Bacon Breakfast Pizza Recipe
Breakfast pizza? Pizza for breakfast? Now we’re talking! Even though this recipe is simply bacon and eggs piled onto a pizza crust, trust me when I say that this breakfast pizza will earn you major brownie points with anyone you serve it to. Total cool Mom status, right? First, scramble up some eggs until they are just cooked through but still nice and soft. They’ll cook a little more in the oven later, so keep them just a tad on the undercooked side. Add them to some refrigerated pizza dough for easy prep along with “pizza sauce” made with Dijon mustard and mayo, then cover with bacon and shredded cheese. Pop it in the oven, and voila! Easy, cheesy, breakfast pizza magic.
Ingredients for Bacon and Cheddar Breakfast Pizza
This is everything I used to make this bacon and cheddar breakfast pizza. It uses a lot of simple ingredients but is so incredibly delicious! I know your family will love it as much as mine does.
Refrigerated Pizza Crust Dough: Premade to make your life a little easier. I used Pillsbury thin crust! (If you want the freshest flavor possible, though, another great option is this quick and easy homemade pizza dough!) Chopped Bacon: Using precooked bacon is another great way to cut down on time. Eggs: Beaten together to create the scramble. Milk: So your scrambled eggs turn out fluffy and tender! Salt and Pepper: Used to season the eggs. You can also add a dash of seasoning salt or any other spices you prefer! Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Because every good pizza needs tons of gooey, melted cheese, right? I love the melty, savory flavor that cheddar adds, but you can also swap this out for other cheeses like monterey, colby, or pepper jack. Mayonnaise and Dijon Mustard: Mixed together to create a creamy and tangy “pizza sauce.” Chopped Green Onions: For a garnish on top! These add a hint of delicious onion flavor that brings the dish together.

Different Sauces: Try alfredo sauce instead or use hollandaise sauce for an eggs benedict inspired pizza! More Toppings: If it works in an omelet, you can use it for your breakfast pizza. Try crumbled sausage, ham, chopped avocados, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or spinach. Finishing Touches: Want a little heat? Add a a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce! Cholula is my family’s go-to.
In the Refrigerator: Wrap pan tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. It will stay good for up to 3 days. In the Freezer: In an airtight container or freezer bag, your bacon and cheddar breakfast pizza will last for a month or two. Thaw overnight in the fridge before you reheat it. To Reheat: Pop a slice in the microwave for a minute or two, or warm in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the best method if you want to keep the crust crispy.
