Directions

1. Prepare the Pizza Dough:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your pizza pan or baking sheet. Brush the edges with olive oil to give the crust a golden, crispy finish.
• Place the dough onto a greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Bake the dough for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden brown. This will help ensure the crust is crispy before adding the toppings.

2. Prepare the Sausage (or Bacon):

• While the pizza crust is baking, cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Once fully cooked and browned, drain any excess fat and set aside.
• If you prefer bacon, cook it until crispy, then crumble or chop into small pieces.

3. Scramble the Eggs:

• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (if using). Season with salt and pepper.
• In a non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until they’re just set but still slightly soft and creamy. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Assemble the Pizza:

• Once the pizza crust has pre-baked, remove it from the oven.
• Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the pizza dough as the base layer.
• Sprinkle the cooked sausage (or bacon) evenly over the eggs.
• Add a generous amount of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.
• Optionally, add any other veggies like diced bell pepper, spinach, or green onions for added flavor and color.

5. Bake the Pizza:

• Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is fully cooked and golden brown.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

• Once the pizza is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two before slicing.
• Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives, and serve with hot sauce or salsa if desired. Enjoy the perfect breakfast pizza!
