Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- 4 strips bacon, cooked & crumbled (or sausage)
Cheese and Base:
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (or 12-inch flatbread)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- ½ cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- ¼ cup red onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Chopped green onions or fresh parsley
- Hot sauce or salsa (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the foundation by stretching the pizza dough across a well-greased baking surface, ensuring even coverage and a thin, crisp base.
- Craft the egg mixture by whisking together eggs with a splash of milk, seasoning with delicate pinches of salt and freshly cracked pepper until smooth and well-integrated.
- Gently heat a skillet and transform the egg mixture into soft, pillowy scrambled eggs, stirring continuously to achieve a light, creamy texture without overcooking.
- Enhance the dough’s flavor profile by delicately brushing olive oil across the surface, then dusting with aromatic garlic powder and a sprinkle of black pepper for depth.
- Distribute the scrambled eggs evenly across the prepared crust, creating a uniform layer that will serve as the pizza’s primary foundation.
- Lavishly adorn the pizza with a medley of crumbled bacon, crisp potato pieces, shredded cheese, and vibrant green onions, ensuring a harmonious distribution of ingredients.
- Transfer the pizza to a preheated oven calibrated to 425°F, allowing it to transform into a golden, bubbling masterpiece over 12-15 minutes.
- Elevate the final presentation by garnishing with additional green onions, fresh diced tomatoes, or creamy avocado slices for a burst of color and complementary flavors.
- Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately, capturing the perfect blend of breakfast ingredients in each warm, inviting bite.
Notes
- Save time by using pre-cooked hash browns or leftover roasted potatoes to speed up breakfast pizza preparation.
- Customize the pizza with various protein options like ham, sausage, or vegetarian alternatives such as tofu scramble for dietary preferences.
- Prevent soggy crust by precooking potatoes and eggs slightly before assembling to reduce moisture and ensure a crispy base.
- Keep eggs creamy by removing them from heat just before fully setting, as they’ll continue cooking in the oven and maintain a soft texture.
