Ingredients
Scale
Base
- Pizza Dough (enough for one 12-inch pizza)
- Olive Oil, for brushing
Protein
- 2–3 Eggs
- 4–6 slices Bacon or 4–6 oz Sausage
Vegetables & Fresh
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup Green Onions or Chives, chopped
Dairy
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups Shredded Cheese (mozzarella recommended)
Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). On a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone for a crispy crust.
- Cook the Bacon or Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon or sausage until browned and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels to avoid sogginess on the pizza.
- Assemble the Pizza: Lightly brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheese over the base. Distribute cooked bacon or sausage pieces, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped green onions evenly on top.
- Crack the Eggs: Carefully crack 2-3 eggs over the pizza, spacing them evenly to create creamy yolk pockets during baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the assembled pizza for 12 to 15 minutes, until egg whites are set and yolks remain soft. The cheese should be melted and golden, with a crisp crust underneath.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste once out of the oven. Add extra green onions or fresh herbs if desired before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- Pre-cook toppings to prevent greasy, soggy pizza.
- Use room temperature eggs for even cooking.
- Avoid overloading toppings to keep crust crispy.
- Monitor egg doneness closely for preferred consistency.
- Consider using a pizza stone for crispier crust.
