Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

3 large eggs

1 cup Hatch green chilies, roasted and diced (fresh or canned)

1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (optional)

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) so it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your pizza.

    Prepare the Pizza Base: If you’re making a homemade crust, roll it out to your preferred thickness. Transfer the crust onto a lightly greased baking sheet or pizza stone. For store-bought crusts, follow the instructions provided on the packaging for preparation.

      Create the Cheese Layer: Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese across the surface of the pizza crust. This layer will serve as a delightful base for your toppings.

        Add the Toppings: Next, layer the shredded cheddar cheese over the mozzarella. Scatter the diced Hatch green chilies across the cheese layer, followed by the crumbled breakfast sausage (if using) and the diced red onion. Ensure everything is evenly spread out for balanced flavor in every bite.

          Prepare the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is uniform. Make small wells in the toppings with the back of a spoon, and carefully crack an egg into each well, ensuring the yolks remain intact.

            Bake the Pizza: Drizzle a light amount of olive oil over the top of the pizza to enhance its flavor and encourage a delightful golden brown crust. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake it for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the egg whites are fully set.

              Garnish: After removing the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few moments. Top with the freshly chopped cilantro to add color and a refreshing taste.

                Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve warm. For those who enjoy an extra kick, provide additional Hatch chilies or hot sauce on the side.
