How to Make Breakfast Pizza with Eggs & Bacon

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Roll out the pizza dough onto a floured surface, then transfer to a baking sheet.
Brush olive oil over the dough.
Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, and chopped bacon evenly over the dough.
Bake the pizza for 4–5 minutes.
Carefully crack eggs onto the pizza, spaced evenly.
Return to the oven for another 5–7 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are still runny.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh chives. Slice and enjoy immediately.

Top Tips

Pre-cook the bacon so it gets nice and crispy without overbaking.
Bake the pizza partially before adding eggs to prevent undercooked whites.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
Let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes for easier stretching.
Use a spoon to create small wells for the eggs to keep them from sliding off.

Recipe Variations

Swap bacon with sausage or ham.
Add baby spinach or sliced tomatoes for a veggie boost.
Use a whole wheat or cauliflower crust.
Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a kick.

How to Store and Reheat

Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven for 5-8 minutes to maintain crispiness.

Allergy Swaps

Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free shredded cheese alternatives made from almond or coconut bases.
Gluten-Free: Substitute with a gluten-free pizza crust or cauliflower crust for a celiac-friendly version.
Egg-Free: Use a vegan egg substitute such as Just Egg or a tofu scramble if avoiding eggs entirely.

Freezing Tips

Freeze Before Baking: Assemble the pizza with cheese and bacon but without the eggs. Freeze on a baking sheet until solid, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Bake directly from frozen at 400°F until hot, then add eggs and bake to finish.
Freeze After Baking: Let the cooked pizza cool completely. Slice and freeze individually wrapped portions. Reheat from frozen in a 375°F oven for 8–10 minutes.
