Easter Brunch Pizza

1 (16.3-ounce) tube buttermilk biscuit dough
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
Toppings for decorations (we used red, yellow, and green peppers, red onions, and cooked breakfast sausage)

1) Remove the dough from the tube and separate it into biscuits. Pull apart each biscuit to make 2 thinner, even layers. Place all the dough pieces on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten them gently, gradually molding them together to form a single egg shape.

2) Bake at 350ยบ for 8 minutes, then remove the crust from the oven and let it cool.

3) Mix together the oil, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the cooled crust. Cover the crust evenly with the mozzarella, then sprinkle a layer of Parmesan on top.

4) Add toppings to create stripes, polka dots, and other accents so that the pizza looks like a decorated egg (a great job for kids). Return it to the oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.
