Description
Make the perfect Breakfast Pizza with scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon, and veggies. A quick, delicious breakfast for any occasion!
Ingredients
- Pizza Dough: You can use store-bought pizza dough or make your own. Whole wheat dough or cauliflower crust are great options for a healthier base.
- Eggs: Use large eggs to make scrambled eggs for the pizza. You can also use egg whites or egg substitutes for a lighter version.
- Bacon: Cooked and crumbled bacon adds a savory, smoky flavor to the pizza. You can substitute with turkey bacon or sausage for a leaner alternative.
- Cheese: Mozzarella is the classic choice, but feel free to use cheddar, feta, or goat cheese for a unique flavor.
- Vegetables: Spinach, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers make great toppings for added nutrition and flavor.
- Olive Oil: Used to drizzle on the pizza dough before baking for a golden, crispy finish.
- Seasonings: Salt, pepper, and dried oregano to season the eggs and the pizza.
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it heats up.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. If you’re using store-bought dough, follow the instructions on the package for stretching or rolling. If using a pizza stone, place the dough directly on the stone.
- Cook the Bacon: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside to drain on a paper towel. Once cooled, crumble it into small pieces.
- Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until they are soft and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Vegetables: If you’re using vegetables like spinach or mushrooms, sauté them in the skillet until tender. Remove any excess moisture from the spinach by pressing it with a paper towel.
- Assemble the Pizza: Place the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil. Evenly spread the scrambled eggs on top of the dough, then add the cooked vegetables, bacon, and cheese. Sprinkle with oregano or any additional herbs you like.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil, if desired.
