·      3/4 cup diced tomatoes

·      ½ cup reduced-fat shredded Mexican blend cheese

·      6 eggs

·      2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions

Preparation:

1.     Preheat oven to 218°C. Prepare Basic County Beef Breakfast Sausage. Stir in salsa verde.

Basic Country Beef Breakfast Sausage: Combine ½ kg U.S. Ground Beef (96% lean), 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage or ½ teaspoon rubbed sage, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add beef mixture; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 2cm crumbles and stirring occasionally.

2.     Meanwhile, coat large shallow-rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Unroll dough on prepared baking sheet. Pat or roll evenly to 28 by 35 rectangle, pinching together any tears, if needed. Bake 8 minutes. Remove from oven and top evenly with beef mixture, tomatoes and cheese. Make six "wells" in beef mixture and crack one egg in each "well."

3.     Bake in 218°C oven 13 to 18 minutes or until desired doneness of egg is reached. Remove from oven; sprinkle with green onions. Cut into six pieces. Serve with additional salsa, as desired.
