Dairy Makes Sense Breakfast

Breakfast is always a great way to start the day and even better if you're including dairy! That's what makes Egg and Mozzarella Breakfast Pizza appealing, especially for the family member that seems to enjoy cooking his own breakfast with a somewhat creative flair  after we've completed calf feeding chores.
