Ingredients
- 1 prepared pizza crust or refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Colby Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon or breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar (optional, for extra flavor)
- Optional toppings: sliced green onions, diced bell peppers, or spinach
Easy swap: Use crescent roll dough or naan bread for a quicker crust.
Steps
- Preheat the oven. Heat to 400°F and place the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza pan.
- Scramble the eggs. Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Cook gently in a skillet until just set and soft don’t overcook; they’ll finish in the oven.
- Prep the crust. Brush the crust lightly with olive oil or butter for flavor and a golden edge.
- Add cheese. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the crust. This helps the eggs stick beautifully.
- Top the pizza. Spread scrambled eggs over the cheese, then add bacon or sausage and any veggies you like.
- Bake. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden.
- Finish and slice. Sprinkle with green onions if using, then slice and serve warm.
Chef’s Tips
- Soft eggs are key: Slightly undercooked eggs stay fluffy after baking.
- Pre-cook meats fully: This keeps the pizza quick and stress-free.
- Extra crisp crust: Pre-bake the crust for 3–4 minutes before adding toppings.
Variations
- Veggie breakfast pizza: Skip meat and add mushrooms, peppers, and spinach.
- Southwest style: Add pepper jack cheese and a drizzle of salsa after baking.
- Hash brown crust: Use pressed hash browns as the base for a fun twist.
