A quick and easy breakfast pizza featuring a crispy crust topped with smoky bacon, runny eggs, and melty cheese. Perfect for weekend brunch or a satisfying morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ball pizza dough (about 10 ounces / 280 grams)
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup (100 grams) shredded mozzarella or mozzarella-cheddar blend
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, a pinch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat for about 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until just crispy but still pliable, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and reserve some bacon fat if desired.
  3. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle or rectangle. Transfer to parchment paper.
  4. Brush the dough edges with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder around the perimeter.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch border.
  6. Tear cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the cheese.
  7. Bake the pizza on the hot pizza stone or baking sheet for 8-10 minutes until crust is golden and cheese melts.
  8. Carefully crack 3 eggs evenly spaced onto the pizza. Return to oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  9. Remove from oven, season eggs with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Sprinkle fresh chives on top.
  10. Slice into 6 pieces and serve immediately while crust is crispy and eggs are warm.

Notes

Preheat the pizza stone for at least 30 minutes for a crispy crust. If crust browns too fast before eggs cook, tent loosely with foil. Crack eggs into a small bowl before adding to pizza to avoid shells. For leftovers, reheat in oven at 375°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving to keep crust crunchy.
