IMO:I have made both the Bountiful Brunch Pizza, and the ham & Cheese brunch squares. The BBP is much better!
I've done this recipe as an Interactive Show - it works great that way! One step I do differently though is to make eggs in the 10" Executive Skillet.I add Italian Seasoning to the crust, or Southwest Seasoning. If I add SW seasoning, then I will often serve it with Salsa & Sour Cream. Yummy!

We just did the BBP this AM at my show... they loved it... and we had a great suggestion from one gal... she says she is going to try it with shredded Co/Jack cheese mixed in the potatoes of the crust as well as the cheese on top... everyone agreed that it would be even better that way! I love that recipe!
