Ingredients
Instructions

- Roll out the pizza dough to fit the pie tin.

- Beat the eggs and pour over the layered ingredients.

Tips & Substitutions
For a crispy crust, consider pre-baking the dough for a few minutes before adding toppings. You can substitute any of the cheeses with your favorites, such as Cheddar or Gouda. If you're looking for a lighter version, try using whole wheat pizza dough or adding more vegetables like bell peppers or spinach. This dish is reminiscent of classic Italian recipes with rich, savory flavors.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty pizza roust with a side salad for a balanced meal, or pair it with a light Italian Goulash for a comforting dinner. A glass of red wine can also enhance the flavors. For a fun twist, consider serving it with a dipping sauce like marinara or ranch to complement the rich cheeses.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. You can also microwave individual slices for a quick option, but be aware that this might make the crust less crispy.
