Description

This delicious Breakfast Pizza recipe combines a crispy pizza crust with savory sausage, melted mozzarella, and perfectly baked eggs, making it a hearty and satisfying morning meal that’s quick to prepare and sure to please the whole family.


Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 13 oz Pizza dough (homemade or store bought)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 & 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cooked sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 4 eggs
  • Salt and pepper (optional, to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and grease a pizza pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the pizza after baking.
  2. Prepare the dough: Spread the pizza dough evenly into a 12” or 14” round on the greased pizza pan, shaping the base for your pizza.
  3. Apply sauce: Spread ½ cup of pizza sauce (marinara) over the pizza dough, adding more if you like your pizza extra saucy.
  4. Add cheese: Sprinkle 1½ cups of mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauced dough, making sure to leave 4 distinct open spaces for the eggs that will be added later.
  5. Place sausage: Distribute 1 cup of cooked sausage over the pizza, carefully avoiding the 4 reserved areas for the eggs.
  6. Initial baking: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese starts melting and the crust begins to brown.
  7. Add eggs: Carefully crack an egg into each of the 4 open spaces on the pizza. Return the pizza to the oven to bake for an additional 6 minutes until the eggs are set but yolks are still slightly soft.
  8. Finish and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and season with salt, pepper, and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top. Slice into portions and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of pizza sauce based on how saucy you like your pizza.
  • Use mild or spicy sausage according to your taste preference.
  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for a couple of minutes before adding toppings.
  • To ensure eggs cook evenly, try to crack them gently and keep yolks whole.
  • This recipe can be modified to add vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
