Equipment
- 1 oven
- 1 baking sheet or pizza stone
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 skillet
- 1 rubber spatula
- 1 rolling pin optional
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza crust 12 inches
- 1 cup breakfast sausage crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional for a spicy kick
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Heat the same skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, stirring gently with a rubber spatula until just scrambled and slightly undercooked, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Roll out the pizza crust onto the baking sheet or pizza stone if needed. If using a pre-made crust, you can simply place it on the baking surface.
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the pizza crust.
- Pour the scrambled eggs over the sausage layer, ensuring an even distribution.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, followed by sliced green onions.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice into 8 pieces and serve.
