*Chef's Note* You can prepare most of this the night before to make the prep much easier. Make your cheese sauce the night before, pre-cook your bacon and eggs if you like.

Yields8 Servings
Prep Time20 minsCook Time40 minsTotal Time1 hr
 1 Pre-made Pizza Crust (refrigerated)
 ½ lb Bacon
 5 Eggs (Large)
 1 ¼ cups Milk (whole or 2%)
 ½ tsp Kosher Salt
 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
 ¾ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
1

Heat the oven. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 375°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Cheese Sauce
2

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until the butter-flour mixture loses its sheen, about 1 minute. Whisk in 1 cup of the milk and bring to a boil, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Set aside to cool slightly while you make the rest of the toppings.

Eggs & Bacon
3

Cook Bacon in a pan using usual methods or place on a wire rack in a foil lined baking sheet for 20-25 mins (keep and eye on it, it will burn if you don't watch).

Remove from heat transfer to paper towels or brown paper bag to drain.

4

While the Bacon cooks, whisk together the eggs, remaining 1/4 cup of milk, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.

Scramble the eggs until almost cooked through but still moist, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.

Assemble
5

Roll and dock the pizza dough. Roll or stretch the pizza dough out into a 12-inch round. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Use the tines of a fork to "dock" (poke holes in) the pizza dough, working from the middle out to within 1 inch of the edge. This will prevent the dough from getting soggy from the steaming cheese sauce.

6

Sauce the pizza. Spread on the cheese sauce in a thin, even layer as you would pizza sauce. You might not use all the cheese sauce.

7

Top the pizza. Sprinkle the bacon onto the cheese sauce, followed by the scrambled eggs Sprinkle the pizza with the mozzarella cheese, and remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese,

Bake
8

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Bake until the cheese is melted and and the crust is golden-brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

9

Cool and slice. Let the pizza cool for 10 minutes; this gives the cheese sauce time to set and prevent it from oozing out. Transfer to a cutting board, slice, and serve.
