What This Breakfast Pizza Has Going On

- Easy to make with store-bought dough.
- Customizable with your favorite toppings.
- A hit with kids and adults alike.
- Perfect for brunch gatherings on weekends.
Kitchen Smarts
You can absolutely use store-bought pizza dough — many groceries carry it fresh in the bakery section or in refrigerated tubes near the dairy. The tubes are especially convenient and make shaping easy, though a classic ball of dough gives you that satisfying stretch-and-pull moment (and the kids love helping with it).
Variations and Toppings
- Veggie Version: Skip the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers
- Meat Lover’s Style: Add crumbled sausage or chopped ham.
- Southwest Twist: Add chopped scallions (green onions), some Pepper Jack cheese, and a bit of hot sauce.
Breakfast Pizza: In what world would you (and your kids!) not be happy to see pizza for breakfast? A fun way to start the day.
How to Make Breakfast Pizza
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Stretch or unroll the pizza dough onto the baking sheet. Brush the top lightly with olive oil. Bake the dough for about 8 minutes until it is fairly firm and lightly browned, but not cooked through.
- While the dough is baking, scramble the eggs until partly cooked through.
- Scatter the mostly cooked eggs over the top of the par-baked pizza crust, then scatter over the tomatoes, mozzarella, and bacon. Sprinkle the oregano and Parmesan over all. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10 or so minutes until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is melty.
Yes! Freeze fully baked slices, then reheat in a 350-degree F oven for about 10 minutes.

Easy Breakfast Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough (see Note)
- Olive oil as needed
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs (beaten)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup diced fresh tomato
- 1½ cups shredded fresh mozzarella
- 4 pieces thick cut bacon (crumbled or cut into small pieces)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano)
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives (to serve; optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- Lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Stretch the pizza dough onto the baking sheet until it is a rectangle or circle about 1/2-inch thick. It may spring back as you stretch it. Allow it to rest between gentle pulls until it holds its shape and remains 1/2-inch thick. If you are using a packaged pizza dough, follow the instructions on the packaging. Brush the top lightly with olive oil.
- Bake the dough for about 8 minutes until it is fairly firm, and lightly browned, but not cooked through.
- While the dough is baking, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. In a small bowl, beat the eggs, season with salt and pepper, and scramble them in the pan, stopping when they are still fairly wet. Transfer them to a plate.
- When the dough is partially cooked, scatter the mostly cooked eggs over the top, then scatter over the tomatoes, the mozzarella, and then the bacon. Sprinkle the oregano and Parmesan over all. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10 or so minutes until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is melty. Remove from the oven, let sit for 1 minute, cut into wedges, and serve hot.
