I am sweets-loving girl through and through, but when it comes to breakfast food I much prefer a savory plate of food. Breakfast food is my favorite type of fare and my favorite meal of the day, even though I don’t eat it every day (I know, I know).
This is a great breakfast to make for guests since it is so easy to prepare. You could even let each guest “build their own” quadrant. This is also a great dinner option for those days when breakfast for dinner sounds yummy.

HOW TO MAKE BREAKFAST PIZZA
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a pizza pan or large baking sheet with parchment paper (spray lightly with cooking spray); set aside.
Flour a work surface and roll the dough into approximately a 14-inch circle (or oval) and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Fold 1 inch of the dough over, all the way around the edges.
STEP 2
Drizzle the olive oil into the center of the dough and using the back of a spoon, spread evenly (including folded-over edges). Top with an even layer of greens, followed by tomatoes, bacon and cheese. Turn up the edges of the dough to create a lip.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
STEP 3
Crack the eggs in four separate quadrants and bake for an additional 9 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Remove from the oven, season with salt and pepper, cut into slices and serve immediately!

RECIPE NOTES: BREAKFAST PIZZA
- I personally love how deliciously the goat cheese pairs with the rest of the ingredients, but feta cheese could easily replace the goat cheese.
- If you have other delicious veggies hanging out in your fridge, feel free to add them, as well! Mushrooms or onions would be great additions.
- If you don’t love eggs cooked over easy, cook them for an additional couple of minutes to create over-medium eggs. Keep an eye on the crust to make sure it doesn’t burn.
- You could even whisk the eggs before adding them to the pizza and pour in an even layer.
Yes, it can! Bake, slice and layer in freezer Ziploc bags. Freeze for up to 3 months.
It is healthier than traditional pizza, but the ingredients you put on the pizza can impact this. As listed in the recipe card below, this breakfast pizza is definitely on the healthier side.
It involves a traditionally made crust using standard pizza dough, with breakfast ingredients added to the top instead of red sauce and cheese.
