Easy Breakfast Pizza Recipe
Ingredients
- pizza dough
homemade or store bought
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 large eggs
- kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cool water
- 1 1 /2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/4 cups shredded provolone
- 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
- 6 slices bacon cooked crispy coarsely chopped
- 1/2 lb. bulk pork breakfast sausage browned
- 1/2 red pepper finely diced
- 3 green onions chopped
- salsa
optional
Directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Oil a 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet.
- 2
Work your pizza dough around the baking sheet by pressing gently with your fingers and hands. It may take a little time to work the pizza dough out as it tends to pull back from the sides. Once it seems to stay put, use your hands to tuck and push a little of the dough up against the side of the baking sheet creating a crust. Bake in the oven for 7-8 minutes.

Beat the eggs and water together. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture and cook slowly, rotating them gently with a spatula. Be sure to slightly undercook the eggs as they are cooked again in the oven. Season the eggs with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper Spoon the eggs onto the pizza dough.
- 4
Top the eggs with both kinds of cheese, cooked bacon, cooked sausage, red pepper, and scallions.
- 5
Place back in the oven for 10-12 minutes, turning on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet several times during the broiling process and stay close by, as I have always found broilers somewhat unpredictable.

About this Recipe
Craving a breakfast that breaks free from the everyday scramble? This Easy Breakfast Pizza Recipe transforms your morning meal into an exciting, cheesy, and savory delight that's perfect for sharing.
Why This Recipe Works
This recipe shines by combining classic breakfast favorites onto a crispy pizza crust. You get the best of both worlds: the comforting familiarity of pizza with the hearty, satisfying flavors of bacon, sausage, and eggs. The blend of rich provolone and zesty Pepper Jack cheese creates an incredible melted topping, ensuring every bite is packed with savory goodness and a delightful hint of spice.
What to Expect
You're in for a treat with this fun breakfast pizza. Imagine a golden-brown crust, generously topped with fluffy scrambled eggs, savory browned breakfast sausage, and perfectly crispy bacon. Sweet diced red pepper and fresh green onions add a vibrant burst of flavor and a subtle crunch, all unified by a gooey, irresistible layer of melted provolone and Pepper Jack. The Pepper Jack adds a pleasant warmth that elevates the entire dish, making it hearty and deeply satisfying without being overly heavy.
Customization & Variations
Feel free to make this breakfast pizza your own! You can easily swap out the meats; try diced ham, or even skip the meat for a delicious vegetarian version by adding extra vegetables like mushrooms or spinach. For a different cheese profile, consider adding cheddar or Monterey Jack alongside the provolone. And for those who love an extra kick, a drizzle of salsa is an optional but highly recommended addition that brightens every slice.
Serving & Context
This Easy Breakfast Pizza Recipe is ideal for a lazy weekend brunch, a family gathering, or a fun breakfast-for-dinner night. Serve it hot, straight from the oven, perhaps alongside some fresh fruit or a hot cup of coffee, and watch it disappear.
