A quick and easy breakfast pizza featuring a crispy crust, fluffy eggs, and savory bacon, perfect for a satisfying weekend morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces (340 grams) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped
  • 1 cup (about 100 grams) shredded cheese (mozzarella and sharp cheddar blend)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sliced cherry tomatoes, red pepper flakes, fresh parsley or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces. Wipe out excess bacon fat, leaving a thin coating in the pan.
  3. Lightly beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until just combined; do not overbeat.
  4. Pour the eggs into the skillet over medium-low heat and gently scramble, stirring slowly until just set but still soft and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle or rectangle and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
  6. Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  8. Distribute the scrambled eggs in dollops across the cheese layer.
  9. Add chopped bacon evenly over the eggs, then sprinkle sliced green onions and any optional toppings.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  11. Remove from oven, let sit for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

Do not overbeat the eggs to keep them tender and fluffy. Cook eggs gently over medium-low heat. Brush dough with olive oil to crisp the crust and prevent sogginess. Drain bacon well to avoid greasy crust. Preheat oven fully for best results. Optional broil for 1-2 minutes to crisp crust further but watch carefully to avoid burning.
