We loved this recipe!. I made it with left over pizza dough and only had 4 Oz of dough. I made 2 small pizzas with all of the toppings and one egg on each. It was delish and definitely a keeper!
Is this breakfast of champions? Um, yes. Absolutely yes. My team and I certainly had this all morning as we shot this (with a box of donut as we usually do), and we had tested 4 pizzas so we all took some home.
Breakfast for dinner also works, right? And to make this even easier, there is a step-by-step video posted below. So no excuses, guys. This should make your breakfast table tomorrow morning.

Bacon Breakfast Pizza
This breakfast pizza is made with crispy bacon, eggs, mozzarella cheese, and store-bought pizza dough. Perfect for brunch or weekend company!
Ingredients
- 8 bacon slices, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 ½ tablespoons cornmeal
- 1 pound pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a pizza stone with olive oil.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until just golden but not yet crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain excess fat; transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
- Brush dough with olive oil and garlic. Top with mozzarella, bacon and green onions, leaving 3 (3-inch rounds) for the eggs.
- Place into oven and bake until the edges begin to brown, about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Add eggs, gently cracking the eggs throughout and keeping the yolk intact.
- Place into oven and bake until the egg whites have set and crust is golden brown, an additional 8-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and red pepper flakes, if desired.

Unable to add to Pinterest. This my second request for your help. I am able to save other Pinterest just not yours. I was able to save your items before but not anymore in the last few weeks. I use an iPad.
Dee, I apologize that you are having so much difficulty but I just tested everything on an iPad myself, using Safari, and I was able to Pin this without any hiccups. There is a blue Pin it button on the top of the post and there is also a Pin it button when you click on an image.
This looks sooo yummy! I really need to go out and get some bacon and make this puppy. 🙂
I made something similar not too long ago, but I actually used a bag of fresh shredded hashbrowns as my pizza crust. Gave it even more of a breakfast feel to it! 🙂
Definitely going to try this! Thanks for sharing!
Hello Chungha! Happy Easter to you and your family! Our Grandson, who lives in CA is coming to visit us in SD. He has been learning how to cook and I think we would have fun baking this breakfast pizza together. My question is, can we use 6 eggs instead of 3?
Thank you! Love your recipes!
Yes, absolutely! But I recommend using smaller eggs – medium size may be best to make sure it all fits on the pizza!
Sooo making this over the weekend, Can’t wait!
Would this work with a premade pizza crust? Thanks
Yes, it should be okay but please be mindful of cooking time as the crust may get overcooked.
Looking to make this with premade crust to allow for a quicker cook time! Would I just add the ingredients and cook it for the final 8-10 minutes? Thanks!
This pizza looks amazing! I need it in my life!

Just wondering if you think this could work with scrambled eggs. It looks so yummy except for the eggs – we prefer scrambled. Thoughts?
I love the idea of having scrambled eggs on pizza, Paula! But unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
I’ve made a pizza similar to this and used scrambled eggs. Scramble them first, but leave them under cooked, as they will continue to cook in the oven.
