Easy Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Introduction

This Easy Breakfast Pizza is a delicious and quick way to start your day with familiar flavors. Featuring a crispy crust topped with fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and melted cheddar jack cheese, it’s perfect for a weekend brunch or a special morning treat.

Ingredients

• 1 (13.8 oz) tube refrigerated pizza crust
• 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
• 8 eggs
• 1/3 cup milk
• 6 pieces of bacon, cooked and chopped
• 2 cups shredded cheddar jack cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Step 2: Unroll the pizza crust into a 15x10x1 inch sheet cake pan. Stretch it to fill the pan and curl up the edges to form a crust.
3. Step 3: Brush the crust with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and prick it all over with a fork to prevent bubbles.
4. Step 4: Bake the crust until lightly browned, about 7 to 8 minutes.
5. Step 5: While the crust bakes, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
6. Step 6: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until soft scrambled.
7. Step 7: Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the pre-baked crust, then sprinkle with the chopped bacon and shredded cheese.
8. Step 8: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add sautéed onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the scrambled eggs before topping the pizza.
• Try swapping cheddar jack cheese for mozzarella or pepper jack for a different cheese experience.
• Use turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon for a leaner or meat-free option.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes or hot sauce over the eggs before baking.

Storage

Store leftover breakfast pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm slices in a skillet over medium heat or in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through to keep the crust crisp.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

You can prepare the crust and scramble the eggs in advance, then assemble and bake the pizza when ready. For best texture, avoid baking until serving time.

What can I use instead of refrigerated pizza crust?

If you prefer, you can use homemade pizza dough or even pre-made biscuit dough, adjusting baking times as needed for doneness and texture.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Pizza Crust

• 1 (13.8 oz) tube Refrigerated Pizza Crust
• 2 tbsp Olive oil (divided)

Egg Mixture

• 8 Eggs
• 1/3 cup Milk
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Toppings

• 6 Pieces of Bacon (cooked and chopped)
• 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking the crust and finishing off the pizza.
2. Prepare the crust: Unroll the refrigerated pizza crust into a 15x10x1 inch sheet cake pan. Stretch the dough to fill the pan evenly and curl up the edges to create a crust edge.
3. Brush and prick the crust: Lightly brush the crust with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and prick it all over with a fork to prevent bubbles from forming as it bakes.
4. Par-bake the crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 7-8 minutes until it is lightly browned but not fully cooked.
5. Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
6. Cook scrambled eggs: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently until soft scrambled, stirring occasionally to achieve fluffy, creamy eggs.
7. Assemble the pizza: Spoon the soft scrambled eggs evenly over the par-baked crust. Sprinkle the cooked and chopped bacon evenly on top, followed by the shredded cheddar jack cheese.
8. Bake to finish: Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

Notes

• You can substitute bacon with sausage or turkey bacon for a different protein option.
• Feel free to add vegetables like diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach for added nutrition and flavor.
• Make sure not to overcook the scrambled eggs initially; they should be slightly undercooked to prevent dryness after baking.
• To save time, cook bacon ahead and store it refrigerated until ready to top the pizza.
• Use a cheese blend or mozzarella if preferred for a different flavor profile.
