What Is Breakfast Pizza?

Breakfast pizza is exactly what it sounds like: your favorite breakfast ingredients served on top of a pizza crust instead of in a skillet or sandwich. Think fluffy scrambled eggs, melted cheese, crispy bacon or sausage, and even veggies — all layered on a golden, baked crust. It’s like a full diner breakfast, served pizza-style.

Not only is it fun to eat, but it’s also endlessly customizable, making it great for picky eaters and adventurous foodies alike.

Ingredients

Here’s a classic version of a breakfast pizza, but feel free to customize it to your taste.

• 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)

• 6 large eggs

• ¼ cup milk

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (or substitute breakfast sausage)

• ½ cup chopped bell peppers (optional)

• ¼ cup chopped green onions

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (optional, to brush the crust)

Optional Add-Ins: Spinach, mushrooms, hash browns, hot sauce, or even a drizzle of sausage gravy.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place your pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.

2. Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until just set. (They'll finish cooking in the oven.)

3. Assemble the pizza:

   • Brush the crust lightly with olive oil or melted butter for added flavor.

   • Evenly spread the scrambled eggs over the crust.

   • Sprinkle the cheeses over the eggs, followed by the crumbled bacon and chopped vegetables.

   • Finish with a scattering of green onions.

4. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

5. Slice and serve warm. Garnish with fresh herbs, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
