Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Lightly spray a medium skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium heat. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, chopped tomatoes, crumbled bacon, whipped cream cheese, dried parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the mixture into the preheated skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist (about 3 to 5 minutes).

04

Step

Evenly spread the basil pesto over the pre-baked pizza crust, creating a flavorful base.

05

Step

Carefully layer the cooked egg mixture over the pesto-covered crust, ensuring an even distribution.

06

Step

Generously sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the egg mixture, covering the entire pizza.

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and the pizza is heated through (approximately 10 to 15 minutes).

08

Step

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce before baking.
To make this recipe even quicker, use pre-cooked bacon bits instead of cooking bacon from scratch.
Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking! Some other great additions include sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or diced ham.
