Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Protein & Cheese
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (crumbled)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon crumbles
Vegetables & Garnishes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, diced
- Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Pizza Dough: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your preferred thickness. Transfer it onto a baking sheet or pizza stone lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Par-Bake the Dough: Lightly brush the dough with olive oil and bake it for about 5 minutes to achieve a slight crisp on the crust before adding toppings.
- Cook the Sausage: While the dough bakes, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled breakfast sausage and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat if needed.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into a lightly greased skillet over medium-low heat and gently scramble, stirring occasionally, until they are just cooked but still soft and creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Pizza: Remove the partially baked dough from the oven and evenly spread the creamy scrambled eggs over the crust.
- Add Toppings: Evenly distribute the cooked breakfast sausage on top of the eggs. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese, if using, over everything.
- Bake to Finish: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Add Fresh Toppings: After baking, top the pizza with sliced green onions, diced bell peppers, and bacon crumbles for added flavor and texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley or basil over the pizza just before serving for a fresh aroma and burst of color.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute breakfast sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- You can add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach to customize your pizza.
- If you prefer your eggs more firm, cook them slightly longer when scrambling.
- Use a pizza stone for an even crisper crust if available.
- Leftover pizza can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best results.
