(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare the Pizza Crust: Stretch the pizza crust onto the baking sheet, making sure to reach all sides and corners. Use a fork to poke tiny holes in the dough to prevent it from bubbling while baking. Bake for 8 minutes and set aside (do not turn off the oven).
- Scramble the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half of the cheddar and pepper jack cheese, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic. Scramble the eggs in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until cooked through.
- Assemble the Pizza: Once the crust is partially baked, spread the scrambled eggs evenly over it. Add the crumbled sausage, then top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle with green onions, slice, and serve immediately.
