These choices make the breakfast pizza your own! {{ingredient_image_2}} Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This heat helps make a crispy crust. If you are using a pre-made pizza crust, brush it lightly with olive oil. If you're using dough, roll it out on a floured surface. Aim for about 1/4 inch thick. This thickness gives you a great base. Once rolled, place the crust on a baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone. Next, sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top. This cheese will melt and create a tasty foundation. Now it's time to add the fun toppings! Spread the chopped spinach evenly over the cheese. Then, add the halved cherry tomatoes. Make sure they are well spaced. In a bowl, crack three eggs and whisk them with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and, if you like spice, crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until it's frothy. Carefully pour this egg mixture over the toppings. You can tilt the baking sheet to help it spread out. After that, sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top. Finally, add the crumbled sausage for a savory touch. Place your pizza in the oven and bake it for 12-15 minutes. Watch it closely! The eggs should be set, and the cheese should look melty and golden. When it's done, take it out and let it cool for a few minutes. This step makes slicing easier. For a fresh look, garnish your pizza with basil leaves. Enjoy every slice of your delicious breakfast pizza! To get a crispy crust, start with a hot oven. Preheat your oven to 425°F. If using pre-made dough, brush it lightly with olive oil. This step adds flavor and helps crisp it up. If you make dough, roll it thin, about 1/4 inch. Thin crusts bake better and turn crispier. Always use a baking sheet or pizza stone that is hot. It helps the bottom cook fast and evenly. For great eggs, whisk them well before pouring. Use three large eggs for a fluffy texture. Mix in salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. This adds flavor. If you want heat, add crushed red pepper flakes. Pour the egg mixture slowly over the toppings. This way, it spreads evenly. Bake until the eggs are set, about 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, so they don’t overcook. Seasonings make your pizza pop! Use fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garlic powder adds a savory taste. If you like some heat, crushed red pepper flakes work well. Fresh basil leaves as a garnish bring a fresh aroma. Don't forget to sprinkle extra cheese on top! A little extra cheese adds richness and a nice golden color when baked. Pro Tips Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh spinach and ripe cherry tomatoes will enhance the flavor and nutritional value of your pizza. Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add other breakfast favorites like bell peppers, mushrooms, or even avocado for a unique twist. Monitor Cooking Time: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your pizza to prevent overcooking. Look for a golden cheese layer and set eggs. Let It Rest: After baking, let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the toppings settle and makes for easier serving. {{image_4}} You can make a delicious vegetarian breakfast pizza! Start with the basic recipe. Use veggies like bell peppers, onions, and zucchini instead of sausage. You can also add more greens, like kale or arugula, for extra flavor. If you want a creamier texture, top your pizza with ricotta cheese or goat cheese instead of cheddar. This makes it rich and tasty! Get creative with your toppings! Add sliced avocados for a creamy twist. Mushrooms bring a nice earthiness to the dish. You can even try different cheeses, such as feta or mozzarella, for a unique taste. Mix in some herbs, like cilantro or chives, to add freshness. Remember, the more colorful your toppings, the more fun your pizza looks! If you need a gluten-free option, no problem! Use a cauliflower crust or a store-bought gluten-free pizza base. You can also make your own crust with almond flour or chickpea flour. Just follow the package instructions for baking. These options give you a tasty base without gluten, so everyone can enjoy breakfast pizza! To keep your breakfast pizza fresh, store it in an airtight container. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before sealing. This way, it won't get soggy. If you have leftovers, place them in the fridge. They will stay good for about 3 days. When you are ready to eat your pizza, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pizza slices on a baking sheet. Heat them for about 10 minutes. This will warm the pizza and make the crust crispy again. You can also use a microwave if you're in a hurry. Heat for about 30 seconds, but the crust may not stay crispy. If you want to save your pizza for later, freezing is a great option. First, let it cool completely. Then, slice it into portions. Wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. This will help keep the flavor. You can freeze the pizza for up to 2 months. When you're ready to enjoy, thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat it as described above. Yes, you can use a store-bought crust. It makes life easier.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-made pizza crust or pizza dough pizza crust
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • to taste fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This temperature is perfect for achieving a crispy crust and perfectly cooked eggs.
  • If you’re using a pre-made pizza crust, lightly brush the surface with olive oil. For dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness. Aim for about 1/4 inch for a crispy base.
  • Transfer the crust onto a baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the surface, creating a cheesy foundation.
  • Evenly distribute the chopped spinach and halved cherry tomatoes over the cheese, ensuring they are spread out for balanced flavor in every bite.
  • In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes, if you want a spicy kick. Mix until well combined and frothy.
  • Carefully pour the egg mixture over the toppings on the pizza. Gently tilt and rotate the baking sheet to help the mixture spread evenly over the ingredients.
  • Top off the pizza with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle the crumbled sausage across the surface, adding a savory touch.
  • Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it! You want the eggs to be set, and the cheese should be melty and slightly golden brown.
  • Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This step is crucial; it helps the toppings to settle and makes slicing easier. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Notes

Slice the pizza into wedges and serve it on a rustic wooden cutting board. For an inviting touch, add a handful of extra cherry tomatoes on the side. Drizzle a little balsamic glaze or olive oil over the top to enhance the presentation and flavor profile of this delicious breakfast treat.
