Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, chopped
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the pizza crust.
- While the oven is heating, prepare your ingredients. Crumble the cooked sausage into small pieces if not already done. Chop the bell peppers and onion into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- In a medium bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the crumbled sausage and sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Add the chopped bell peppers and onion to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the whisked eggs over the sausage and vegetable mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Take the pre-made pizza crust and place it on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the egg, sausage, and vegetable mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the egg mixture, ensuring an even layer for melting.
- Carefully place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the crust is crisp.
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to slice.
- Garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and a pop of color.
- Slice the breakfast pizza into 4 equal servings and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Breakfast Pizza Weekend Breakfast Treat!
Tips
- Use a pre-made pizza crust to save time, but for extra flavor, consider brushing the crust with a light olive oil before adding toppings.
- For maximum flavor, use freshly cooked sausage and consider mixing different types of cheese like mozzarella and cheddar for a more complex taste profile.
- Prep your ingredients in advance to make the cooking process smoother and faster, especially during busy weekend mornings.
- Don't overcook the eggs - they should remain slightly soft when you pull the pizza from the oven, as they'll continue cooking from the residual heat.
- For a vegetarian version, replace sausage with mushrooms or spinach, and add some crumbled feta for extra flavor.
- Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes after baking to make slicing easier and prevent burning your mouth.
- Experiment with additional toppings like crispy bacon, diced ham, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for those who love a spicy kick!
