Why This Recipe Works
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 such an easy breakfast pizza 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.
Recipe Ingredients
Pizza dough – Pizza dough from the grocery store works great (found in the freezer aisle!) or consider making your own batch of homemade dough to create the absolute best pizza crust.
It’s so easy! Another option would be to use a pre-cooked crust such as naan pizza dough. Cook times will vary if you opt for pre-cooked dough.
Tomatoes – Fresh tomatoes are the perfect vegetable to add as a topping, but if you have other delicious veggies hanging out in your fridge, feel free to add them. Mushrooms, green onions or any type of bell pepper would be great additions.
Bacon bits or crumbles – To make this breakfast healthier, omit the bacon altogether or replace with cooked ground turkey. If you aren’t worried about making this a healthy recipe, consider using cooked ground breakfast sausage or turkey sausage.
Goat cheese – I personally love how deliciously the goat cheese pairs with the rest of the ingredients, but feta, cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese are great replacements.
Eggs – 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.
Or add whisked eggs to the pizza in an even layer to create more of a scrambled eggs variety. You could even separate the egg yolks from the egg whites and add just the whites to the pizza.
How to Make Homemade 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 black pepper, cut into slices and serve immediately!
Recipe Notes
- Optional ingredients to throw on the top of the pizzas: cooked hash browns, crushed red pepper flakes, hot sauce, avocado slices, caramelized onion strips or salsa.
- Serve for guests alongside a bowl of fresh fruit or yogurt and granola.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- A different option for serving would be to divide the dough in four equal pieces and bake individually. You could even experiment with cooking them inside a toaster oven!
