Breakfast Pizza FAQ for Smooth Cooking
While not a low-calorie dish, it provides protein from eggs and bacon, and vegetables like bell peppers offer nutritional benefits. Moderation is key when enjoying this delicious morning treat.
Absolutely! Simply omit the bacon and replace it with vegetarian protein options like tofu scramble, plant-based bacon alternatives, or additional vegetables like spinach and mushrooms.
No worries! You can use store-bought pizza dough, premade pizza crust, or even a large tortilla as a quick substitute. Each option will give a slightly different texture but still taste delicious.
Try adding unique toppings like crumbled goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, or a drizzle of sriracha mayo after baking. These small additions can elevate the flavor profile and make your breakfast pizza stand out.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder across the top for a flavorful base.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and gently scramble until just barely set—they’ll finish cooking in the oven.
Top your dough with shredded cheddar and mozzarella. Evenly spread the soft scrambled eggs over the cheese. Add crispy bacon bits, diced bell peppers, and sliced red onions for color and flavor.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the crust turns golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with chopped green onions and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
Take the pizza out of the oven, slice into wedges, and serve hot. It’s a savory, cheesy, irresistible way to start your day.

Breakfast Pizza Recipe
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Description
Morning magic happens when “breakfast pizza” meets culinary creativity, blending classic comfort with innovative flavors. Crispy crust, savory eggs, and melted cheese create a delightful morning feast you’ll crave again and again.
Ingredients
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- 4 strips bacon, cooked & crumbled (or sausage)
Cheese Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup (120 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
Base and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (or 12-inch flatbread)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup (120 ml) diced bell peppers (optional)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) red onion, diced
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Chopped green onions or fresh parsley
- Hot sauce or salsa (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pizza foundation by stretching the dough onto a clean surface, ensuring an even thickness. Massage olive oil across the entire surface and dust with fragrant garlic powder for an aromatic base.
- Create creamy scrambled eggs by whisking them in a skillet over moderate heat. Gently fold the eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper, until they reach a soft, slightly runny consistency – remembering they will continue cooking in the oven.
- Layer the pizza canvas strategically, spreading a generous blanket of cheddar and mozzarella cheese across the dough. Distribute the delicate scrambled eggs evenly, then artfully arrange crispy bacon pieces, vibrant bell peppers, and sharp red onion slices.
- Transfer the pizza to a preheated oven calibrated at 425F (220C). Allow the pizza to transform for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden, crisp crust and fully melted cheese.
- Remove from the oven and enhance the visual and flavor profile by sprinkling fresh green onions across the surface. Optional: Drizzle hot sauce for an extra kick of heat. Slice into wedges and serve immediately while the pizza radiates warmth and flavor.
Notes
- Customize the dough by using whole wheat or gluten-free pizza crust to accommodate different dietary needs.
- Prep eggs slightly undercooked since they’ll continue cooking in the oven, preventing dry or rubbery texture.
- Use silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy pizza removal.
- Experiment with alternative protein options like turkey bacon, ham, or vegetarian sausage crumbles for diverse flavor profiles and dietary preferences.
