Ingredients
  

  • 1 piece pre-baked 12-inch pizza crust or 1 lb store-bought pizza dough, rolled out
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt divided
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives for garnish

Equipment

  • 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet
  • Medium mixing bowl and whisk
  • 10-inch non-stick skillet
  • Chef's knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a pizza pan or baking sheet. If using fresh dough, roll it out to a 12-inch round on a floured surface, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Par-bake the fresh dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the black pepper until uniform and slightly frothy. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, gently pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center with a spatula, until just set but still slightly moist, about 3-4 minutes. Immediately remove from the skillet to prevent overcooking.
  3. In the same skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt evenly over the pizza crust. Spread the scrambled eggs in an even layer over the crust, leaving a small border for the crust.
  4. Sprinkle the cooked bacon evenly over the eggs. Combine the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, then sprinkle the cheese blend generously over the entire pizza, covering the eggs and bacon.
  5. Bake the pizza on the middle rack for 12-14 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and starting to develop golden spots, and the crust edge is crisp. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with sliced scallions and fresh chives. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes after baking for cleaner slices.
• Avoid overloading with wet toppings like raw tomatoes, as they can make the crust soggy.
• Serve with a side of hot sauce or salsa for dipping.
Food Safety:
• Ensure eggs are cooked to a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
• Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of cooking.
