👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Grease your baking sheet with olive oil.
Press the pizza dough evenly into the pan, working it up the sides to form a crust.
Bake for 7–8 minutes until lightly set.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

Whisk eggs with water.
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Cook eggs gently, stirring until just set but still soft—they’ll finish cooking in the oven.
Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizza

Spread scrambled eggs over the pre-baked crust.
Sprinkle with provolone and Pepper Jack cheese.
Add bacon, sausage, red pepper, and green onions evenly across the top.

Step 4: Bake

Return pizza to oven and bake for 10–12 minutes.
For the final 1–2 minutes, broil to brown the cheese—watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove when cheese is bubbly and crust is golden.
