Wake-up Pizza "I serve this pizza with scrambled eggs and find that guests usually ask for just a small piece more!" -- Mary Ellen Ironside (Water's Edge B&B, Tofino, British Columbia) 8-ounce package of refrigerated crescent rolls 1 cup chopped smoked salmon 1 cup sliced mushrooms 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese 1 cup grated cheddar cheese Preheat the oven to 350F. Separate the crescent roll dough into 8 triangles. Place the triangles on an ungreased 12" pizza pan so that the narrowest point of each triangle faces the center of the pan. Press the dough over the bottom and sides of the pan to form a crust. Make sure the edges of the triangle are pressed together well. Bake 10 minutes. Distribute the salmon over the crust, and sprinkle on the mushrooms and mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Bake 10 - 15 minutes until the cheese has melted. Variation: Cooked shrimp or cooked and crumbled pork sausage can be substituted for the smoked salmon. Yield: 8 servings.
