Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Pizza dough: The base of your pizza, providing a crispy and chewy texture.

Mozzarella cheese: Adds a gooey, melty layer of cheese that complements the other ingredients.

Eggs: Crack them directly onto the pizza for a rich and creamy topping.

Cooked bacon: Adds a smoky, savory flavor to the pizza.

Green onions: Provides a fresh, slightly sharp taste that balances the richness of the other ingredients.

Salt: Enhances the flavors of all the ingredients.

Pepper: Adds a bit of heat and depth to the overall flavor.

When cracking eggs onto the pizza, create small wells in the cheese with the back of a spoon to help keep the eggs from spreading too much. This ensures that the eggs stay in place and cook evenly.

• Allow the breakfast pizza to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation from forming, which can make the crust soggy.

• For short-term storage, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

• To freeze, wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap and then in a layer of aluminum foil. This double wrapping helps prevent freezer burn.

• Place the wrapped slices in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label with the date to keep track of freshness. The breakfast pizza can be frozen for up to 2 months.

• When ready to reheat, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the pizza from the freezer and unwrap it. Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

• Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy. For a quicker option, you can reheat in the microwave on a microwave-safe plate for 1-2 minutes, though the crust may not be as crispy.

• If reheating from the refrigerator, reduce the oven time to 5-10 minutes, or microwave for 30-60 seconds.

• For an extra touch, add fresh green onions or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before serving.

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the leftover breakfast pizza on a baking sheet and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.

• For a quicker method, use a skillet on medium heat. Place the pizza in the skillet and cover it with a lid. Heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.

• If you're in a rush, use the microwave. Place a microwave-safe plate with the pizza in the microwave. Heat on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Note that this method may result in a softer crust.

• For an air fryer, preheat to 350°F (175°C). Place the pizza in the air fryer basket and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.

• Oven: Used to bake the breakfast pizza at the specified temperature until the eggs are set and the crust is golden brown.

• Baking sheet: A flat surface to roll out the pizza dough and bake the pizza on.

• Rolling pin: Helps to evenly roll out the pizza dough to the desired thickness.

• Cheese grater: Used to shred the mozzarella cheese if it is not pre-shredded.

• Knife: Essential for chopping the green onions and crumbling the cooked bacon.

• Cutting board: Provides a safe and clean surface for chopping the green onions and bacon.

• Measuring cups: Used to measure out the shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbled bacon accurately.

• Spatula: Handy for spreading out the toppings evenly over the pizza dough.

• Oven mitts: Protect your hands when placing the pizza in the oven and removing it once it's done.

• Pizza cutter: Used to slice the pizza into serving pieces after it has cooled slightly.

Pre-cook bacon: Cook and crumble the bacon ahead of time to save a few minutes in the morning.

Use pre-shredded cheese: Opt for pre-shredded mozzarella to eliminate the need for grating.

Pre-chop green onions: Chop the green onions the night before and store them in the fridge.

Store-bought dough: Use store-bought pizza dough to skip the dough-making process.

Assemble ahead: Assemble the pizza the night before and store it in the fridge, then bake in the morning.
