Breakfast Pizzas
I remember growing up eating the red barron breakfast pizza or sometimes called scrambles. They were savory, salty, and unmistakably bacon-y. I think red barron discontinued or stopped making them and I set out to remake the recipe. I found that some short cuts, like using pre made Pillsbury mini pizza doughs from the biscuit section of the grocery, not only sped up the process but also really contributed to the similar flavor. The gravy is made with the rendered bacon fat to amp up the bacon flavor. These also hold beautifully in the fridge or freezer and reheat in a toaster oven for easy weekday morning breakfasts or feeding a crowd. I double this recipe and freeze them.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Dice the bacon and cook over medium low heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is beginning to crisp. Don't over cook it to full crispness as its going to be cooked again in baking.

While the bacon is cooking, whisk the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper.

* Step 12
Cut a 1 gallon ziplock's 3 sides off to create a rolling mat.
