Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that the pizza crust cooks evenly and becomes crispy.
- Prepare your pizza crust according to the package instructions or your preferred homemade recipe. If using a store-bought crust, roll it out onto a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and whisk them until they are well beaten. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the crumbled cooked sausage. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through, allowing the flavors to meld. If desired, you can also sauté the diced bell peppers in the same skillet for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the pizza crust, followed by the sautéed bell peppers. Make sure to distribute them evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the sausage and bell peppers, making sure to cover the toppings evenly. The eggs will act as a binding agent and create a delicious custard-like layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture. This will create a gooey, cheesy topping that complements the other ingredients.
- Carefully place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent over-browning.
- Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. This will make it easier to slice.
- Slice the pizza into 4 equal servings and serve hot. Enjoy your PW Wednesdays Breakfast Pizza as a hearty breakfast or brunch option!
Tips
- For the crispiest crust, preheat your pizza stone or baking sheet along with the oven to ensure a perfectly crisp bottom.
- Don't rush the egg cooking – watch carefully to achieve that perfect set without overcooking. The eggs should be just set but still slightly creamy.
- Experiment with different meats like bacon or ham if sausage isn't your favorite.
- For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley just before serving.
- If you're short on time, use a pre-made pizza crust or even a premade flatbread to speed up preparation.
- Make sure to let the pizza rest for a couple of minutes after cooking – this helps the eggs set and makes slicing much easier.
- For a spicy kick, add some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce before baking.
