Description
Homemade breakfast pizza delivers a delightful morning twist on classic Italian fare. Crispy crust, eggs, and savory toppings create a satisfying meal you’ll crave again and again.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices cooked bacon or sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 425°F and lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray for smooth pizza removal.
- Stretch the pizza dough across the prepared baking surface, ensuring an even thin layer that covers the entire sheet.
- Create a thin foundation by gently spreading tomato sauce, leaving a small border around the edges for a crispy crust.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the sauce, creating a smooth, consistent layer that will melt beautifully.
- Distribute crispy, crumbled bacon or sausage evenly across the cheese, providing savory protein throughout the pizza.
- Carefully pour whisked eggs over the meat, allowing them to flow between the toppings and create a cohesive breakfast texture.
- Scatter selected vegetables across the surface, adding color, nutrition, and additional flavor complexity.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and bubbling cheese.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pizza to rest for 3-5 minutes, which helps set the eggs and makes slicing easier.
- Cut into wedges and serve immediately while hot and fresh, capturing the perfect breakfast pizza experience.
Notes
- Customize the pizza dough by using whole wheat or gluten-free options for dietary needs.
- Experiment with different protein toppings like ham, chorizo, or vegetarian alternatives to keep the breakfast exciting.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to make morning assembly quick and effortless, reducing stress during busy mornings.
