Ingredients
Pizza Base
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil For greasing the baking sheet or pizza stone
Toppings
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) For topping
- 1 cup Cooked bacon or sausage (chopped) Ensure it's pre-cooked
- 1 Bell pepper (chopped, optional)
- 1/2 Onion (chopped, optional)
- Salt and pepper To taste

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness.
- Brush a tablespoon of olive oil onto your baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Carefully place your rolled-out dough onto the prepared surface.
- Sprinkle about half of the shredded cheese over the base of the dough.
- Evenly sprinkle your chopped cooked bacon or sausage over the cheese layer.
- Add the chopped bell peppers or onions on top.
Cooking
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour this mixture evenly over the pizza.
- Top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Keep an eye on it after the 15-minute mark for perfect doneness.
Serving
- Once baked, take the pizza out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
Avoid soggy crust by pre-baking the dough for about 5 minutes before adding the toppings. You can customize toppings based on your family's preferences.
