Expert Tips

- Prepare Baking Dish – We recommend spraying the baking sheet with cooking spray. This helps to serve and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Spreading Ingredients – Make sure to evenly spread the ingredients over the pizza so every bite is full of all the toppings.
Serving Suggestions
Everything you need for a great breakfast is in this pizza. There really isn’t much need to serve it with anything else. If we are serving it for brunch, sometimes I will serve some mixed greens with it for a simple side salad.
Sometimes, we will serve it with fresh fruit salad, grits or blueberry muffin recipe. Just keep it simple. Do you like hash browns? Try this Cheesy Potato Casserole for an amazing side dish. So good!
