Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (or 12-inch flatbread)
- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- 4 strips bacon, cooked & crumbled (or sausage)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- ¼ cup red onion, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- Chopped green onions or fresh parsley
- Hot sauce or salsa (optional)
Instructions
- Dough Preparation: Stretch pizza dough onto a greased baking sheet, ensuring even coverage and smooth surface.
- Egg Foundation: Whisk eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper, then gently scramble until softly set but not completely dry.
- Flavor Layering: Drizzle olive oil across dough’s surface, sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper for aromatic base. Distribute scrambled eggs evenly, creating uniform coverage.
- Topping Distribution: Generously scatter cheese, crispy bacon pieces, diced potatoes, and chopped green onions across the egg layer, ensuring balanced ingredient placement.
- Baking Transformation: Slide pizza into preheated 425°F (220°C) oven, baking for 12-15 minutes until cheese melts completely and crust achieves golden-brown perfection.
- Final Flourish: Remove from oven, garnish with additional green onions, fresh tomato cubes, or creamy avocado slices. Slice into wedges and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Slightly undercook scrambled eggs before baking, as they’ll continue cooking in the oven to prevent dry, rubbery texture.
- Sprinkle cheese in layers to ensure even melting and consistent flavor throughout the pizza.
- Par-boil or pre-roast potato cubes briefly to ensure they’re fully cooked and crispy when the pizza is done.
- Swap regular bacon for turkey bacon, use gluten-free pizza dough, or replace cheese with dairy-free alternatives for specific diet requirements.
