Loaded Sausage and Egg Pizza

This loaded sausage and egg pizza is the perfect way to start your day or enjoy as a quick and easy lunch or dinner. The combination of savory sausage, colorful bell peppers, and fluffy eggs is sure to please everyone at the table.

The origins of this recipe can be traced back to a small town in the Midwest. A local diner owner was looking for a way to use up leftover sausage and eggs from the weekend breakfast rush. He decided to combine them with some pizza dough and mozzarella cheese, and the result was an instant hit. The pizza quickly became a favorite among the locals, and it wasn't long before the recipe spread to other parts of the country.

• The air fryer cooks the pizza quickly and evenly, resulting in a crispy crust and melted cheese.
