Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 Bacon slices
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Diced bell pepper
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk until combined.
In the same skillet, pour in the whisked eggs and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the eggs are softly scrambled. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large round, approximately 12 inches in diameter.
On one half of the dough, layer the scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, shredded mozzarella, diced bell peppers, and chopped green onions, leaving about an inch of border around the edge.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a semi-circle. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal the calzone.
Transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the top with olive oil.
Use a sharp knife to cut 2-3 small slits in the top of the calzone to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake the calzone in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the calzone cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your hearty breakfast calzone!
