Bacon and Egg Pizza Recipe
Bacon and eggs are breakfast staples, and it really wouldn’t be a breakfast pizza without them! I like to bake this pizza until the egg whites are just set and the yolks are still yummy. It’s such a fun brunch recipe that’s a real crowd pleaser!
What kind of pizza dough do you need?
The crust of this pizza is totally up to you! Any type will work, including:
- Pre-baked pizza crust
- Pre-made refrigerated pizza dough
- Homemade pizza dough
- Cauliflower pizza crust
- Gluten-free pizza dough.
Just pick your favorite and load it up!
Can You Make It Ahead Of Time?
This pizza only takes about 20 minutes to make, and I prefer to serve it fresh out of the oven. If you have leftovers, you can keep them covered in the fridge for 3 to 4 days and reheat in the oven.
Tips To Make This Recipe
- If you don’t have a pizza stone or pizza pan, you can cook the pizza on a preheated baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Remember, this pizza isn’t just for breakfast! It’s a great addition to your family pizza night!
Shred your own Cheese
If you can, it’s best to shred your own cheese. It melts much better and has a stronger flavor. Pre-shredded does work well, but you might be surprised about the difference shredding your own can make!
