# Instructions:
01 -
First things first, get that oven screaming hot to 400°F (200°C). While it's heating, if your sausage or bacon isn't already cooked, get it done! Crumble it up. Dice your bell pepper and onion. This is where I always make a mini-mess, little bits of onion flying everywhere. It's fine, it's part of the process, right? You want everything ready to go for your Breakfast Pizza.
02 -
In a medium bowl, crack those eggs. Add your splash of milk, a good pinch of salt, and a generous grind of black pepper. Whisk 'em up until they're light and frothy. This is important for fluffy eggs on your Breakfast Pizza, so don't just give it a half-hearted stir. I used to under-whisk and ended up with denser eggs; learn from my oops!
03 -
Roll out your pizza dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Honestly, sometimes I just stretch it with my hands, no rolling pin needed. Pop it into the hot oven for about 5-7 minutes. You're looking for it to just start firming up, maybe a little golden. This prevents a soggy bottom on your Breakfast Pizza, which is a major no-no!
04 -
Take the par-baked crust out. Now, here's the fun part! Pour your whisked eggs evenly over the dough. Sprinkle your cooked sausage/bacon, diced bell pepper, and onion all over. It should look colorful and inviting. Don't overload it, or it won't cook evenly, a mistake I've definitely made before.
05 -
Generously sprinkle both the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the egg and topping mixture. This is where the magic happens, people. More cheese is always a good idea, in my humble opinion. I love seeing the colors of the toppings peeking through the cheese. It smells amazing already, trust me!
06 -
Slide that glorious Breakfast Pizza back into the oven. Bake for another 12-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown. Every oven is different, so keep an eye on it! The edges should be perfectly crispy, and the center should be cooked through. Let it cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley. Slice it up and enjoy your amazing Breakfast Pizza!
# Notes:
01 -
Always par-bake your dough; it’s the secret to a non-soggy Breakfast Pizza base!\nTo keep your Breakfast Pizza fresh, store slices in an airtight container with a paper towel at the bottom.\nTry adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the eggs for a little kick, I love it!\nFor a truly special touch, serve your Breakfast Pizza with a side of fresh fruit salad.
