Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Olive oil, for brushing
- 1 tablespoon butter
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 6 strips of bacon
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Lightly brush the dough with olive oil to prevent sogginess and bake it in the oven for 6-8 minutes to pre-bake the crust until it just begins to set.
- Cook Bacon: While the crust is pre-baking, cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until they are crispy. Once cooked, drain excess grease and chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare Scrambled Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, and seasoning with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat and cook the eggs gently, stirring continuously until they are just set but still soft and creamy.
- Assemble Pizza: Remove the pre-baked pizza crust from the oven. Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top of the eggs, followed by an even layer of chopped crispy bacon.
- Bake Assembled Pizza: Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust turns a golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the breakfast pizza from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives if desired. Slice and serve warm for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- For a richer egg flavor, use cream instead of milk.
- You can substitute bacon with sausage or ham depending on preference.
- To make the crust crispier, use a pizza stone if available.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or chives add a nice fresh contrast but can be omitted.
- This recipe yields one large breakfast pizza, perfect for a single serving or small shared breakfast.
