of us together! We usually accomplish what we are there to discuss, but we also get a little of what in general is going on in our lives. The upside to this post and the spouses here is that most of them are older and have more parenting/Army wife experience than I do. It's always nice knowing someone who has been there and done that. Since we held the meeting at my house I was more than happy to cook! I made a delicious breakfast pizza from Southern Living's, "1001 Ways to Cook Southern" and cinnamon roll cake that I found on Pinterest. Both were super easy and yummy!

Sausage-And-Scrambled Egg Pizza

Ingredients

1 (13.8 oz) can refrigerated pizza crust

1 lb. ground pork sausage

6 large eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 (16 oz) jar salsa

1 (8 oz) package shredded Mexican four cheese blend

Sour Cream (optional)

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Unroll pizza crust, and press lightly into a lightly greased 15x10 inch jelly roll pan.

Bake at 425 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside.

Brown ground sausage in a large nonstick skillet, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain and pat dry with paper towels, set aside. Wipe skillet clean.

Whisk together eggs and pepper. Cook in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat, without stirring, until eggs begin to set on bottom. Draw a spatula across bottom of skillet to form large curds. Continue cooking until eggs are thickened but still moist. (Do not stir constantly). Remove skillet from heat.

Spoon and spread salsa evenly over partially baked crust; top evenly with sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese.

Bake at 425 degrees for 12 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown. Serve with sour cream if desired.
