For the Pizza:

-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1/2 pound breakfast sausage (crumbled)
-
4 large eggs
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
For the Toppings (optional):
-
1/4 cup green onions, sliced

1/4 cup bell peppers, diced

1/4 cup cooked bacon crumbles

Instructions
-
Prepare the Pizza Dough:
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). If you’re using store-bought pizza dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. If you’re using homemade dough, follow the recipe instructions to roll it out.
-
Lightly brush the dough with olive oil and bake for about 5 minutes to give it a slight crisp before adding toppings.
Cook the Breakfast Sausage:
-
While the dough is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Make the Scrambled Eggs:
-
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into a lightly greased skillet over medium-low heat.
-
Gently scramble the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are just cooked through but still soft and creamy (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.
Assemble the Pizza:
-
Remove the partially baked pizza dough from the oven.
-
Evenly spread the scrambled eggs over the dough.
-
Sprinkle the cooked breakfast sausage on top of the eggs, then add the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan (if using) over the top.
Bake the Pizza:
-
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Add Optional Toppings:
-
After baking, top with sliced green onions, diced bell peppers, or crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving for a burst of freshness.
