Breakfast Pizza with Eggs

There’s nothing quite like waking up to the smell of breakfast pizza with eggs baking in the oven. It’s become our family’s go-to weekend treat – the perfect way to turn ordinary mornings into something special. I’ll never forget the first time I made it for Sunday brunch; my husband took one bite and said “This beats diner food any day!”

The magic happens in just 25 minutes from start to finish. Fresh eggs create a rich, custardy layer that pairs perfectly with melty mozzarella and crispy pizza crust. What I love most is how versatile it is – you can customize it with whatever breakfast favorites you’ve got on hand. Trust me, once you try this breakfast pizza with eggs, you’ll understand why it’s become our most-requested morning meal.

Over the years, I’ve perfected my technique (after a few soggy-crust disasters!). Now I’m sharing all my secrets so you can enjoy golden, fluffy egg pizza that’s sure to become a staple in your home too.

Ingredients for Breakfast Pizza with Eggs

Gathering the right ingredients makes all the difference with breakfast pizza. Here’s what you’ll need for that perfect balance of fluffy eggs and crispy crust:

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough (about 12-14 oz) – I like the fresh dough balls from my local bakery
  • 4 large eggs – room temperature eggs blend better with the milk
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – pre-shredded works, but block cheese melts smoother
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage – see my note below about pre-cooking!
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers – I use a mix of red and green for color
  • 1/4 cup diced onions – yellow onions have the best flavor when baked
  • 1/4 cup milk – whole milk makes the eggs extra creamy
  • 1 tbsp olive oil – for greasing the pan
  • Salt and pepper to taste – I use about 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Here’s where you can make this recipe your own! Turkey sausage works great if you want a lighter option – just cook it first like regular sausage. For gluten-free folks, gluten-free pizza dough bakes up nicely (add 2-3 extra minutes).

Important tip: always pre-cook your sausage before adding it to the pizza! Raw sausage won’t cook through in the short baking time. I usually cook a big batch on Sundays to use all week. If you’re in a rush, pre-cooked bacon or deli ham make fantastic quick substitutes.

Vegetarian? Skip the meat and double up on veggies – mushrooms and spinach are my favorite swaps. The cheese can be dairy-free too, though you might need to bake it a minute less since alternatives melt faster.

How to Make Breakfast Pizza with Eggs

Now for the fun part – let’s turn these simple ingredients into the most amazing breakfast pizza with eggs you’ve ever tasted! I’ve made this dozens of times (sometimes half-asleep on Saturday mornings), so trust me when I say these steps are foolproof.

Preparing the Dough

First, grab your dough and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes – this makes it much easier to work with. Lightly flour your counter and roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Too thin and it’ll get crispy before the eggs cook; too thick and it stays doughy. Rub that olive oil all over your baking sheet – this gives the crust that perfect golden crunch we’re after.

Whisking the Egg Mixture

In your favorite mixing bowl (I use my grandma’s old yellow one), crack those eggs and add the milk. Here’s my secret: whisk like you mean it for a full minute! You want those eggs and milk completely blended with no streaks. The salt and pepper go in now too – I usually give it about 15 more whisks to make sure everything’s evenly distributed.

Assembling and Baking

Pour that beautiful egg mixture right onto your prepared dough – it should cover most of the surface. Now the fun begins! Sprinkle your cooked sausage evenly (no clumps!), then the colorful peppers and onions. Finally, shower it all with that glorious mozzarella – I like to leave a little egg peeking through for visual appeal. Into the preheated oven it goes! At 12 minutes, do the jiggle test – the center should be just set with a slight wobble. If needed, give it another 2-3 minutes until perfectly golden. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing – I know it’s hard to wait, but this keeps the eggs from running everywhere!

Tips for Perfect Breakfast Pizza with Eggs

After making this breakfast pizza with eggs more times than I can count, I’ve learned a few tricks that make all the difference. First, preheat your baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes before adding the dough – this jumpstarts the crust’s crispiness! Second, don’t skip the olive oil on the pan – it creates that golden, slightly crispy bottom we all love.

To avoid a soggy middle, spread your toppings evenly so no area gets overloaded. And here’s my favorite hack: if your eggs start browning too fast, just tent with foil for the last few minutes. These small touches transform good breakfast pizza into absolute perfection!

Serving Suggestions for Breakfast Pizza with Eggs

Oh, the joy of slicing into that golden breakfast pizza with eggs while it’s still warm! I love serving it right on the baking sheet – rustic and inviting. A simple fresh fruit salad cuts through the richness perfectly, while hot sauce on the side lets everyone customize their spice level. For weekend brunches, I’ll sometimes add crispy hash browns or fresh orange juice to make it extra special. Trust me, this pizza disappears fast no matter how you serve it!

Storing and Reheating

Here’s the good news – breakfast pizza with eggs tastes almost as good the next day! Just let it cool completely, then wrap slices tightly in foil or store in an airtight container. They’ll keep beautifully in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to enjoy again, pop them in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes – the toaster oven works great too. Microwaving works in a pinch, but the crust won’t stay crispy. My husband swears cold pizza straight from the fridge makes the best midnight snack!

Nutritional Information

Here’s a quick breakdown of what you’re getting in each delicious slice of breakfast pizza with eggs. Keep in mind these are estimates – your exact numbers will vary based on ingredients (like turkey vs pork sausage or full-fat vs low-fat cheese). But hey, we’re making pizza for breakfast – it’s all about balance!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze breakfast pizza with eggs?
Absolutely! Let it cool completely, then wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap followed by foil. They’ll keep for up to 2 months in the freezer. When you’re ready, reheat frozen slices in a 375°F oven for 12-15 minutes – no thawing needed! The eggs stay surprisingly fluffy this way.

What’s the best way to prevent soggy crust?
My two golden rules: preheat your baking sheet and don’t overload toppings. Also, make sure your cooked sausage and veggies aren’t too wet – pat them dry with paper towels if needed. A little crispy crust makes all the difference!

Can I make breakfast pizza with eggs ahead of time?
You bet! Prep everything the night before – roll out dough, whisk eggs with milk, and have toppings ready in containers. In the morning, just assemble and bake. The dough might need 5 extra minutes if it’s cold from the fridge. Perfect for stress-free brunches!

What other cheeses work besides mozzarella?
Oh, get creative! Cheddar gives a nice sharpness, while pepper jack adds spice. For something fancy, try gruyère – it melts like a dream. Just avoid super soft cheeses like brie that might make the eggs too rich.

How do I know when the eggs are fully cooked?
Look for the edges to be set and the center to have just a slight jiggle – like a perfectly cooked omelet. It’ll keep cooking a bit after coming out of the oven. If in doubt, poke with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with tiny moist crumbs.
