Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough store-bought or homemade
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz breakfast sausage, crumbled pork or turkey
- 0.5 cup diced bell pepper any color
- 1 cup beaten eggs about 4–5 eggs
- 2 tbsp milk or half-and-half
- 0.5 tsp fine salt divided
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1.5 cup shredded mozzarella
- 0.75 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- 0.25 cup sliced green onions for topping
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional heat
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley optional garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 475°F. Place a pizza stone or upside-down sheet pan inside to heat.
- Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, 5–6 minutes. Stir in bell pepper for 2 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Whisk eggs with milk, half the salt, and black pepper.
- Soft-scramble eggs in a lightly oiled skillet over low heat until just set, 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stretch dough on parchment into a 12–14 inch round. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder and remaining salt.
- Scatter half the mozzarella on the dough. Add sausage-pepper mixture, then spoon on the soft eggs. Top with remaining mozzarella and cheddar. Add red pepper flakes if using.
- Slide parchment onto the hot stone or pan. Bake until the crust is deep golden and cheese bubbles, 12–14 minutes.
- Finish with green onions and parsley. Slice and serve hot.
Notes
Variation: Swap sausage for crisp bacon or use a thin layer of country gravy as the base instead of olive oil. Add mushrooms or spinach with the peppers for extra veggies.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to 2 days. Reheat on a sheet pan at 375°F for 7–9 minutes to crisp the crust.
