Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 68 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup cooked beef sausage crumbles or beef bacon pieces
  • 1/2 cup mild tomato sauce
  • Optional: sautéed diced onions
  • Optional: bell peppers (any color)
  • Optional: sliced mushrooms
  • Optional: fresh spinach (wilted)
  • Optional: salt, to taste
  • Optional: black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder, to taste
  • Optional: onion powder, to taste
  • Optional: dried oregano or Italian seasoning, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Take your thawed shredded hash browns and squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the dried hash browns with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Press the seasoned hash browns into a single layer across the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish or a 12-inch round pizza pan, extending slightly up the sides.
  5. Bake the hash brown crust for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and firm. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  6. While the crust is pre-baking, cook your beef sausage or beef bacon until crispy and crumble it. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  7. If using vegetables, sauté them until tender-crisp and set aside.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  9. Once the hash brown crust is pre-baked, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over it.
  10. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese blend evenly over the sauce.
  11. Distribute the cooked beef sausage crumbles and any sautéed vegetables over the cheese layer.
  12. Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over all the toppings.
  13. Sprinkle the remaining half of the shredded cheese over the egg mixture.
  14. Return the assembled breakfast pizza to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  15. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  16. Garnish with fresh chopped chives or parsley if desired.
  17. Slice into squares or wedges and serve hot.
