Ingredients
Scale
Breakfast Proteins:
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, crumbled
- 4 large eggs
Cheese and Base:
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (or homemade, if preferred)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza or tomato sauce
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the cooking surface to 425F (220C), allowing store-bought pizza dough to soften at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes before preparation.
- Dust a clean surface with flour and stretch the dough into a round or rectangular shape, carefully transferring it onto a lightly oiled baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Create a thin base layer of pizza sauce across the dough, maintaining a small uncoated border around the edges.
- Distribute shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, ensuring complete coverage.
- Strategically place crumbled sausage or bacon, diced bell peppers, and onions across the cheese layer, then optionally sprinkle additional cheddar cheese for enhanced flavor.
- Slide the pizza into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust transforms to a golden hue and cheese melts into a bubbling surface.
- Extract the pizza and gently crack whole eggs across the surface, spacing them uniformly, then return to the oven for 6-8 minutes until egg whites solidify while maintaining slightly runny yolks.
- Finalize by drizzling olive oil, sprinkling salt, pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder, then slice and serve while hot.
Notes
- Customize the dough by using whole wheat or gluten-free pizza crust for a healthier alternative.
- Prep ingredients in advance to streamline the cooking process and reduce morning stress.
- Experiment with different protein options like ham, chorizo, or vegetarian sausage to suit various dietary preferences.
- Use a pizza stone for an extra crispy crust that mimics restaurant-style pizza perfection.
