Delicious cheese crust breakfast pizza: a hearty morning delight recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: 2 cups
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese: 1/2 cup
  • Eggs: 6 large
  • Cooked Breakfast Sausage: 1 cup, crumbled
  • Cooked Bacon: 4 slices, crumbled
  • Diced Bell Peppers: 1/2 cup
  • Diced Onion: 1/4 cup
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Spread the cheese mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, forming a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
  3. Step 3: Bake the cheese crust for 8-10 minutes, or until melted and lightly golden brown. Remove from oven.
  4. Step 4: While the crust bakes, whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. In a skillet, sauté the diced bell peppers and onion in olive oil until softened. Add the cooked sausage and bacon to the skillet and heat through.
  5. Step 5: Pour the egg mixture over the baked cheese crust. Sprinkle the sausage, bacon, bell pepper, and onion mixture evenly over the eggs.
  6. Step 6: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Store leftover slices in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, ensuring maximum freshness by wrapping them individually in plastic wrap.
  • Reheat slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes for best results, maintaining a crispy crust and evenly heated toppings.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley to elevate the flavors and add a touch of freshness.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sautéed vegetables for a subtle kick that complements the savory toppings.
