Ingredients

1 lb pizza dough, room temperature
8 oz breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
6 eggs
2 cups shredded mozzarella
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar
1 bell pepper, diced
2 green onions, sliced

From your pantry: 2 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp red pepper flakes, salt, pepper.

Instructions

Heat the oven to 475°F with a rack in the lower third. Oil a rimmed sheet pan with 1 tbsp olive oil and stretch the dough to fill it; if it springs back, rest 10 minutes and stretch again.
Brown the sausage and pepper in a skillet over medium-high, breaking up the meat, until no pink remains, 6 to 7 minutes.
Brush the dough with the remaining oil and bake alone for 6 minutes, until puffed and just starting to color.
Scatter the mozzarella, cheddar and sausage mixture over, leaving 6 small gaps. Crack an egg into each gap and season the eggs with salt and pepper.
Bake 9 to 12 minutes, until the crust is golden underneath and the egg whites are set. Sprinkle with green onions and pepper flakes and cut into squares.

Tip: Par-baking the crust before adding the eggs keeps the middle from going soggy and means the yolks stay runny by the time the crust is done.
