Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Pizza dough: The base of your pizza, which can be store-bought or homemade.

Eggs: Adds protein and richness to the pizza.

Cheddar cheese: Provides a sharp, tangy flavor that complements the other ingredients.

Mozzarella cheese: Offers a mild, creamy taste and excellent melting properties.

Bacon: Adds a savory, smoky flavor and a bit of crunch.

Green onions: Adds a fresh, mild onion flavor and a pop of color.

Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the pizza.

Pepper: Adds a bit of heat and depth to the flavor profile.

When cracking eggs directly onto the pizza, create small wells in the cheese with the back of a spoon to help keep the eggs in place. This prevents them from spreading too much and ensures they cook evenly.

• pizza dough - Substitute with naan bread: Naan bread provides a similar texture and can be a quick alternative for a ready-made crust.

• pizza dough - Substitute with tortilla: Tortillas can be used for a thinner, crispier base and are a convenient option.

• eggs - Substitute with tofu scramble: Tofu scramble mimics the texture of scrambled eggs and is a great vegan alternative.

• eggs - Substitute with chickpea flour omelette: Chickpea flour can be used to make an omelette-like base that is both vegan and protein-rich.

• cheddar cheese - Substitute with feta cheese: Feta offers a tangy flavor and can be a delicious alternative to cheddar.

• crumbled cooked bacon - Substitute with turkey bacon: Turkey bacon is a leaner option that still provides a similar smoky flavor.

• crumbled cooked bacon - Substitute with tempeh bacon: Tempeh bacon is a plant-based alternative that offers a smoky and savory taste.

• Allow the breakfast pizza to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation from forming, which can make the crust soggy.
• Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps to maintain freshness and prevents freezer burn.
• Place the wrapped slices in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Label the container with the date to keep track of storage time.
• Store the pizza in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, place it in the freezer where it can last up to 2 months.
• To reheat refrigerated slices, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the slices on a baking sheet and heat for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
• For frozen slices, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the frozen slices on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is crispy.
• Alternatively, you can reheat slices in a microwave. Place a slice on a microwave-safe plate and cover it with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.
• For a crispier crust, consider using a toaster oven or an air fryer. Preheat the appliance to 375°F (190°C) and heat the slices for 5-7 minutes.
• Avoid reheating the pizza multiple times, as this can lead to a loss of texture and flavor. Reheat only the amount you plan to eat immediately.

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the leftover breakfast pizza on a baking sheet and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.

• Use a skillet on medium heat. Place a slice of breakfast pizza in the skillet and cover it with a lid. Heat for about 5-7 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure the crust doesn't burn. This method helps keep the crust crispy while warming the toppings.

• Microwave on a microwave-safe plate. Place a damp paper towel over the breakfast pizza slice to prevent it from drying out. Heat on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are warmed through. Note: This method may result in a softer crust.

• Use a toaster oven. Preheat the toaster oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the breakfast pizza slice directly on the rack or on a baking sheet. Heat for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.

• Air fryer method. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the breakfast pizza slice in the air fryer basket and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.

• Oven: Preheats to 425°F (220°C) and bakes the pizza until the eggs are set and the crust is golden brown.

• Baking sheet: Holds the rolled-out pizza dough and ensures even baking.

• Rolling pin: Rolls out the pizza dough to the desired thickness.

• Cheese grater: Shreds the cheddar or mozzarella cheese for even distribution on the pizza.

• Knife: Chops the green onions and can be used to slice the pizza once baked.

• Cutting board: Provides a surface for chopping green onions and crumbling cooked bacon.

• Measuring cups: Measures out the cheese, bacon, and green onions to ensure the right quantities.

• Spatula: Helps to remove the pizza from the baking sheet and can be used to serve slices.

• Mixing bowl: Optional, but can be used to mix the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions before sprinkling them on the pizza.

• Oven mitts: Protects your hands when placing the pizza in the oven and removing it once baked.

• Pizza cutter: Slices the pizza into serving pieces after it has cooled slightly.
