Breakfast Pizza Bacon Eggs Cheddar

This cheesy bacon breakfast pizza is the ultimate way to bring everyone together in the morning. Crispy bacon adds flavor, melty cheese drapes over fluffy scrambled eggs, and a tender golden crust holds it all—making each slice so comforting. Every time I serve this for brunch or a lazy weekend breakfast, it disappears before I even pour my second cup of coffee.

The first time I made this was for a sleepy Saturday after a late night and it turned into a running family request. There is something about pizza for breakfast that makes everyone smile.

Ingredients

• Pizza dough: Fresh dough makes the base light and chewy Look for a ball that springs back when pressed or make your own for unbeatable flavor
• Large eggs: These provide the creamy scramble Pick eggs with firm whites and bright yolks for best texture
• Butter or oil: This stops the eggs from sticking and adds richness Use real butter for the most flavor
• Shredded cheddar cheese: Offers melty goodness and tang Always shred your own cheese—it melts smoother than pre-shredded
• Bacon: Adds a savory crunch Cook until deep golden but not burned for ideal texture
• Salt and pepper: The basics that wake up all the other flavors Go for freshly ground pepper and flake salt if you can
• Parsley: Brightens the finished pizza Chopped fresh parsley gives a crisp look and light herb note If you use it make sure the leaves are vibrant and unwilted

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Oven

Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and let it preheat fully This ensures a crispy crust

Roll and Pre bake the Crust

Dust your counter with flour then gently roll out your pizza dough into a twelve inch circle or rectangle Transfer to a greased or parchment lined baking sheet and pre bake it for five to seven minutes until it feels dry on top but not browned This step keeps the crust from getting soggy when you add toppings

Scramble the Eggs

Warm a skillet over medium low and melt your butter Add eggs whisked with salt and pepper Stir gently and cook just until the curds hold together but are still glossy Slightly undercooked eggs will finish on the pizza in the oven

Assemble the Pizza

Evenly spread the soft scrambled eggs all over your pre baked crust Top with a generous layer of shredded cheddar and scatter crumbled bacon across every inch Make sure toppings hit the edges for maximum flavor in every bite

Bake

Return the pizza to your oven and bake for ten to twelve minutes Watch for the cheese to turn bubbly and the crust to take on a rich golden color

Finish and Serve

Take the pizza out and let it cool one or two minutes before slicing Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color if you like Serve immediately while hot

Save

One of my favorite things about this pizza is the combination of crisp bacon with gooey cheese My nephew always tries to sneak extra bacon when no one’s looking and it cracks us all up every time

Storage Tips

Let any leftover slices cool fully before storing Stack them with parchment paper between each piece and keep in an airtight container in the fridge They reheat well in a toaster oven or skillet at low heat to keep the crust crispy Avoid the microwave if you can because it can make the crust rubbery

Ingredient Substitutions

Try swapping bacon for cooked breakfast sausage or even smoked ham Veggie fans can use sautéed mushrooms spinach or bell peppers Any melty cheese works if cheddar is not your favorite—mozzarella Monterey Jack or a mix are tasty alternatives If you’re avoiding gluten look for a gluten free pizza dough at your grocery store
