Method
 

How to Make Pizza for Breakfast
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). This crucial first step ensures the crust bakes perfectly and becomes golden brown and crispy.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface, then gently transfer it to a greased baking pan. Brush the dough with olive oil to add richness and moisture.
  3. Pre-bake the crust for 6–8 minutes. This gives the crust a head start, making it nicely crisp by the time the toppings are added.
  4. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined. This mixture creates a fluffy filling that sets beautifully while baking.
  5. Sprinkle a generous layer of cheese over the pre-baked crust. Then, pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese, allowing it to soak in.
  6. Add the cooked bacon or sausage, diced bell peppers, and chopped onions as toppings. Feel free to customize based on your family's favorite ingredients!
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is bubbling with a beautiful golden hue on top.
  8. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps everything stay together and makes serving easier. Then, dive in and enjoy!
