Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing dough)
Cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Meat & Vegetables
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon (crumbled) or cooked sausage (crumbled)
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach (optional)
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced (optional)
Extras
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (optional, like parsley or basil)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven now to heat up, ensuring a crispier crust.
- Roll out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough out to your preferred size and shape for the pizza base.
- Prepare the Dough Base: Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone, then brush the dough lightly with olive oil to help it crisp during baking.
- Mix the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and stir constantly, cooking until the eggs are scrambled, fluffy, and fully cooked. Set aside.
- Add Mozzarella Cheese: Spread a thin layer of shredded mozzarella evenly over the prepared pizza dough to create a cheesy base layer.
- Layer Toppings: Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs on top of the mozzarella, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon or sausage, diced bell peppers, fresh spinach, and sliced green onions over the eggs.
- Top with Cheddar and Spices: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of all the toppings, and add red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or basil on top for a burst of fresh flavor. Slice and serve hot for the best experience.
Notes
- You can substitute bacon with cooked sausage, or add your favorite breakfast meats.
- Feel free to customize the veggies according to what you have on hand or your preference.
- For a crispier bottom crust, use a preheated pizza stone if available.
- If you prefer runnier eggs, you can skip scrambling and crack eggs directly on the pizza before baking, but cooking scrambled eggs separately ensures even texture.
- Fresh herbs added after baking brighten the flavors and add freshness.
