Breakfast Pizza, Biscuits and Gravy Style

It was a cooking day at our house.  We have this beautiful bounty of onions and peppers that needed to get in our belly.

This morning, Frank gave me three choices for breakfast (after our appetizer of a slice of pumpkin pie).  Am I glad we chose this one!  He made breakfast while I cooked up some stromboli - take a look at the recipe here.

It was biscuits and gravy meets pizza.  And it was good.

It all started a few weeks ago.  We took my sister to one of our favorite restaurants, Auntie Mae's.  It is amazing home cooking.  Frank ordered biscuits and gravy and they asked if he wanted peppers and onions on his B&G.  Of course, he said.  I don't know if we'll go back to having them any other way.

This morning, we started with our favorite pizza dough recipe.
Then added some German Sausage from Stroud's Meat Locker.
Plus the peppers and onions.
Some gravy.
And sharp cheddar cheese.
The result?  YUM!!

Franks B&G Breakfast Pizza
1 pizza dough recipe (here's our favorite - we half the flour white and whole wheat)
1/4 lb sausage
1 onion, diced
3 -4 peppers (Bell peppers, Chocolate peppers and Cubanelle peppers), diced
1/4 cup butter (or bacon fat.  Bacon fat makes things yummy)
1/4 cup whole wheat flour - the whole wheat flour gives it a nice nutty taste)
2 cups milk
Salt
Pepper
Cheese

Directions:
1.  Brown sausage in a stainless steel skillet (this will make whisking easier later on).  Remove to a separate bowl leaving any drippings in the pan.
2. Meanwhile, make sure your pizza crust is ready to go.
3.  Saute onions and peppers.  When done to your liking, add them to the sausage bowl.
4.  Melt butter in same skillet.  Whisk in flour and let mixture bubble.  When cooked, add milk and continue to whisk.
5. Roll out dough on warmed pizza stone or cookie sheet.
6.  Top with gravy and sausage mixture.  Cover with cheese (sharp cheddar was yummy).
7. Bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until done.
8. Let cool for a few minutes.  Cut and enjoy.
