- ¼ cup (30g) diced bell peppers
- ¼ cup (30g) chopped green onions
- ¼ cup (60ml) milk

Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Arrange frozen tater tots across a baking sheet, pressing them together to form a uniform, crispy base resembling a pizza foundation.
- Initial Baking: Roast tater tots in a preheated 425°F oven until golden brown and thoroughly crisped, creating a sturdy platform for toppings.
- Egg Placement: Gently crack eggs onto the tater tot crust, strategically positioning them to ensure each serving includes a perfect egg portion.
- Cheese and Protein Layer: Distribute shredded cheese evenly over eggs, then sprinkle bacon bits or diced ham across the surface for added flavor and protein.
- Final Baking: Return the assembled breakfast pizza to the oven, cooking until egg whites are completely set and cheese melts into a glossy, appetizing layer.
- Finishing Touch: Garnish with freshly chopped chives or green onions to introduce a vibrant, herbaceous element that balances the dish’s richness.
- Serving: Allow the breakfast pizza to rest briefly, then slice and serve while still warm, showcasing the perfectly crisp tater tot crust and runny egg yolks.
Notes
- Prep Tater Tots Strategically: Arrange frozen tots tightly to create a solid, uniform crust without gaps, ensuring maximum crispiness and even cooking.
- Control Egg Doneness Carefully: Watch egg whites closely during baking to achieve desired consistency – from runny to fully set – based on personal preference without overcooking.
- Layer Toppings Thoughtfully: Distribute cheese and proteins evenly across the surface to guarantee balanced flavor and prevent soggy sections in each slice.
- Customize for Dietary Needs: Swap traditional bacon with turkey bacon, plant-based protein alternatives, or omit meat entirely for vegetarian version; use low-fat cheese for lighter option.
