Scrambled Egg Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Remember last week when I said I wasn’t going to be posting new recipes anytime soon?

Well I’m a big fat hairy liar, minus the extra wooly pounds part.

Hear me out. My treachery was never deliberate, I swear. I even understand your reluctance to trust me, especially since I called myself a trickster, not to be confused with a hipster, although I’m probably that too. I truly had no intentions of creating a new recipe this past weekend, much less sharing it on the blog come Monday. Sometimes life goes awry though and from the chaos, a beautiful Breakfast Pizza is born.

Some people set out to make a recipe with a definitive plan in place. They have a strong idea in mind, a firm approach and the ingredients to back it up. They measure twice and cut once, and I have no idea where I’m going with this analogy or how carpentry even got into our little food equation.

The point is this recipe did not come about as a result of a deliberate plan. It really developed when I opened my fridge and suddenly discovered my egg hoard had gotten out of control. Again. Ironically enough, I made a breakfast pizza that last time too. 

Hoarding food, especially a particular ingredient is a lovely little side effect of being a willing participant in a CSA. I also have mountains of apples on my counters and a shitton of squash stashed away in my basement. It’s a thing.  

Eggs Galore

Another thing is I imbibed in a few too many beers on Saturday night and maybe even some kind of shot named after the state of Washington, which also involved an apple. Look at that, I drink seasonally too. Now that’s pure dedication, although I did turn down the fireball because I’m too old for that crap, even if there is a catchy song about it now. It’s like the modern-day One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer with a Latino vibe. George Thorogood was ahead of his time or maybe Pitbull is regressing. Either way, I don’t do fireball.    

I do however do pizza, especially after a night of consumption. In fact, I go to bed craving it, and I wake up wanting it even more. I’m pretty sure everybody does. It’s in our DNA. I’m almost certain I read somewhere it’s part of our thirty-fifth chromosome. Yes, that sounds right and completely factual. You should always believe everything you read on the internet too, even more so when it comes out of my mouth.

This Scrambled Egg Breakfast Pizza is Pitbull meets George Thorogood, or in other words, the perfect storm of creativity, hoarding and a desire to soak up some of the prior night’s drinking. It was so damn good, I simply had to share.

I used a Cracked Black Pepper Pizza Crust because my grocery story is awesome and carries the most magnificent dough balls, although any kind of dough would suffice. The base of this pie is a blend of ever so slightly sautéed onions, green peppers, garlic and radishes, a marriage made in heaven if you ask me, and then topped with pile upon pile of fluffy, and well seasoned, scrambled eggs. Covered with cheese because, duh, cheese, a few reserved bell peppers pieces, some radish slices and more chives purely for presentation purposes, this Breakfast Pizza is something you’re going to want in your mouth.

Even better than the magnificence of this pie, is the fact it uses a dozen eggs. Yes, a dozen eggs. It’s go big or go home around these parts or I really needed to put a significant dent in my stockpile. Whatever the reason, this comes together quickly and is enough to feed a small army, which means this makes the perfect post Thanksgiving breakfast, especially if you still have a lot of mouths lingering around, wanting to be fed yet again. That Thanksgiving crowd can be greedy. You give them one huge meal and then suddenly they want another. Go forth and feed them this Scrambled Egg Breakfast Pizza. They will call you a culinary wizard. They might even try to give you a shot of fireball.

Ingredients
  1. 1 Pizza Dough Ball
  2. 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
  3. 1 Bell Pepper, diced (approximately 1 cup), divided.
  4. 1/2 Onion, diced (approximately 1 cup)
  5. 2 cloves Garlic, diced
  6. 2 Radishes, divided: 1 diced and 1 sliced into thin circles for presentation purposes.
  7. 12 eggs
  8. 1/2 cup Milk of choice. I used Almond Milk.
  9. 1/4 tsp. Salt
  10. 1/4 tsp. Pepper
  11. 1/4 tsp. Onion Powder
  12. 1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
  13. 3 tsps. Chives, divided
  14. 1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese, divided
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 (or according to your pizza dough directions).
  2. Stretch out your pizza dough into desired shape and cook dough all by itself for half of the cooking time. I cooked mine solo for seven minutes before adding any toppings.
  3. While the pizza dough is cooking, heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for a few minutes, until they turn translucent. Add diced garlic, one radish, and your bell pepper, all but 1 tablespoon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and let cook for a few more minutes, until vegetables begin to soften. Spread vegetables over your half-cooked pizza dough, covering the entire pie. Set your skillet aside, as we will be using it for the scrambled eggs.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat eggs, milk and seasonings until fluffy. Add 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
  5. Add egg mixture to nonstick skillet, which should have remnants of the olive oil, so there's no need to grease it. Cook eggs over low heat, turning occasionally, until eggs are soft set. No need to cook them all the way through here as your oven will do the rest. Let it work for you.
  6. Pour softened eggs on top of your pizza dough with veggie mixture. Top with remaining half cup of cheese, reserved green pepper, radish slices and another teaspoon of chives.
  7. Cook pizza in the oven for another 7 to 10 minutes, once the top begins to brown.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool for 3 minutes before digging in.

I’m sharing a processing picture because Kirsten does it all the time, and I really like the idea. She also happens to be the Queen of Pizza so it’s fitting for this post. Also, I clearly need to rake. ‘Eh, it’ll happen, most likely come Spring.

      You’re right. I didn’t even think about the kids, but it’s definitely a fun way to eat your scrambled eggs. Plus you can sneak some veggies in there and they’ll be none the wiser. Then again, maybe your kids love veggies. Either way, enjoy!

    Clearly we are on the same wavelength today with the cheesy eggy goodness! Love the sound of this breakfast pizza but I do disagree with one point- eggs on pizza is anything but weird, at least around here. Runny eggs make for some excellent pizza toppers. Great recipe and I’m sure it works perfectly as a hangover cure too…at least if your hangovers are anything like mine :)!

    BF heard me laughing at the computer and asked “is that the clean feet person?” He then decided to read over my shoulder and declared that we’re making this pizza. That makes two of your pizza recipes on my to-eat list… I should really get on that.

    This recipe is the perfect marriage of two of my favourite foods (pizza and eggs, duh). I could have used it this weekend when JZ brought me 15 eggs that had expired that day and told me to do something with them. Isn’t he nice? I ended up making a strata, but next time I have a dozen eggs kicking around and a crowd to feed, this is happening!

    This breakfast pizza is my kind of food! I mean, I eat normal pizza for breakfast sometimes but at least this way it’s not horrible for me haha!
    I think it’s okay to go back on your word if you’re giving something!

    I’m the same with my egg hoarding, I buy them 30 at a time and sometimes I go through them really quickly and other times I don’t so I end up with eggs everywhere! Another thing I seem to hoard is soy sauce, I have at least 3 unopened bottles – I’m not sure why but about once a month I’m in the grocery store and I’m like “hmm I probably need soy sauce and put some in my basket” I never do need it!

      Soy sauce huh? Now that’s an interesting hoard to have. I’ve heard of fancy mustards and salsa hoards, so why not soy sauce. Or maybe we should have all the food hoards. I’ve got a boatload of squash in the basement. That must count for something.

      Wait? What? You don’t like eggs….I don’t even know what to say, other than my heart is broken into tiny little jagged pieces. Excuse me, while I go weep in the corner… but wait, this means more pizza for me. Never mind; we’re all good now.
