Pizza-gain sounds like "Pizza again?" which sounds like a complaint about having pizza repeatedly. Why make the title sound like a complaint?
It's for a yacht club, so my guess is that the title is supposed to make diners think the recipe will bulk up their muscles with all that protein. (Eggs! Sausage! Cheese! No crust!) My more cynical side thinks it's an implicit admission that people are disappointed when they're made to expect pizza and then they just get baked eggs with sausage and cheese.
Yeah, I was trying to figure out what breakfast casserole had to do with pizza. I guess that the Italian sausage would be the only connection. Otherwise it sounds pretty good. It's funny that they added the gain part since pizza would be much more likely to make you fat. Proof that the low fat propaganda has been around for a while?
ReplyDeleteIt's basically breakfast strata without the slices of bread. As for low-fat diets, that trend started getting popular in the '60s, though I won't weigh in on whether a mound of sausage and cheese is more or less likely to cause weight gain than a smaller mound of sausage and cheese on a saucy crust.
