Description
A crispy, cheesy breakfast pizza recipe topped with scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon. The perfect way to kickstart your morning!
Ingredients
1 pre-made or homemade pizza crust (about 12 inches in diameter)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled
1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Get the oven ready: Set the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
- Prep the Pizza Crust: Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush it lightly with olive oil for extra crispiness.
- Cook the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into a skillet over medium heat, stirring until soft-scrambled (they’ll finish cooking in the oven).
- Assemble the Pizza: Spread the scrambled eggs over the pizza crust. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly across the top.
- Add Toppings: Layer the bacon, bell peppers, and green onions evenly across the pizza.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Garnish and Serve: Take your beautiful breakfast pizza out of the oven, sprinkle it with some fresh parsley, cut it into slices, and dig in!
Notes
The beauty of this breakfast pizza recipe is its versatility. Feel free to get creative with your toppings—swap the bacon for spicy sausage, add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or thyme, or even experiment with a drizzle of hot sauce for a little kick! For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza base for a few minutes before adding the toppings. And if you’re short on time, use store-bought flatbreads as the base for a quick and easy shortcut. This recipe is meant to be flexible, so have fun with it and make it your own!
