Duck Egg and Sausage Breakfast Pizza
OK, you don't HAVE to use duck eggs for this one, but they are sooo good for breakfast: very rich and hearty. Also, you could use spinach instead of chard, and maybe even bacon in lieu of sausage. Basically you could probably put just about any breakfast meat and vegetables on this thing and it would still be delish. I mean, once you have biscuits and gravy mixed together, how could you go wrong?!
