Breakfast Pizza
From the kitchen of Norma (Nana) Welton

Cook sausage until brown, drain fat (or use brown and serve sausage). Place crescent roll pieces in an un-greased round 12 inch pizza pan with points toward the center of pan. Press crescent roll pieces together to form a single "crust."

Spoon crumbled sausage on top of crust, sprinkle potatoes over top of sausage. Top with sharp cheese.

In a bowl beat eggs and milk, add salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture on top of crust. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375° 25 to 30 minutes.
Nana's Tip: For a lower fat alternative use precooked turkey sausage patties. Substitute Canadian bacon for sausage, or any other topping of choice. Use a deep dish pizza pan to avoid an oven mess.

Put all ingredients into a blender, liquefy ingredients first. Turn blender to high speed until batter is smooth. Pour onto hot griddle (450°). If pancakes are made small they are easier to turn. Serves 4.
Nana's Note: Due to the small amount of sugar and fat in these pancakes, they are an excellent diet food, also very high in protein.
