What Is Breakfast Pizza?
Picture your ideal plate of breakfast- What’s on it? Mine is loaded with tomatoes, lots of bacon, and a sunny side up egg with the yolk still nice and runny. That’s how I designed this recipe! Breakfast pizza can be anything you want it to be. These toppings happen to be my favorite, and trust me when I say they’re over-the-top delicious.
How to Make Breakfast Pizza
For this recipe, I used my homemade pizza dough. I’ve been making my own pizza dough now for years and I’ve never looked back! This dough also freezes so well. Take it out of the freezer 6 hours before you plan on using it, and it will thaw out perfectly. Roll the dough to a rough rectangular shape, and lay it onto an oiled cookie sheet. Use your hands to spread it out as much as you can. Now it’s time for the toppings! You’ll notice there’s no sauce used for this pizza. I promise you won’t miss it with all that cheese and those delicious creamy egg yolks! Start with a thin drizzle of olive oil, then add your cheeses, the tomatoes, bacon, and lastly, the eggs. I created little divots in the pizza toppings to hold the eggs in one place while it bakes away.

What Else Can I Put on My Breakfast Pizza?
This breakfast pizza recipe is so simple to make and also very versatile! You can really use any ingredients you want- eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, sausage, caramelized onion, the list goes on and on. The pizza I made is pretty basic! What else screams breakfast more than bacon and eggs? In my opinion, what really takes this from a regular pizza to a breakfast pizza is that egg atop each piece. That’s one ingredient I wouldn’t change if you decide to reinterpret the recipe!
