Ingredients You’ll Need

A clear glass bowl on a white marbled surface holds several ingredients arranged in separate sections. There are two bright yellow egg yolks lying on a bed of white shredded cheese that covers most of the bowl’s bottom. To the side, there is a small mound of white soft cheese, topped lightly with a dusting of ground spice or seasoning. Surrounding the egg yolks are more patches of white shredded cheese and a small amount of white crumbly cheese near the edge. The overall look is a mix of creamy whites and yellows with a soft shredded texture and smooth egg yolks. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

These ingredients are simple yet thoughtfully chosen to create a well-balanced and flavorful breakfast pizza. Each adds a unique texture, color, or taste that makes this dish truly special from the crust all the way to the toppings.

Cream cheese: Adds creaminess to the dough and helps bind the almond flour for a soft base.
Mozzarella (2 cups shredded plus 1/2 cup shredded): Provides stringy, melty cheese magic both in the dough and on top.
Eggs (4 total): Two go into the dough for structure and moisture, the other two are cracked on top to bake in place.
Almond flour: A low-carb, gluten-free base that keeps the crust tender but sturdy.
Salt and pepper: Elevate and balance the flavors in every bite.
Bacon (6 strips, cooked): Crispy, smoky strips add a savory punch and texture.
Sausage (1/2 pound, cooked): Adds hearty, seasoned meatiness for a satisfying topping.
Cheddar cheese (1/4 cup shredded): Brings sharpness and color contrast on top of the pizza.
Green onions (2, chopped): Fresh and mild onion flavor brightens the finished dish and adds a pop of green.

How to Make Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan

Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing a cast iron pan thoroughly. This pan will not only shape your pizza but create a beautifully crisp crust for the perfect breakfast canvas.

Step 2: Make the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and 2 cups of shredded mozzarella. For easier mixing, you can microwave this mixture for about one minute until everything is nicely melted and soft. Then, in a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs and stir them into the almond flour with a pinch of salt and pepper until evenly moist. Combine the egg-flour mixture with the cheese blend, kneading it gently by hand until a cohesive dough forms. This dough is surprisingly easy to work with and will set the stage for everything that comes next.

Step 3: Press and Bake the Crust

Press the dough evenly into your prepared cast iron skillet to form a pizza crust. Bake it in the oven for 10 minutes to firm up the base and start creating that golden, slightly crispy edge that will hold the toppings beautifully.

Step 4: Add Toppings and Bake Again

Remove the skillet from the oven and crack two eggs evenly over the partially cooked crust. Scatter your cooked bacon and sausage over the top, then sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Pop the skillet back into the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the eggs have set completely and the cheese is bubbly and golden. This second bake melds all flavors into a delicious, hearty breakfast pizza that’s as fun to make as it is to eat.

Garnishes

The best finishing touch for this breakfast pizza is a sprinkle of fresh green onions. Their mild sharpness adds brightness and a hint of crunch, providing a beautiful contrast to the rich and savory pizza.

Side Dishes

Serve with light sides like fresh fruit salad or a simple arugula salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette to balance the richness of the pizza. Crispy hash browns or roasted potatoes also make excellent companions if you want to keep the meal hearty.

Creative Ways to Present

Cut this breakfast pizza into small squares or wedges and serve on a wooden board for a casual brunch vibe. You could also assemble mini breakfast pizzas on English muffins using the same dough if you want to customize toppings for each guest while keeping it fun and interactive.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will actually deepen overnight, making your second slice just as enjoyable as the first.

Freezing

This Breakfast Pizza Recipe freezes beautifully. After baking, cool completely and wrap tightly in foil or place in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to one month. When ready, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheating

Reheat your leftover breakfast pizza in a conventional oven or toaster oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes to keep the crust crisp and the toppings fresh. Avoid microwaving as it can make the crust soggy.

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour for the crust?

Yes, you can substitute regular all-purpose flour if you prefer. Just keep in mind the texture will be different and slightly less tender than with almond flour.

What if I don’t eat meat? Can I make a vegetarian version?

Absolutely! Swap out the bacon and sausage for vegetables like sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers to keep it fresh and meatless.

Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the dough a day in advance and store it wrapped tightly in the refrigerator. Let it come to room temperature before pressing it into the pan and baking.

Is this Breakfast Pizza Recipe gluten-free?

As written, yes! Using almond flour makes the crust naturally gluten-free and perfect for those avoiding gluten in their diets.

How do I achieve the best texture for the eggs on top?

Baking the eggs on the pizza in the oven allows them to set gently without overcooking, leaving a creamy yolk with just enough firmness. Keep an eye on the time for your preferred doneness.
