Ingredients
  

  • 1 prepared pizza dough
  • 2 tbsp butter - divided
  • 6 eggs - whisked
  • 1 cup chopped ham
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper (red, green or a mixture) - chopped
  • 1 small onion - chopped
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms - chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4 oz Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese - shredded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425º F.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a large skillet and soft scramble the eggs, just until set as they will cook further in the oven. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
  • Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet and add the bell pepper, onion and mushrooms. Cook for 4 - 6 minutes, until softened. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Stretch the dough onto parchment paper to approximately 14″ x 16″ rectangle.
  • Imagine the dough as three equal parts. Cut the sides of the dough into strips, leaving the middle intact.
  • Spoon the scrambled eggs down the middle section of the dough.
  • Top the eggs with the cooked veggies and then sprinkle with Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese.
  • Crisscross the dough strips over the filling and tuck the ends.
  • Move the braid to a baking sheet and bake in a 425º F oven for 16 - 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Slice and serve.
