1/2 c. salsa verde 1 pkg. (11 oz.) thin-crust refrigerated pizza dough 3/4 c. diced seeded tomatoes 1/2 c. reduced-fat shredded Mexican blend cheese 4 eggs 2 Tbsp. thinly sliced green onions salsa verde
What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare Basic Country Beef Breakfast Sausage (see below). Stir in salsa verde. 2. Meanwhile, unroll dough on greased baking sheet. Pat or roll evenly to 14 X10-in. rectangle, pinching together any tears. Bake 8 min. Remove from oven and top evenly with beef mixture, tomatoes and cheese. Make four "wells" in beef mixture and crack one egg in each "well." 3. Continue to bake in 425°F oven 13 to 18 min. or until desired doneness of egg is reached. Remove from oven; sprinkle with green onion. Cut into four wedges. Serve with additional salsa, as desired.
