I decided to throw this Breakfast Meatza Pizza together for Sunday Brunch over the Thanksgiving Weekend. Looking at what it has in it, how could you go wrong regardless of what it looked like as a finished product! I mean bacon, eggs, sausage, avocado, who wouldn't like it! This breakfast pizza was a hit and who says it can only be eaten for breakfast! It tastes just as good the next day for leftovers and is the perfect on the go meal!!!

Quick notes
The yolks will be slightly under cooked. If you prefer runny yolks, reduce the time or add time if you prefer yolks that are cooked all the way through.
Variations
*This could certainly be made with any other ground meat, the sausage is just the perfect breakfast meat!
If you can tolerate cheese, certainly add some to the toppings!
Get creative, there are so many options for toppings!
