Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon (optional; use plant-based for vegetarian)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch ovenproof skillet or pizza pan.
  2. Prepare Hash Brown Crust Base In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the thawed and dried hash browns, melted butter, salt, and black pepper until uniformly moistened.
  3. Form Crust Evenly press the hash brown mixture into the prepared pan, creating a cohesive crust with slightly elevated edges for structure.
  4. Bake Hash Brown Crust Bake the hash brown crust in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it achieves a golden-brown hue and a crisp texture.
  5. Add Toppings Carefully remove the baked crust from the oven. Distribute the shredded cheddar cheese uniformly over the crust. If using, add the crumbled sausage or bacon, followed by the diced bell pepper and chopped green onions.
  6. Create Wells for Eggs Using the back of a spoon, gently create four shallow depressions in the layer of toppings, ensuring they are large enough to hold an egg.
  7. Add Eggs Carefully crack one large egg into each of the prepared wells. Sprinkle the eggs with paprika, salt, and pepper as desired.
  8. Bake Until Eggs are Set Return the skillet or pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred consistency.
  9. Cool and Serve Allow the breakfast pizza to cool for approximately 3 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

  • Use plant-based sausage or bacon for a vegetarian version.
  • Let the pizza cool for 3 minutes before serving to ensure easier slicing.
