Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- 4 strips bacon, cooked & crumbled (or sausage)
- ½ cup (120 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup (120 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (or 12-inch flatbread)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup (120 ml) diced bell peppers (optional)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) red onion, diced
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- Chopped green onions or fresh parsley
- Hot sauce or salsa (optional)
Instructions
- Dough Preparation: Stretch pizza dough onto a clean surface, ensuring uniform thickness. Massage olive oil across the entire surface and dust with garlic powder to create an aromatic foundation.
- Egg Crafting: Whisk eggs in a skillet over moderate heat, gently folding and seasoning with salt and pepper until achieving a soft, slightly runny texture. Remember eggs will continue cooking in the oven.
- Topping Composition: Construct pizza layer by spreading a generous blanket of cheddar and mozzarella cheese across the dough. Distribute scrambled eggs evenly, then strategically place crispy bacon pieces, bell peppers, and red onion slices for maximum flavor complexity.
- Oven Transformation: Slide pizza into a preheated oven at 425F (220C). Bake for 12-15 minutes, monitoring until the crust turns golden and crisp, with cheese fully melted and bubbling.
- Finishing Flourish: Extract pizza from oven and elevate its visual and taste profile by scattering fresh green onions across the surface. Optional: Add a provocative drizzle of hot sauce. Slice into wedges and serve immediately while radiating irresistible warmth and flavor.
Notes
- Optimize Dough Stretching: Roll dough gently to maintain even thickness, preventing uneven cooking and ensuring crispy texture throughout.
- Master Egg Technique: Cook scrambled eggs slightly underdone before baking, as they’ll continue cooking in the oven to prevent dry, rubbery texture.
- Balance Cheese Distribution: Spread cheese evenly to create consistent melting and prevent dry or overly greasy spots on the pizza.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Swap bacon for turkey bacon or vegetarian alternatives, use gluten-free crust for different dietary requirements, and experiment with plant-based cheese for vegan options.
