Description

A quick and easy breakfast pizza featuring a crispy crust, smoky bacon, runny eggs, and melted cheese, perfect for weekend brunch or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

1 ball pizza dough (about 12 oz / 340 g), store-bought or homemade
3 large eggs, room temperature
6 strips thick-cut bacon (applewood smoked recommended)
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 170 g)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 25 g)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
Cook the bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle or rectangle to fit your baking sheet. Transfer the dough onto parchment paper.
Brush the dough with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Season the dough with ½ teaspoon garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper evenly over the surface.
Spread 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Tear or chop the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the cheese.
Slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust starts to turn golden and cheese bubbles.
Carefully crack 3 large eggs onto the pizza, spacing them evenly. Return to the oven and bake for another 6-8 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny.
Sprinkle ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese and chopped chives or green onions over the top. Let the pizza rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Keep an eye on the eggs while baking to achieve desired yolk consistency. If crust browns too quickly, tent with foil. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crust; for dairy-free, substitute vegan cheese and olive oil in dough.
