Why did it take us this long to try a breakfast pizza? WHY GOD WHY (name that TV show)?! It is no secret that we love pizza of all sorts: deep dish, garlic bread pizza, pizza fondue, pizza potato skins, pizza dip, gyro pizza, pizza burgers. Have I convinced you yet…because I could go on for days. The fact that we hadn’t experimented with breakfast pizza up until now is mind boggling.
Luckily the wait is over. And we found the perfect breakfast pizza recipe. Kara wouldn’t go near it because she doesn’t like sausage or egg, but Cliff, my Mom, my Dad and I all loved it! It is SUPER quick to make, a perfect option for company and it’s easily adaptable. We were looking for a spicy version so we went with pepper jack cheese but I will definitely try it with other cheeses too. I think it would also taste great with mozzarella cheese, colby-jack, monterrey jack…you name it.
Are you planning any brunch get togethers? If yes, here’s your recipe. If not, well…you should. This pizza should be your excuse to plan one! Impress everybody with your breakfast skills!

Here’s what you’ll need

Start by browning the meat, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks

Spoon the meat onto the pizza dough

Add a layer of hash browns then pour the egg mixture on top and finish it with a sprinkling of cheese

Top with whatever you like…we went with tomatoes and avocado.
