🍳 Ingredients

For the Base

  • 1 ball of pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, for greasing the pan

For the Eggs

  • 8 large eggs, lightly scrambled

  • 2 tablespoons cool water

  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter

  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

For the Cheese

  • 1 ¼ cups shredded provolone

  • 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese

For the Toppings

  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped

  • ½ pound pork breakfast sausage, browned

  • ½ red bell pepper, finely diced

  • 3 green onions, chopped

Optional

  • Salsa, for serving

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Grease a 10×15-inch rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
Press the pizza dough evenly into the pan, working it slightly up the sides to form a crust.
Bake for 7–8 minutes, just until lightly set but not browned.


Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with cool water (this helps keep them fluffy).
Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the eggs gently, stirring often, until just set but still soft — they’ll finish cooking in the oven.
Season lightly with salt and pepper.


Step 3: Assemble the Pizza

Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the pre-baked crust.
Sprinkle with the provolone and Pepper Jack cheese.
Top with bacon, sausage, red pepper, and green onions.


Step 4: Bake

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For extra browning, switch to broil for the last 1–2 minutes — just watch carefully to prevent burning.
Remove when the cheese is golden and the crust is crisp.


Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing into 8 pieces.
Serve warm, with salsa on the side if desired.


Tips for the Best Breakfast Pizza

  • Make it ahead: Cook the sausage and bacon the night before to save time in the morning.

  • Add veggies: Try spinach, mushrooms, or diced tomatoes for extra flavor and color.

  • Go cheesy: Mix in mozzarella or cheddar for a richer melt.

  • Custom toppings: Swap the sausage for ham or turkey bacon if you prefer.
