Breakfast Pizza
Start your morning with a slice of savory joy—Breakfast Pizza loaded with eggs, melty cheese, fresh herbs, and sizzling sausage or bacon on a homemade, oven-baked crust. Perfect for family gatherings or a lazy weekend brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or King Arthur whole wheat mix)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
- ½ cup ricotta cheese (whole milk)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella (part-skim or whole milk)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
- 4 large eggs (room temperature, pasture-raised)
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped (or 6 oz breakfast sausage, crumbled)
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced (or green for milder bite)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. If using a pizza stone, preheat it in the oven. Let dough rest at room temp.
- Roll dough into a 12-inch circle, transfer to a peel or lined sheet, brush edges with olive oil.
- Spread ricotta across the dough surface, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, diced pepper, green onions, and chives over the ricotta.
- Tuck bacon or sausage on top, season with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Make wells in the toppings, crack eggs into them, bake for desired yolk consistency.
- Let pizza rest, sprinkle with chives, and serve hot.
Notes
Never skip the dough rest after rolling for a better crust. Balance cheese amounts to avoid a soggy pizza. Fresh herbs off heat keep flavors bright.
