This is my recipe for Breakfast Pizza. It is a hit with the entire family (and my coworkers too):
12 Eggs
1 lb Sausage
1/2 Bag of Ore Ida Crispy Crowns (Flat round tater tots)
1 can refrigerated pizza crust
1 15oz Can Rico’s Nacho Cheese
- Preheat the oven for the Tater Tots and get the Tater Tots ready to cook.
- While the oven is preheating, Grease a 13×9 cake pan. Unroll the pizza crust into the cake pan. If time permits, you may want to start cracking the eggs and getting them ready.
- Once the oven is preheated, bake the Tater tots according to directions.
- While the tater tots are baking, start by browning the sausage. Spread the sausage on the pizza crust.
- Using the same pan you browned the sausage in and utilizing a small amount of the sausage grease, scramble the eggs. Spread the eggs on top of the sausage.
- After the tater tots are done baking, Put a layer of tater tots on top of the scrambled eggs.
- If you are going to be serving this right away, reset the oven temp to 400.
- If you are preparing this the night before, put a lid on the pizza and put it in the fridge. Then in the morning, pull the pizza out of the fridge about half an hour before cooking and preheat the oven to 400.
- Spread the Rico’s Nacho Cheese on top. (Sort of like a magically delicious cheese frosting!)
- Put in the oven for 30 minutes. Note: If you put the pizza in the fridge overnight, you may need to add a couple of minutes.
Pull it out and serve. The kids love this recipe.
Notes:
- The real secret to this recipe is the Rico’s. Don’t use other brands of Nacho Cheese as it will not taste right.
- You really should drain the grease off of the sausage, but I’ve found it to be very delicious to pour the grease in the pizza crust when I put the sausage on.
- This recipe with bacon is also very delicious, but the bacon needs to be crumbled as it doesn’t slice very well in the cake pan.
- The spice level of the sausage will affect the overall HEAT of the pizza.
- I’ve tried various brands of pizza crust and they all taste relatively the same.
