04 - Milk (2 tbsp)

06 - Onion (1/4 cup, finely diced)

# Instructions:

01 - First things first, preheat that oven to 400°F (200°C). Then, gently unroll your pre-made pizza crust onto a baking sheet. I like to give it a little poke all over with a fork, especially in the middle, to prevent huge bubbles. This step is where I always get distracted by my morning coffee, but don't skip it! It ensures an even bake for your Breakfast Pizza base.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together your eggs and milk. Don't go crazy, just enough to combine the yolks and whites. Then, sprinkle your crumbled cooked sausage, diced bell pepper, and finely diced onion evenly over the pizza crust. This is where the magic starts to happen! Don't be afraid to spread things out; you want a good bite of everything in each slice of Breakfast Pizza. I once piled everything in the middle, and it was a soggy disaster, so learn from my oops!
03 - Now for the best part! Sprinkle both the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses generously over the sausage and veggie mixture. Don't be shy here; cheese is your friend. You can already smell that cheesy goodness, right? This layer is what holds everything together and gives your Breakfast Pizza that irresistible pull. Honestly, I sometimes add a little extra, because why not?
04 - Carefully pour your whisked egg mixture evenly over the cheese and toppings. Try to get it into all the nooks and crannies. This is crucial for a cohesive Breakfast Pizza. Then, season generously with salt and black pepper. I always go a little heavy on the pepper; it just works. You can even add a pinch of red pepper flakes here if you like a little kick!
05 - Pop your Breakfast Pizza into the preheated oven. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is bubbly and melted, and the eggs are set. Every oven is different, so keep an eye on it! The smell filling your kitchen right now? That's pure morning delight, I promise. This is the moment where I usually pace back and forth, eagerly awaiting perfection.
06 - Once your Breakfast Pizza is beautifully golden and bubbling, carefully remove it from the oven. Let it cool for just a couple of minutes – I know, it's hard to wait! Then, sprinkle with your fresh chopped parsley or chives. Slice it up, and serve immediately. The edges should be crispy, the center soft and savory. Enjoy your homemade Breakfast Pizza!

# Notes:

01 - Don't rush the crust, hon! A slightly pre-baked base makes all the difference for a crispy Breakfast Pizza.
02 - Leftovers? Keep your Breakfast Pizza slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan for best results!
03 - No sausage? No problem! Diced ham or even just extra veggies work wonders on this Breakfast Pizza.
04 - A sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley right before serving just elevates this Breakfast Pizza, honestly.
