Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 store-bought or homemade pizza crust
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
Eggs and Cheese
- 2–4 eggs (cracked or scrambled)
- 1 to 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Breakfast Meats
- 4–6 slices bacon, or
- 4 sausage links or ½ cup cooked sausage crumbles, or
- ½ cup diced ham
Vegetables
- ½ cup diced bell peppers
- ½ cup diced onions
- ½ cup fresh spinach leaves
- ½ cup sliced tomatoes
Seasonings
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tablespoon fresh chives
Instructions
- Prepare Your Crust: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out your store-bought or homemade dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone to your desired thickness. Lightly brush the surface with olive oil to ensure a crisp, golden base.
- Cook Breakfast Meats and Vegetables: In a skillet, cook bacon or sausage until browned and crispy. Drain any excess fat. Sauté your choice of vegetables just until tender but still vibrant.
- Assemble the Pizza: Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese over the crust. Evenly distribute the cooked meats and sautéed vegetables on top. Crack eggs directly over the pizza or spread scrambled eggs evenly across the surface.
- Season and Bake: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and your chosen herbs over the pizza. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and the eggs are set to your preference.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Add fresh garnishes like chopped green onions or avocado if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to ensure even cooking without burning.
- For deeper flavor, combine mozzarella with sharper cheeses such as cheddar or gouda.
- Brush the crust with olive oil or a thin layer of cheese before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.
- Choose between cracked eggs for runny yolks or scrambled eggs for an even texture.
- Monitor the pizza while baking to avoid overcooked eggs or burnt crust.
