Breakfast pizza with bacon and eggs
The most important meal of the day is breakfast and breakfast has to be packed with nutrients and at the same time delicious one.
Talk about breakfast, eggs are a must if you ask me. So a pizza for breakfast according to me has to have eggs in it. To make it interesting and healthy add more toppings like cherry tomato even spinach. Don’t forget crispy bacon, bacon breakfast equates to eggs and bacon for a lot of us.
This breakfast pizza is made using quick pizza dough made in a food processor. The dough itself needs only 5 minutes prep work and about 1 to 2 hours of rising time. You can make pizza dough the night before and pop the dough in refrigerator for slow rising. Next morning your are ready to get on with breakfast pizza.
Ingredients
- 13 ounce pizza dough (homemade or store bought)
- 1 tablespoon corn meal
- 8 ounce fresh Mozzarella cheese thin slices (or 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut into half
- 8 bacon slices, cut into 1 inch pieces fried until golden brown
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt & pepper to season
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Additions and substitutions
You can add any toppings of your choice like spinach, sauteed caramelized onions or sauteed onions and peppers to the pizza.
Instead of whole eggs you can add scrambled eggs to make breakfast pizza.
Mozzarella cheese can be substituted with white cheddar or sharp yellow cheddar cheese.
I prefer to make pizza dough at home. It takes very little prep work to make your own pizza dough. Make dough previous night and let it rise in fridge overnight, next morning you are ready to make breakfast pizza. Or use refrigerated store bought dough or even crescent roll to make pizza.
How to make breakfast pizza with bacon and eggs
Mix olive oil and minced garlic in a bowl. Keep aside.
Make pizza dough at home with just 5 minutes prep work or use store bought refrigerated pizza crust.
Lightly knead dough (homemade) and divide into 4 equal portions. If using store bought, unroll refrigerated pizza.
Sprinkle little cornmeal on baking sheet or pizza stone.
Work on pizza dough by stretching and pulling it to shape it. Prick thoroughly with fork.
Brush olive oil garlic mix.
Bake in pre-heated oven at 450F for about 3-4 minutes or until pizza crust is lightly golden brown.
Add toppings of your choice.
Sprinkle half of shredded mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes halves, and crispy bacon bits on top.
Bake in the oven at 450F for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Remove pizza from oven, sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Crack 2-4 eggs on top of the pizza between the shredded cheese.
Tip: adding little shredded cheese just before you crack open eggs helps make a ‘nest’ for eggs to sit in and the egg don’t slide off.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle half of the green onion.
Bake at 450F for 7 to 9 minutes or until egg white is set and cooked. You can adjust the time depending on how you like your eggs. If you like runny yolk eggs, bake for less time and for fully cooked eggs increase time in the oven.
Garnish with fresh parsley, extra green onions, crushed red pepper flakes. Cut into slices and enjoy!
