Ingredient Notes

Scrambled-egg-Breakfast-Pizzas-Barbara-Bakes

Whole Wheat Dough: Provides the hearty, nutty base that holds the heavy breakfast toppings.

Olive Oil: Lightly drizzled on the crust to create the moisture barrier so the eggs do not make the crust soggy.

Scrambled Eggs: These are soft-scrambled to be just as fluffy as you’d expect without being too done.

Cooked Bacon: Cooked crispy and crumbled, topped right over the eggs for a protein boost.

Green Onions: Adds flavor and a pop of color to the breakfast pizza.

Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Provides a smooth, tasty melt.

How to Make Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Pizza

Preheat oven to 450ºF. Put your pizza stone in the oven to heat while the oven is preheating.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each piece into a 6 to 8 inch round depending on how thick you like your crust.
Cook pizza crust on pizza stone until the crust is full cooked and golden brown on the bottom, about 5 – 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle top of crust lightly with olive oil.
Combine the scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon and sliced green onions. Divide the egg mixture between the four pizzas and sprinkle cheese on top.
Return to the oven and bake a few minutes more until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.

Pro Tips for the Best Breakfast Pizza

Two slices of breakfast pizza topped with scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and bits of bacon on a wooden surface. The cheese is stretchy and gooey, with a golden-brown crust.

Use either the pre-made dough of your choice or my own Whole Wheat Dough Recipe.
Soft scramble the eggs, do not fully cook them. The pizza will bake and fully cook the eggs, so just lightly scramble.
For the best texture crust, always heat the stone in the oven while the oven is preheating.
Use a block of cheese that you hand-shred; the pre-shredded cheese does not melt as well as the block of grated cheese.

Variations and Substitutions

Use cooked sausage instead of bacon.
For a vegetarian breakfast pizza, omit the meat and add green peppers and onions.
If you are short on time, swap the pizza dough for an English muffin or pita bread.
Add spice with cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes just before serving.
Use salsa to dip the slices in for additional flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Each ingredient can be prepped in advance and stored in the fridge until you are ready to assemble the pizza.

What is the best cheese for breakfast pizza?

Use shredded cheddar cheese or a mix of sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack for extra flavor. It’s best to freshly grate the cheese before topping the pizza.

Refrigerator
