My crust is a bit dry and crispy, healthier. I prefer, but not your average crust. I looked off various recipes and crafted to my tastes and needs. I originally put 1/2 cup diced ham in, but ended up picking out. (I think the brand is bad). but for this recipe am leaving out. I particularly like this the morning after cold out of the fridge for a late breakfast Ingredients:
