Ingredients
Scale
Crust and Base
- 1 pre-made pizza crust or ready-to-bake pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
Proteins
- 3–4 eggs
- 4 slices cooked bacon, sausage pieces, or ham (pre-cooked)
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
Seasonings
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly brush the pizza crust with olive oil to help create a golden, crispy base once baked.
- Precook Toppings: Cook breakfast meats such as bacon or sausage until crisp, then set aside. Sauté any vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, or spinach until slightly softened and ready to be added.
- Assemble the Pizza: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheese over the brushed pizza crust. Distribute the pre-cooked meats and sautéed vegetables on top. Carefully crack the eggs directly onto the pizza in separate spots, or scramble them lightly before adding if preferred.
- Bake: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the eggs are just set. Watch the eggs closely if you prefer runny yolks to avoid overcooking.
- Season and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives. Slice and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to ensure even cooking.
- You can par-cook the crust by blind baking it for 5 minutes to prevent sogginess.
- Avoid overloading with toppings to maintain a crispy crust.
- Layer cheese first to protect the crust from moisture and help it melt evenly.
- Use a pizza stone or baking sheet for better heat distribution and crisp edges.
