Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats. A hot pizza stone creates an extra crispy crust.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon
Place the bacon in a cold skillet over medium heat.
Cook until crispy, turning occasionally.
Transfer to paper towels and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
Reserve about one tablespoon of bacon drippings if desired for extra flavor.
Step 3: Brown the Sausage
Using the same skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat.
Break it apart into small crumbles.
Cook for about 7–8 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
Drain any excess grease.
Step 4: Sauté the Vegetables
Add mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers to the skillet.
Cook for 4–5 minutes until slightly softened.
Remove from heat.
Step 5: Scramble the Eggs
Whisk together:
Eggs
Milk
Salt
Pepper
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet.
Pour in the egg mixture.
Cook gently over low heat, stirring frequently.
Remove from the heat while the eggs are still soft and slightly undercooked, as they will finish cooking in the oven.
Step 6: Prepare the Dough
Roll the pizza dough into a 12- to 14-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your baking pan.
Transfer it to a lightly greased baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.
Brush the dough with olive oil.
Sprinkle evenly with:
Garlic powder
Italian seasoning
Step 7: Add the Cheese
Spread the mozzarella evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese across the top.
Add a light dusting of Parmesan.
The cheese creates a delicious base that helps hold the toppings in place.
Step 8: Layer the Toppings
Distribute the scrambled eggs evenly across the pizza.
Scatter the cooked sausage over the eggs.
Add the crispy bacon.
If using ham, sprinkle it over the top.
Finish with the sautéed peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
Step 9: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until:
The crust is golden brown
The cheese is bubbly
The edges are crisp
Avoid overbaking to keep the eggs tender.
Step 10: Garnish
Remove the pizza from the oven.
Top with:
Green onions
Fresh parsley
Cherry tomatoes
Avocado slices
Hot sauce, if desired
Allow the pizza to cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing.

Tips for Success
Use Fresh Dough
Fresh pizza dough creates the best chewy, crispy texture, but refrigerated store-bought dough works well too.
Don’t Overcook the Eggs
Slightly undercooked scrambled eggs stay soft after baking.
Preheat Your Pan
A hot pizza stone or baking sheet helps achieve a crisp, evenly browned crust.
Drain the Meats
Removing excess grease from the bacon and sausage keeps the pizza from becoming oily.
Balance the Toppings
Avoid piling on too many ingredients, as this can make the crust soggy.
