Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 12-inch skillet or pizza pan with cooking oil or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed and well-drained frozen shredded hash browns with melted unsalted butter, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the hash brown mixture into the greased skillet or pizza pan and press it firmly into an even layer, aiming for about ½-inch thickness.
  4. Bake the crust in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden-brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven and sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the hot crust. Add any optional toppings like sausage, bell peppers, and green onions.
  6. Make four shallow wells in the cheese and toppings using a spoon.
  7. Crack one egg into each well and season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until the eggs are set.
  9. Let the pizza cool for about 3 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
