Ingredients You'll Need

- 1 tomato, chopped into small pieces - provides freshness and a light acidity that balances the richness of the cheese and bacon.
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped - adds smoky flavor and a satisfying crispy texture.

Equipment Needed
- Pizza baking dish or baking sheet
- Rolling pin
- Knife and cutting board
- Small bowl (optional for cracking eggs)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 500°F (260°C). A hot oven helps the pizza cook quickly while giving the crust a light, crisp texture. - Prepare the baking dish
Lightly coat a pizza baking dish or baking sheet with cooking spray. This helps prevent the dough from sticking while baking. - Roll out the dough
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it into a thin circle or rectangle. Transfer it to the prepared baking dish. - Add the cheese layer
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough. Then add the grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor. - Add bacon and tomatoes
Scatter the chopped bacon and diced tomatoes across the pizza so each slice will have a good balance of toppings. - Add scrambled eggs
Scatter the lightly scrambled eggs evenly across the pizza. - Bake the pizza
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the crust is lightly golden. - Add garnish and serve
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle chopped chives and parsley over the top. - Slice and serve
Let the pizza cool for a minute or two before slicing it into four pieces and serving.
Tips for the Best Breakfast Pizza
Pre-cook the bacon
Cooking the bacon before adding it to the pizza helps keep it crispy instead of soft.
Crack eggs into a small bowl first
This makes it easier to place them on the pizza and prevents shells from falling into the dish.
Roll the dough thin
A thinner crust cooks faster and gives the pizza a better texture.
Watch the eggs closely
Remove the pizza from the oven as soon as the whites are set if you want slightly soft yolks.
Use a hot oven
The high baking temperature helps the crust crisp up while cooking the eggs quickly.
Add extra toppings if desired
Bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, or onions can all be added for extra flavor.
Storing Leftovers
If you have leftover slices, allow them to cool completely before storing them. Place the slices in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
Breakfast pizza can also be frozen if needed. Wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Frozen slices can last for about 1 month.
To reheat, place the slices in a 350°F oven for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. This helps the crust stay crisp. A toaster oven works well, too. While the microwave can be used, it may make the crust softer.
Ingredient Substitutions
This breakfast pizza recipe is flexible, and many ingredients can be adjusted depending on your preferences.
Different meats
Cooked sausage, ham, or turkey bacon can be used instead of bacon.
Cheese options
Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mozzarella blend can be substituted for mozzarella cheese.
Vegetarian version
Simply leave out the bacon and add vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach.
