It's Got Everything Breakfast Pizza

My youngest child loves breakfast food. He loves breakfast casserole, specifically. This breakfast pizza contained everything he needed to make him happy, even at dinner-time. He exclaimed, "It's got everything!" as he happily munched on his second slice. We had it with honeydew melon purchased from Amish folks at the farmer's market this morning, not as sweet as their sample, but still not bad. I wish, though, it had been as superb as the sample melon!

Sausage Potato Pizza
2 c. Bisquick (the heart healthy kind works fine)
1/2 c. water
1 lb. sausage, cooked
1-1 & 1/2 c. frozen hash browns, thawed (I think the Southern-style, in chunks, gives a nicer consistency than the shredded sort, but it all depends on what you like)
6 oz. shredded sharp cheddar
3 large eggs, well beaten
2 tbsp. milk
A few grinds of pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix Bisquick & water. Knead 4-5 times and pat into a circle on a lightly greased baking sheet. Top with a layer of sausage, then of potatoes, then of cheese. Whisk the milk and pepper into the eggs and pour over cheese. Bake 30 minutes.

It would be really easy to turn this into a Mexican breakfast pizza by using chorizo and pepper jack and adding a little cumin and chile powder to the eggs. Mmm. Throw some salsa on that bad boy and eat up!
