Pepperoni Breakfast Pizza
This hearty morning pie combines the comforting flavors of a classic pepperoni pizza with fluffy scrambled eggs. A quick baking mix crust keeps the preparation fast and simple, making it an excellent choice for a busy weekend brunch or a fun family breakfast. The base is layered with rich pizza sauce, savory pepperoni, and a generous handful of melted Italian cheese. Fresh basil ribbons add a bright, aromatic finish to every slice.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups Original Bisquick ® mix
- ⅓ cup hot water
- 8 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup diced pepperoni (from 6-oz package)
- 2 medium green onions, sliced (2 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup pizza sauce (from 8-oz can)
- 1½ cups finely shredded Italian cheese blend (6 oz)
- 1 tablespoon sliced fresh basil leaves, if desired
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 425°F and coat a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray.
- 2Combine the baking mix and hot water in a medium bowl until a soft dough forms. Dust your fingers with a little extra baking mix, then press the dough evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan to create a crust with a raised edge.
- 3Bake the crust for 10 to 15 minutes until it turns golden brown.
- 4Whisk the eggs, milk, and black pepper together in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in the diced pepperoni and sliced green onions. Melt the butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- 5Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the eggs are firm but still moist.
- 6Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the partially baked crust. Spoon the scrambled egg mixture over the sauce and sprinkle the Italian cheese blend on top. Bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the pizza is heated through.
- 7Prepare any alternative toppings you prefer, such as cooked sausage or sliced olives, to use in place of or alongside the pepperoni.
- 8Stack the fresh basil leaves, roll them tightly, and slice them into thin ribbons to garnish the hot pizza right before serving.
