8 ounces (roughly chopped)

3 tablespoons (chopped)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the diced red onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper until they start to soften, approximately 3-5 minutes.
2
Increase the heat and add the frozen hash browns to the pan, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the hash browns to turn golden brown.
3
Stir in the cubed corned beef along with hot sauce (if using) and season the mixture with kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste. Remove the pan from heat and set the corned beef hash aside.
4
On a piece of parchment paper measuring approximately 9x11 inches, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle. Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet and pre-bake the crust in the oven for 6 minutes.
5
Once the crust is pre-baked, remove it from the oven and brush the surface with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the crust.
6
Spread the prepared corned beef hash mixture over the cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Make 4 wells in the hash and carefully crack an egg into each well, being cautious not to break the yolks.
7
Top the dish with the remaining 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, covering the eggs and hash completely.
8
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny for a delicious contrast.
9
Remove from the oven and garnish generously with chopped scallions before slicing and serving hot.
