Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing dough)
Cheeses
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 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)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)
Finishing Herb
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (optional, like parsley or basil)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside the oven while it preheats to ensure even heat distribution for a crispy 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 cooking.
- Prepare Pizza Base: Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Brush the surface with olive oil to help it crisp and develop a golden crust while baking.
- Whisk Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined for creamy scrambled eggs.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the whisked egg mixture and cook while stirring constantly until eggs are scrambled and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Add Mozzarella Cheese: Spread a thin and even layer of shredded mozzarella over the prepared pizza dough to create a melty base layer.
- Add Toppings: Distribute scrambled eggs evenly over the mozzarella layer. Follow with crumbled bacon or sausage, diced bell peppers, fresh spinach, and sliced green onions for a colorful, flavorful topping.
- Top With Cheddar and Spices: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the toppings, then add red pepper flakes if using, to introduce a touch of heat.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Bake until the crust is golden brown, and the cheeses are melted and bubbly.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Remove pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle fresh herbs such as parsley or basil to add a fresh, aromatic finish.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the breakfast pizza into portions and serve hot for a satisfying morning meal.
Notes
- You can substitute the bacon or sausage with vegetarian alternatives or omit meat for a vegetarian option.
- Feel free to customize vegetables according to your preference or seasonal availability.
- If using a pizza stone, make sure to preheat it thoroughly to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Scrambled eggs can be cooked softer or firmer based on personal taste.
- Leftover pizza can be reheated in the oven or toaster oven to retain crispiness.
