"Everything" Breakfast Pizza

Hands On: 30 minutes
Total: 50 minutes
Makes: 8 servings (1 piece each)

Ingredients:
1/2 pound bulk pork sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup Canadian bacon, diced
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 cups cheddar cheese
5 eggs
1 box (6 oz) sage flavor stuffing mix
1 package (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza crust dough
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons butter
1-1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

Directions:


	1.	Spread pizza dough into a pizza pan or cookie sheet and press up the sides. Bake according to package directions.

	2.	Prepare ingredients so they are ready to assemble into a pizza. Cook the sausage and bacon and dice the Canadian bacon. Chop the onion. Grate 3 cups of cheddar cheese. Slightly beat the eggs with the seasoning packet from the stuffing mix and soak in the stuffing mix to soften a bit. Then scramble the mixture until eggs are set.

	3.	To make the gravy/sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When it is sizzling, add the flour and whisk well until there are no dry clumps. Let it gently bubble for 2 minutes or so, but do NOT let it begin to brown. This will remove the starchy taste from the flour. Remove the heat and slowly pour in the milk and cream and whisk very well until smooth. Return to burner and heat on medium until it is thick. (It will be much thicker than what you would ordinarily make a gravy to be. But it needs to be in order to sit on top of the crust instead of getting absorbed into it.) Add salt and pepper or to taste. (Keep in mind that there are a lot of salty ingredients in a pizza, so use a light hand when salting.)

	4.	Assemble the pizza: Spread 1 cup gravy/sauce mixture on prepared crust. Spinkle one cup cheddar cheese on top of gravy. Next, evenly distribute egg/stuffing mixture. Spread another cup of gravy over eggs. Sprinkle Canadian bacon, pork sausage, and bacon next. Sprinkle remaining two cups of cheddar. Top with chopped green onions and chopped basil and bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes.
