Inspired by a Local Favorite
This recipe is a nod to my favorite meet-up spot, The Breakfast Place in Erie, PA. They serve a crispy, buttery sandwich called the “Must Try,” and I haven’t stopped ordering it since my first bite.

Here's a look at everything:

★ Tips & FAQs ★
Yes! While mozzarella melts beautifully, you can swap in cheddar, pepper jack, or even feta for a different flavor twist.
A ready-made pizza crust is quick and easy, but you can also use homemade dough, flatbread, or even naan for a smaller portion.
Bake the pizza partially before adding the eggs, then return it to the oven just until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Absolutely! Try adding cooked bacon, breakfast sausage, spinach, or mushrooms to make it heartier and customize it to your taste.
