Ingredients:

- 2 to 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (for a rich, melty topping)

- 1 cup diced tomatoes (for a fresh, juicy bite)
- 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced (for a touch of earthiness)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Sausage Layer:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the bulk sausage with 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the sausage. -
Spread the Mixture:
Gently press the sausage and cheese mixture into the bottom of a pie plate or a 9″x9″ casserole dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure the mixture is spread evenly and firmly across the dish. -
Add the Egg Mixture:
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them until well combined. Pour the beaten eggs over the sausage mixture, spreading them evenly to cover the entire surface. -
Top with Cheese:
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the egg and sausage mixture. This will create a delicious, cheesy crust as it bakes. -
Add Vegetables:
Evenly distribute the diced tomatoes and sliced mushrooms over the top of the cheese. This will add a burst of freshness and a hint of earthy flavor to the dish. -
Bake the Pizza:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the “pizza.” It should come out clean when the dish is fully cooked. -
Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. This will make it easier to cut and serve. Enjoy warm!
