Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
- Pizza dough homemade or store-bought
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 large eggs
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp cool water
- 1 1/2 tbsp butter
- 1 1/4 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
- 6 slices bacon cooked until crisp and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 lb bulk pork breakfast sausage browned
- 1/2 red pepper finely diced
- 3 green onions chopped
- Salsa optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C.
- Brush a 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet evenly with olive oil.
- Place the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press the dough across the baking sheet using the fingers and palms of the hands.
- Continue working the dough toward the edges of the pan. If the dough pulls back, allow it to rest briefly, then continue pressing.
- Once the dough remains in place, press a small amount of dough up along the sides of the baking sheet to form a crust.
- Bake the crust for 7 to 8 minutes, or until it is lightly set. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and cool water until fully combined.
- Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the egg mixture to the skillet.
- Cook the eggs slowly, gently moving them with a spatula as they begin to set.
- Remove the eggs from the heat while they are still slightly undercooked, as they will continue cooking in the oven.
- Season the eggs with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the partially baked pizza crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded provolone and Pepper Jack cheese evenly over the eggs.
- Top with the chopped cooked bacon, browned breakfast sausage, finely diced red pepper, and chopped green onions.
- Return the pizza to the oven.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the crust is golden, and the toppings are heated through.
- During the final 1 to 2 minutes, turn on the broiler if additional browning is desired.
- Rotate the baking sheet as needed during broiling and monitor closely to prevent burning.
- Remove the breakfast pizza from the oven.
- Allow it to rest briefly before slicing into 8 pieces.
- Serve warm with salsa, if desired.
