-
Heat the oven to 220°C / 430°F (200°C / 390°F fan). Brush the base with half the oil, set on a tray and bake for 4 minutes.
-
Fry the sausage meat in a pan for 5 minutes, breaking it up. Lift out. Whisk the eggs with the salt and scramble in the same pan for 2 minutes, keeping them soft.
-
Scatter the sausage, egg and pepper over the base and cover with the cheese.
-
Bake for 8 minutes until the cheese is bubbling. Scatter with the spring onions and cut into 8 slices.
What's Going On Here
It is a pizza with a breakfast topping, and it works because the toppings are cooked before they go on. Raw egg on a pizza sets unevenly; scrambled egg added just short of done finishes in the oven and stays soft.
Use a ready-made base, which saves 90 minutes. Brush it with a little oil and bake it plain for 4 minutes first, so the crust crisps and is not soggy under the toppings.
Brown the sausage meat, and scramble the eggs, before you assemble. Everything on top should be nearly cooked because the oven time is short.
Cheese goes on last, so it covers the egg and protects it from drying out. A hot oven, 220°C, melts it in 8 minutes. Cut with scissors, not a knife. The base can be replaced by a large flour tortilla or a split pitta bread, which cuts the cooking time further. Because the toppings are cooked first, the pizza needs only enough oven time to melt the cheese and crisp the edge.
Leftovers, Reheating and Keeping
Keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat slices at 180°C for 8 minutes.
Changing the Recipe
- Out of spring onions? A small regular onion, finely sliced, or a few chives stirred in at the end both cover the job.
