Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (or homemade dough)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Toppings
- 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
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or follow the instructions on the pizza crust package to ensure optimal bake temperature for your pizza base.
- Cook Sausage. Heat olive oil in a 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 the sausage aside.
- Scramble Eggs. In the same skillet, pour in the beaten eggs. Cook while stirring frequently until the eggs are fully scrambled and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Pizza Crust. Place your pizza crust on a baking sheet and lightly brush the surface with olive oil to help achieve a crispy crust.
- Add Toppings. Evenly spread the cooked sausage over the pizza crust, then layer the scrambled eggs evenly on top of the sausage.
- Add Cheese. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses generously over the top of the sausage and eggs to create a melty, cheesy layer.
- Bake Pizza. Transfer the assembled pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve. Remove the pizza from the oven, then sprinkle with chopped green onions and crushed red pepper flakes if desired for a bit of freshness and heat.
- Slice and Enjoy. Cut the pizza into portions, serve hot, and enjoy your savory breakfast pizza!
Notes
- You can substitute the breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or a vegetarian sausage alternative to modify the recipe.
- If you prefer spicier pizzas, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
- Using a pizza stone instead of a baking sheet can help achieve a crispier crust.
- Leftover pizzas can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
