Description
A delicious and hearty breakfast option featuring pizza dough topped with eggs, cheese, and savory meats.
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- ½ cup cooked sausage (crumbled)
- ½ cup cooked bacon (chopped)
- ½ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- optional fresh herbs (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough into four individual-sized rounds on a floured surface. Place the dough rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Add the Cheese: Brush each dough round with a little olive oil. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese evenly over each round.
-
Add the Toppings: Evenly distribute the crumbled sausage and chopped bacon over the mozzarella. Make a small well in the center of each pizza for the egg.
-
Add the Eggs: Carefully crack an egg into the center of each pizza, ensuring it stays in the well. Sprinkle cheddar cheese around the egg but avoid covering the yolk.
-
Season: Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper over each pizza.
-
Bake: Place the pizzas in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the egg whites are set.
-
Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of chili flakes before baking.
- Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust if available.
- Customize by adding other toppings such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
- Keep an eye on the pizzas to ensure the egg yolks remain slightly runny for the best texture.
