Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (or homemade dough)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Filling
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish (Optional)
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust package instructions or to 425°F if using homemade dough to ensure a crispy crust and melted cheese.
- Cook Sausage: Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled breakfast sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- Scramble Eggs: Using the same skillet, pour in the beaten eggs. Cook while stirring frequently until eggs are fully scrambled and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Pizza Crust: Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet and lightly brush the surface with olive oil to help crisp the crust during baking.
- Assemble Pizza: Evenly spread the cooked sausage over the pizza crust, followed by the scrambled eggs. Then sprinkle both cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the top.
- Bake: Transfer the assembled pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Garnish & Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions and crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Slice the pizza and serve immediately for a warm, comforting breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute the breakfast sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- If you prefer a spicier pizza, increase the crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
- To make the crust extra crispy, pre-bake it for 3-4 minutes before adding toppings.
- Leftover pizza can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
