Ingredients

Directions:

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray. Break up cookie dough in pan; press dough evenly in bottom of pan to within 1/2 inch of edge. Bake 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 30 minutes.
In small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Spread mixture over cooled crust.
Arrange fruit over cream cheese. Stir jelly until smooth; spoon or brush over fruit. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. To serve, cut into wedges or squares. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pizza.

EXPERT TIPS:

Get creative with the fruit topping—you can casually arrange the fruit over the top of the cream cheese filling or arrange it in concentric rings to look like a fancy bakery tart.
Like other refrigerated doughs, cookie dough is easier to work with when cold. This cookie crust is an easy do-ahead; bake it up, cool completely and store covered at room temperature for up to 1 day. Continue as directed in recipe.
Stir 1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon zest into the cream cheese filling; the tart citrusy edge contrasts with its richness and plays well with the fruit.
For easier cleanup and removal, we recommend lining the pan with cooking parchment paper. Cut 14-inch round from cooking parchment paper. Line 12-inch pizza pan with cooking parchment paper round, leaving some to hang over edge of pan. Hold the cooking parchment paper in place by adding a dab of shortening or softened butter on pan before placing the parchment. Do not spray or grease cooking parchment paper. Press dough 1/2 inch from edge of lined pan. Bake as directed on recipe.

Ingredients

Directions:

Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 8 muffin cups with cooking spray.
Unroll 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls; separate dough into 8 triangles. Place 1 triangle in muffin cup; press in cup to cover bottom and around side. Use scissors to cut off excess dough; use to fill in any spaces to create a seamless muffin cup. Repeat with remaining triangles.
In small bowl, beat 6 eggs with whisk. Add salt and pepper to taste. In large skillet, scramble eggs over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fluffy and just under done. Eggs should be shiny but not wet (they’ll finish cooking in the oven).
Divide eggs evenly among dough-lined muffin cups. Top each with 1 tablespoon shredded Cheddar cheese.
Bake about 10 minutes or until cups are golden brown and cheese is melted.
Meanwhile, in another large skillet, cook 8 slices bacon over medium heat just until done but not crisp. Drain well on paper towels. While bacon is hot, fold it over like handle of basket. (Once bacon cools, it will become fragile and will not bend. It needs to cool in the rounded shape.)
Remove baskets from oven, cool in pan a few minutes. Remove from pan to serving platter. Place bacon “handles” on baskets, pressing ends of bacon into edges of baskets so they stand up. Serve immediately.
