– 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon

– ¼ cup sliced green onions
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
– Fresh parsley for garnishing (optional)
Follow these simple steps to create The Best Breakfast Pizza with ease:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: If using a store-bought crust, roll it out on a pizza stone or baking sheet. Brush olive oil or spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage or bacon until fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside.
4. Beat the Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the cooked meat evenly over the pizza crust. Then, pour the beaten eggs on top.
6. Layer the Cheese: Evenly distribute shredded mozzarella cheese atop the eggs. Add bell peppers and green onions for extra flavor and color.
7. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the eggs are set.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top after removing it from the oven. Finish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
9. Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing. This helps maintain the integrity of the toppings.
10. Enjoy: Serve warm, and watch as everyone digs into the masterpiece you’ve created!
