- 1/4 cup sliced green onions (optional)

Optional Add-Ons:

- 2 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, chopped
Optional Sauce Base:
(Choose one for spreading on crust)

Cooking Directions (Overview)
- Prepare and bake the crust partially.
- Cook the eggs and toppings.
- Assemble pizza with sauce, eggs, cheese, and toppings.
- Bake until golden and bubbly.
- Slice and serve warm!
Step-by-Step Preparation Method
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round or rectangle and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza pan.
- Brush with olive oil.
- Pre-bake for 6–7 minutes until lightly golden (this prevents sogginess).
Step 2: Cook the Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until just set (slightly soft; they’ll finish cooking in the oven).
- Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Toppings
- Cook bacon until crispy or brown the sausage, then crumble.
- If using veggies (peppers, mushrooms, etc.), sauté them lightly to remove excess moisture.
Step 4: Assemble the Pizza
- Spread your chosen sauce base (cream cheese, gravy, or garlic butter) over the pre-baked crust.
- Evenly layer scrambled eggs over the base.
- Sprinkle cooked bacon or sausage on top.
- Add mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Sprinkle green onions or optional veggies.
Step 5: Bake the Pizza
- Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and crust is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let it rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing.
How to Serve
Serve Breakfast Pizza hot, cut into slices or squares.
It pairs wonderfully with:
- Fresh fruit or fruit salad
- Orange juice, coffee, or a breakfast smoothie
- A side of hash browns or roasted potatoes
For brunch gatherings, garnish with fresh herbs or drizzle lightly with hot sauce or hollandaise for extra flair.
Recipe Tips
- Pre-bake the crust: Keeps the base from getting soggy.
- Do not overcook eggs: Slightly underdone eggs bake to perfection in the oven.
- Balance flavors: Use both cheddar and mozzarella for gooeyness and sharpness.
- Experiment with sauces: A garlic butter or gravy base completely changes the flavor profile.
- Crispy finish: Brush crust edges with butter or olive oil before baking.
Variations
- Vegetarian Breakfast Pizza:
- Use sautéed spinach, tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms instead of meat.
- Southwest Style:
- Add jalapeños, black beans, and pepper jack cheese. Serve with salsa or avocado.
- Meat Lovers:
- Add a combo of bacon, sausage, and ham.
- Sweet Breakfast Pizza:
- Use a cream cheese base topped with fruit (strawberries, bananas) and a drizzle of honey.
- Bagel Pizza Base:
- Use mini bagels or naan instead of pizza dough for easy single servings.
Freezing and Storage
To Refrigerate:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.
To Freeze (Before Baking):
- Assemble the pizza, freeze unbaked for up to 2 months.
- Bake directly from frozen, adding 5–7 extra minutes to the cook time.
To Freeze (After Baking):
- Let cool completely, slice, and freeze individual portions.
- Reheat in oven for 8–10 minutes until hot and crisp.
