Why I Love This Recipe
There’s something deeply comforting about pizza for breakfast, especially when it’s topped with sunny eggs and smoky bacon. It’s savory, hearty, and customizable—and it comes together in just 20 minutes.
Plus, it’s flexible. Want to add sausage? Go for it. Prefer spinach and feta? Swap it in. But this classic combo of bacon, cheddar, eggs, and tomato hits all the right notes.
Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Ingredient Swaps and Notes
- Crust: Use naan, pita, or even a tortilla for a quick single-serve version.
- Cheese: Mozzarella or pepper jack work well too.
- Bacon: Try breakfast sausage, prosciutto, or veggie bacon for variety.
- Tomato: Add diced bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for a veggie boost.
- Eggs: Crack directly on top for whole yolks or scramble first for a different texture.
Instructions
1. Preheat
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prep the Crust
Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush with olive oil to help it crisp and brown.
3. Add the Toppings
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly across the crust. Add shredded cheddar cheese and diced tomatoes.
4. Crack the Eggs
Carefully crack each egg directly onto the pizza. Space them out so each slice gets some eggy goodness.
5. Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the eggs are cooked to your liking. For firm yolks, go closer to 15 minutes; for runnier centers, check around 12 minutes.
6. Serve
Slice and serve hot. Add a sprinkle of chives or hot sauce for a little extra flair.
Tips for Success
- Crack eggs into a small bowl first to avoid shells and control placement.
- Keep it thin: Don’t overload the crust or it may get soggy—less is more.
- Want crispier bacon? Bake it separately and add it after the pizza comes out of the oven.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
