Recipe Introduction
"While some folks like cold pizza for breakfast, I prefer mine piping hot. Here's a version that's guaranteed to get you going in the morning. This one starts with a crust made from frozen hash brown potatoes. I like an 'everything' breakfast pizza—bacon, scrambled eggs, Cheddar, red bell pepper, and scallions."
List of Ingredients
â—¦ Vegetable oil spray
Crust:
â—¦ 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
â—¦ â…“ cup minced onion
â—¦ 1 large egg, beaten
â—¦ 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
â—¦ 1 teaspoon kosher salt
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
â—¦ â…› teaspoon paprika
Topping:
â—¦ 5 large eggs
â—¦ 3 tablespoons whole milk
â—¦ ½ teaspoon kosher salt
â—¦ â…› teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
â—¦ 2 uncooked bacon strips, chopped
â—¦ â…“ cup diced red bell pepper
â—¦ 1 ½ cups (6 ounces) shredded Cheddar
â—¦ 4 links breakfast sausage, cooked and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
â—¦ ¼ cup sliced scallions
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 375° F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with vegetable oil spray.
To make the crust, combine the potatoes, onion, egg, flour, salt, pepper, and paprika in a mixing bowl. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated, then spread them in the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
To make the topping, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Cook the bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon from the fat and drain on paper towels. Remove all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat from the pan. Add the bell pepper and cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until nearly set.
Top the crust with ¾ cup of the Cheddar, followed by the egg-pepper mixture, bacon, and sausage. Sprinkle on the remaining ¾ cup cheese and the scallions. Bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly. Let cool for 3 to 5 minutes.
