Drummond, Ree (2012-03-27). The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier (Enhanced) (p. 26). HarperCollins ebooks. Kindle Edition.

Ingredients:

1 pound thick-cut peppered bacon

3 cups frozen hash browns

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

Pizza Dough

½ cup salsa, plus more for serving (your favorite store-bought variety)

12 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced

8 large eggs

Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 475°F.

Place the oven rack in the lowest position.

Fry the bacon until chewy, then chop it into bite-size pieces.

Fry the frozen hash browns in a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil until they’re just starting to turn golden brown. Remove from the pan and set them aside on a plate.

In the same skillet, fry the red, green, and yellow bell peppers over medium-high heat in the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for about 5 minutes, or until nice and brown. Set aside.

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Spread salsa all over the surface

Evenly distribute the sliced mozzarella over the top.

Sprinkle on the hash browns…

The fried bell peppers…

And the bacon.

Next comes the fun part! Crack the eggs here and there all over the surface of the pizza. – Honestly, for my family – I will scramble the eggs, because my husband and children do not like runny yellow egg yolks :) Or maybe do boiled egg slices over the top – that would be prettier!!

Finally, sprinkle on salt and pepper to taste.

Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the eggs are set but still slightly soft. Cut into large pieces and serve immediately with extra salsa.

Variations • Substitute finely diced ham for the bacon. • Serve with fresh pico de gallo or sour cream. • Sprinkle the top with chopped cilantro.

Make it a great one!!
