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!

Ingredients
- 1 large pizza crust *(see note)
- 1/2 cup pizza or tomato sauce
- 6 slices cooked bacon chopped
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4-5 eggs
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onion
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Once heated, place the pizza stone or pan in the oven.
- If the crust is still in dough form, roll out the dough. Place the pizza crust on a large piece of parchment paper.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the crust. Top the pizza with the bacon crumbles and mozzarella cheese. Carefully slide the pizza onto the hot pan and bake for 5-8 minutes.
- Remove the pizza from the oven. Crack each egg in a different spot on the pizza.
- Return to the oven to bake for another 8-10 minutes, until the egg whites have set.
- Finish with a sprinkle of chopped chives and a sprinkle of black pepper.
