Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing dough)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon (crumbled) or cooked sausage (crumbled)
Optional Toppings
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats to get it hot and ready for crisping the crust.
- Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired size and shape, ensuring an even thickness for uniform baking.
- Prepare the Dough: Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush the surface with olive oil to promote a crispy crust during baking.
- Mix Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs together with milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the egg mixture, stirring constantly, until fully scrambled and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Add Mozzarella Cheese: Spread a thin, even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the oiled pizza dough to create a melty base.
- Layer Toppings: Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the mozzarella layer. Top with crumbled cooked bacon or sausage, diced bell peppers, fresh spinach, and sliced green onions as desired.
- Add Cheddar and Seasoning: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the assembled toppings. Add red pepper flakes if a bit of heat is preferred.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish: Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh herbs such as parsley or basil over the hot pizza for an aromatic finish.
- Serve: Slice the breakfast pizza and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy a hearty and flavorful morning meal!
Notes
- You can substitute bacon with sausage or even keep it vegetarian by omitting meat and adding more veggies.
- Use a pizza stone if available for a crispier crust, otherwise a baking sheet works well.
- Add or omit optional vegetables based on preference and availability.
- This recipe can be customized with different cheeses or herbs to suit your taste.
- Make sure to keep an eye on the pizza while baking to prevent the crust and cheese from burning.
