Chef’s Note
I don’t like to fully cook the scrambled eggs before adding to the pizza. I make sure they’re set, but still a little wet. This ensures they won’t get dry or rubbery as they continue to cook in the oven.
Table of contents
Can this be made ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough up to 24 hours ahead, and let it rise while covered, slowly in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to bake. punch down the dough before rolling. You can also prepare the sausage and bacon up to 2 days in advance, and store it separately in airtight containers.
How to Store
- Serve: Don’t leave out at room temperature for more than 2 hours after baking.
- Store: You can wrap leftovers in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: You could also carefully wrap cooled slices in foil, then place in a freezer bag to store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, unwrap the slices and place them in a single layer on the baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, then heat for 10-15 minutes.
Variations
- Cheese: Add different kinds of cheese to your recipe. Mozzarella cheese, Pepper Jack, gorgonzola, muenster, provolone, Monterey Jack, or gouda would taste incredible.
- Tomatoes: Include tomatoes in the toppings. Add halved cherry or Roma tomatoes with the other toppings.
- Veggies: Red or orange bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, spinach, chopped onions, or squash would all taste fantastic. Cook hash browns separately and add them to the top of the pizza before serving.
- Meat: For other types of meat, layer on diced ham, chorizo, or Canadian bacon. If you want to reduce your sodium intake, swap out the bacon and sausage for turkey bacon and turkey sausage, which are slightly healthier alternatives.
