Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup breakfast sausage, crumbled and cooked

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

4 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 green onions, sliced

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Optional: Hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to allow it to heat up as well.

    Prepare the Pizza Crust: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pre-made pizza crust to your desired thickness. Aim for a size that fits your pizza stone or baking sheet. If you’re not using a stone, transfer the rolled crust to a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy handling.

      Cook the Sausage: In a medium skillet, heat the tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled breakfast sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. If there's additional fat in the skillet, drain it off and set the sausage aside.

        Mix the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

          Add Sausage and Cheese: Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the prepared pizza crust. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly on top of the sausage layer.

            Pour the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese, ensuring it seeps into all the nooks and crannies for even distribution.

              Top with Tomatoes and Green Onions: Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced green onions over the egg mixture, distributing them evenly for added flavor and color.

                Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. You'll know it’s done when the eggs are set and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish it with fresh basil leaves for a touch of color and flavor, then slice into wedges. Serve warm with optional hot sauce on the side for those who enjoy an extra kick.
