Ingredients
pizza dough
1 (thawed if frozen, rolled out)
eggs
2-3 (beaten)
milk
1/4 cup (none)
shredded yellow cheddar cheese
6 ounces (none)
shredded mozzarella cheese
6 ounces (none)
deli ham
3 ounces (sliced into 2-inch strips)
cooked bacon
3 ounces (crumbled)
breakfast sausage links
5 (cooked and chunked)
onion
1/4 (minced (optional))
chives
to taste (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
1
Prepare any sausage links and bacon the night before for quick assembly in the morning.
2
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
3
If using store-bought frozen pizza dough, allow it to thaw as per package instructions. If making your own dough, roll it out on a large pizza pan to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Create indentations in the dough using your fingertips, excluding the outer crust area; this will help the egg cook evenly.
4
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Carefully pour this egg mixture evenly over the center of the pizza dough, spreading it out gently with a pastry brush or your fingers.
5
Top the egg mixture evenly with the strips of deli ham, followed by the chunked breakfast sausage and optional minced onion. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
6
Add a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese for a comforting cheese pull effect.
7
Finish off by sprinkling the crumbled bacon on top, ensuring you cover the pizza evenly.
8
Carefully place the pizza in the preheated oven on the center rack. Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, monitoring closely. The pizza is done when the crust turns golden brown and the egg is fully set.
9
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped chives for a burst of color and flavor.
10
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy it fresh, or let it cool and refrigerate for a perfect on-the-go breakfast option!
