Overview: How To Make Breakfast Pizza?

Creating this breakfast stromboli is a fantastic way to start your day! It combines all the best breakfast flavors into one delicious, easy-to-make dish. I start by preheating the oven to 425Â°F and prepping a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

The refrigerated pizza crust is the base, stretched out to fit the pan and brushed with olive oil. This gives it a lovely golden finish. After poking the crust with a fork to prevent puffing, I move on to the filling. Whisking together eggs, salt, pepper, and milk, I cook them until theyâ€™re fluffy.

Then, I layer on sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, shredded Colby jack cheese, and bacon pieces. Rolling it all up is easier than you think! The result is a warm, hearty stromboli that’s perfect for breakfast or brunch. It’s a hit with family and friends and a definite crowd-pleaser. Give it a try, and you’ll see why I love it so much!

Here You Go with Some Important Tips!

Temperature: Bake the pizza at the highest temperature your oven can reach.
Herbs and Garnish: Add fresh herbs and garnish after baking.
Egg Doneness: For harder yolks, bake until the cheese and crust are golden, then turn off the oven and let it sit for another 5 minutes or until the eggs are done to your liking.
Dough Options: You can use store-bought pizza dough instead of homemade.
Individual Servings: Cut the dough into individual portions for fun, personalized pizzas, great for guests or cooking with kids.
Bacon or Sausage: If using bacon or sausage, cook it first in a skillet over medium heat and drain the fat.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the crust up to 24 hours ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. For the best taste, serve the pizza with eggs immediately.

Looking for A Change in This Recipe?

Vegetarian Delight: Swap out the bacon for sautÃ©ed spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers. This not only adds a burst of color but also packs in more nutrients.
Spicy Kick: Add some diced jalapeÃ±os or a drizzle of hot sauce to the scrambled eggs for a spicy twist. You can also sprinkle red pepper flakes over the sausage gravy.
Southwestern Style: Incorporate black beans, corn, and a sprinkle of cumin into the scrambled eggs. Top with a bit of salsa before adding the cheese.
Herb-Infused: Mix finely chopped fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or basil into the scrambled eggs for added flavor and a touch of sophistication.
Gourmet Touch: Use a blend of gourmet cheeses such as GruyÃ¨re, fontina, or goat cheese along with the Colby jack. This adds depth and a unique flavor profile to your pizza.
Smoked Salmon: After baking, top the pizza with smoked salmon slices and a dollop of crÃ¨me fraÃ®che or cream cheese. Add capers and fresh dill for a brunch-worthy treat.
Mediterranean Flair: Add some crumbled feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and black olives to the scrambled eggs. Finish with a sprinkle of oregano.
Loaded Potato: Incorporate small diced and pre-cooked potatoes into the scrambled eggs. Top with cheddar cheese and chives, and serve with a dollop of sour cream.
Sweet and Savory: Add a drizzle of maple syrup over the scrambled eggs and bacon before baking. The sweet and savory combination can be surprisingly delicious.
Tex-Mex: Add chorizo instead of bacon, and top with sliced avocado and a sprinkle of cotija cheese after baking. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

What to Serve with Breakfast Pizza?

How to Store This for Later!

Storage: Store cooled leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven until warmed through. Note that the bacon may lose its crunch.
Toaster Oven: This method helps the pizza dough regain its texture. The microwave can make it completely soft, so it depends on your preference.
Freezing: Freezing is not recommended as the dough and eggs don’t hold up well.

Are Breakfast Pizzas Healthy?

Breakfast pizzas can be healthy depending on how they’re prepared. Opting for whole wheat or cauliflower crust, using lean proteins like turkey sausage or grilled chicken, incorporating plenty of veggies, and using reduced-fat cheese can make them nutritious. However, if loaded with fatty meats and excessive cheese, they may be less healthy. Balance and moderation are key to enjoying a healthy breakfast pizza.

What Is the Difference Between Breakfast Pizza and Regular Pizza?

The main difference between breakfast pizza and regular pizza lies in their toppings and intended mealtime. Breakfast pizza typically features breakfast ingredients like eggs, bacon, sausage, and cheese, making it suitable for morning meals. On the other hand, regular pizza can have a variety of toppings like pepperoni, vegetables, and different cheeses, and it’s commonly enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
