Shh Don’t Tell Chicken Pot Pie

paYears ago when we were using the word “millennium” a lot, I went to this gathering at a friend’s house and she was all, “Hey, you want some chicken pot pie?” I thought that was  a weird thing to offer, because in my upbringing, that means you’re gonna open a pre-made frozen miniature pie and pop it in the oven for 30 minutes.

It occurred to me that I had all the ingredients handy to make this sausage, egg & cheddar pizza from scratch. Just look at that crust, boys and girls. Get a closeup of those hearty breakfast toppings. Mmm. I learned after last time that you have to shore up the edges of the crust or you’re gonna have an egg river pretty quick. Oh and you butter those edges halfway into baking time so they get deliciously crunchy.

Here’s the recipe (give or take) … Continue reading “Sausage, Egg & Cheddar Breakfast Pizza”
