Breakfast pizza is a familiar sight in many convenience store delis: dough topped with a scrambled egg mixture, cheese, and meat. It’s an idea that makes perfect sense, and it’s easy to recreate at home. Making it yourself lets you control the grease, use fresher ingredients, and customize toppings to suit your family.

This recipe works great for a weekend breakfast, brunch, or even breakfast for dinner.

Ingredients

1 pizza dough
2 eggs
½ cup milk
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 cup shredded cheddar
½ lb bacon, diced and cooked until crispy
Optional: sausage, ham, or vegetables
Pizza pan or baking sheet

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Roll or stretch the pizza dough into a 12–14 inch round, depending on the size of the dough, and place it on your pizza pan or baking sheet.

Tip: Leave a higher edge on the crust to act as a barrier so the egg mixture doesn’t run over the sides.

3. Spread the shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough.

4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until well blended. Carefully pour the mixture over the cheese-covered dough.

5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and the crispy bacon pieces evenly across the pizza. You can substitute or add other toppings like cooked sausage, ham, or vegetables if you prefer.

6. Bake at 425°F for 15–20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the egg is set.

7. Slice and serve hot. Enjoy!

Note: The egg mixture in this recipe is intended to add flavor and a light custard layer rather than a thick egg bake. Even picky egg-eaters often enjoy this version.

Kid-Friendly Variation: Use toasted English muffins instead of a full pizza dough. Toast the muffins briefly in the oven, then follow the same steps to add cheese, pour a small amount of the egg mixture, and top with cheddar and bacon. Bake until set.
