Ingredients
- 1/4 pound breakfast sausage, about 3/4 cup cooked and crumbled I used turkey sausage
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 small green bell pepper, diced, about 1/3 cup
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp heavy cream or half and half
- 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 1 10-12 inch pre-cooked pizza crust
- fresh chopped tomatoes optional
- fresh parsley optional
Instructions
Heat oven to 375℉.
- Heat a medium skillet to medium high heat and cook breakfast sausage breaking into crumbles until no longer pink. Add mushrooms and peppers and cook until mushrooms are golden brown and peppers are softened. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl whisk eggs, heavy cream, and seasoned salt. Add cheese, along with the meat and veggie mixture. Stir to combine well.
- Place pre-cooked pizza crust on a pizza pan or large sheet pan, then spread egg mixture evenly over crust, leaving about 1 inch of space from the edge.
- Bake pizza in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until egg mixture is set on the top and you don't see any liquid. Top with fresh tomatoes and parsley. Allow to cool for 5-minutes before slicing.
For a crispier crust:
- Prebake crust in the oven for 5-minutes then proceed with the recipe instructions.
Notes
Tips:
- Make sure to sauté any veggies you might be using to ensure there isn't excess moisture on the crust.
- Be aware that there might be spill over when the pizza bakes in the oven. This could be because the pizza crust is too small or thin, or toppings are put too close to the edge. Placing the pizza on a sheet pan will catch any potential drips.
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake in the oven without the toppings for 5-minutes. Add the toppings and bake per the recipe instructions.
- Use a pre-baked pizza crust. Whether you’re using a homemade crust or a store-bought brand, make sure it’s fully cooked before adding your toppings.
- Be careful not to overload the pizza with too many toppings. The key is to have a little bit of everything. If you’re adding other toppings you enjoy, make measurement adjustments accordingly.
