Ingredients

1 pre-made pizza crust (12-inch)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large eggs
1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

First, I preheat my oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up. While the oven is heating, I brush the pre-made pizza crust with olive oil and set it aside. In a small skillet over medium heat, I cook the breakfast sausage and bacon until they are crispy and browned, then drain them on a paper towel. Next, I scatter the cooked meats evenly over the prepared pizza crust, followed by the diced bell peppers and red onion. I then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses generously over the toppings.

I carefully crack the eggs onto the pizza, spacing them evenly apart so they will cook into individual sunny-side up spots. I season the entire pizza with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if I want a little heat. I carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is bubbly, and the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Once done, I remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and slicing it into wedges.

Servings and Timing

This recipe yields 4 generous servings and requires about 10 minutes of active prep time and 15 minutes of cook time, for a total of 25 minutes from start to finish.

Variations

For a vegetarian twist on this Sizzling Breakfast Pizza: A Morning Delight Loaded with Flavor!, I simply omit the meat and add sauteed mushrooms, spinach, and artichoke hearts. If I want a spicier kick, I drizzle sriracha or hot honey over the finished pizza. I also love swapping the mozzarella for a smoked gouda or pepper jack cheese for extra depth of flavor. For a gluten-free option, I use a gluten-free pizza crust or even a cauliflower crust. Another fun variation is to replace the pizza crust with a pre-baked flatbread or naan for a quicker preparation.

Storage and Reheating

If I have any leftovers of this Sizzling Breakfast Pizza: A Morning Delight Loaded with Flavor!, I store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I place the slices on a baking sheet in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the crust is crispy again and the cheese is melted. I avoid using the microwave because it makes the crust soggy. The eggs will be fully cooked after reheating, so the texture changes slightly, but the flavor remains wonderful.

FAQs

Can I use a homemade pizza dough for this recipe?

Absolutely! A homemade dough works perfectly for this Sizzling Breakfast Pizza: A Morning Delight Loaded with Flavor!. Just make sure to pre-bake it for 5 to 7 minutes before adding the toppings to prevent a soggy crust. You can find tips on making pizza dough from scratch on Wikipedia’s pizza page.

How do I keep the eggs from overcooking in the oven?

The key is to watch the pizza closely during the last few minutes of baking. I remove it from the oven as soon as the egg whites are set but the yolks are still jiggly. The residual heat will continue to cook them slightly as the pizza rests. For a firmer yolk, bake for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

I recommend assembling the pizza just before baking for the best results. However, you can prep the toppings in advance by cooking the sausage and bacon and chopping the vegetables. Store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to build the pizza. This Sizzling Breakfast Pizza: A Morning Delight Loaded with Flavor! is best enjoyed fresh from the oven.

What can I serve with this breakfast pizza?

This pizza is hearty enough to be a meal on its own, but I love serving it with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad. It also pairs beautifully with a mimosa or a cup of freshly brewed coffee. For a complete brunch spread, try it alongside our fluffy pancakes.

Is this recipe suitable for a crowd?

Yes, it is perfect for a crowd! I simply double or triple the recipe and bake the pizzas on separate baking sheets. You can also cut the pizza into smaller slices for a party appetizer. This Sizzling Breakfast Pizza: A Morning Delight Loaded with Flavor! is always a hit at brunch gatherings.
