What's Cooking Today? Breakfast Calzone!

There is nothing like a nice breakfast in the morning to start the day right.  Try this one.  I came up with this as an idea to use up some leftover pizza dough. 

Ingredients

pizza dough
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 onion chopped
4 strips bacon cooked and broken into pieces
1 cup cheddar cheese
8 eggs
1/4 cup milk
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a heavy skillet, cook bacon, break into pieces, and set aside.  Drain bacon grease off.  Add the onion to the pan and saute while preparing the egg.  In a cereal bowl, add eggs and milk and whisk.  Put the egg in the skillet on top of the onions that are cooking , salt and pepper and cook while  scrambling.  While the eggs are cooking, add the olive oil to a cookie sheet and grease the pan.  Now, press in the pizza dough.  When the eggs and onions are done, put them right in the center of the pan going the long way.  Make sure to leave plenty of dough on the ends and sides without anything on it.  Next, add the cheddar cheese on top the the eggs.  Then, put the bacon on top of the cheese.  Finally, it's time to fold the dough.  First, fold the long sides in so that they overlap each other.  Second, fold in both ends so that all of the filling is covered, making sure to press the dough so that there isn't any gaps.  Third, take a sharp knife and make about 5 small angle cuts along the top of the dough.  It is time to bake it. Put it in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes.  Cut and serve.  I served it with fresh diced  pears.  My family rated it 4 stars.  ENJOY!!
