For those weekend mornings when everyone's up and hungry, this fun and easy breakfast pizza is my go-to. It's got creamy eggs, two types of gooey cheese, and crispy bacon all piled on a crunchy crust. If you want breakfast to feel like something special but don't want to spend all morning cooking, this always hits the mark.
This all started one chaotic Saturday and now my friends ask for it every single time they're over. It's the easiest way to turn any morning into a little party at home.
Tasty Ingredients
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish: These add a pop of color and bright flavor Only add if you've got them but they do make a difference
- Salt and pepper: Boosts all those savory flavors Freshly cracked pepper will give it a little more kick
- Butter: Gets the scrambled eggs rich and creamy Always pick real butter for the best taste
- Shredded cheddar cheese: Sharp and golden A medium or sharp kind melts well and pops with flavor
- Shredded mozzarella cheese: Super melty and stretchy Whole milk mozzarella works especially well
- Bacon: That classic crunch and smoky punch Thicker pieces make it extra tasty
- Milk or cream: Keeps the eggs tender and silky Whole milk or heavy cream packs in extra richness
- Large eggs: The real heart of the pizza Go for eggs with solid shells and bright yolks
- Pizza dough: Pick up premade for speed, but homemade dough gives a cozier feel Check the bakery for the good stuff
Simple Steps
- Finish and Serve:
- Once it comes out of the oven, toss on some chopped chives or parsley Let it sit for a few then slice up and dig right in while it’s still warm
- Final Bake:
- Get the pizza back in the oven Bake eight to ten minutes until the cheese gets bubbly and the crust is deep golden. Take a second to rotate your tray so everything cooks even
- Top the Pizza:
- After your crust's baked, carefully spread scrambled eggs right out to the edges Throw on the mozzarella and cheddar, then dust it all with your bacon pieces
- Scramble the Eggs:
- Crack eggs into a bowl then whisk in some milk, pepper, and salt Melt butter in a nonstick pan, pour in your eggs, and gently stir till they're just barely set Stop before they dry out—the oven will finish the job
- Cook the Bacon:
- Sizzle up your bacon in a skillet on medium till it's extra crisp and deep golden Blot the grease, chop them up, and you're set for topping
- Prepare the Crust:
- Press your pizza dough onto a sheet or stone and spread it so it’s an even layer All over, brush on a bit of olive oil and pop in a really hot oven for six to eight minutes Let those edges puff (but don’t let it brown too much) so the finished pie won’t get soggy

Good Things to Note
- Switch up with any breakfast veggies or meats you love
- Leftovers work for quick meals the next morning
- Stash slices in the freezer and just reheat in a hot oven
The way the cheddar melts into the eggs and makes each bite so creamy is what I look forward to Blame that smell for why we always end up eating the whole thing right out of the kitchen
Keeping It Fresh
Wait till it cools down before wrapping up leftovers. Store sliced pieces tightly in foil or a sealed container in the fridge. It'll stay good for about three days. Want it crispy again? Bake a slice or two in a hot oven and everything will taste fresh and melty
Swap Ideas
You can go for sausage or turkey bacon instead of regular bacon if that's your thing. Any melting cheese will work, so try Swiss or pepper jack for something new. Toss on mushrooms, chopped peppers, or spinach if you want color and extra veggies

Serving Tips
This is perfect for brunch with a fruit bowl or a big salad on the side. If you cut it into strips, it's great for a party snack. Drizzle hot sauce or add a scoop of sour cream and you've got a next-level treat
Fun Background
Breakfast pizza takes the usual pizza idea and gives it a morning twist. Folks have eaten eggs and bread in the morning forever, and each place has its own way of topping it. What I love is there are no rules for what goes on top. That first morning I made this still sticks out as one of the best
Common Recipe Questions
- → Could I swap in a ready-made pizza crust?
Definitely—grab some from the store, roll it out, and go from there. Super simple.
- → What else can I toss on for more flavor?
Throw on some spinach, sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or switch up the cheese for something fun.
- → How do I keep scrambled eggs soft, not dry?
Take eggs off the heat just before they're all the way set. The oven will finish them off perfectly.
- → Can I make this meatless?
Yep! Leave out the bacon and load it up with roasted veggies or some plant-based meats for another twist.
- → Is it okay to reheat any left slices?
For sure. Pop extras in a low oven so the cheese stays gooey and the crust gets crunchy again.
