Check out our recipe video to see all the steps and make it at home! This is one of our all-time favorite breakfast recipes and one of my favorite breakfasts because I can brown the sausage and cook the bacon in advance. I love to serve this for brunch with Fruit Salad, Seven Layer Salad, and Strawberry Mimosas for a complete and satisfying brunch.
Recipe Tips
- Undercook your scrambled eggs by cooking on low and cutting off the heat early. Setting them enough to hold up on the pizza dough is the idea.
- Customize with various veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, jalapenos, or potatoes for more flavor.
- Add a layer of White Gravy under the eggs like pizza sauce for a change of pace.
- The broiler adds a nice touch that the average oven temperature sometimes will not produce. However, broilers are unpredictable, so stay close by and rotate the baking sheet several times.

Working with homemade pizza dough
Stretching pizza dough can sometimes be challenging, but with a few simple tips, anyone can master the task or at least make it presentable. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it in an oiled bowl. Cover and let it warm for about an hour. Gluten is much easier to work with when the dough is warm. Then press and pat your dough out. You can lift one side of the dough, letting it stretch naturally. Place it on the baking sheet, and work the dough out with your hands. If it shrinks back, rework it in a few minutes.
Storage and Reheat
Store leftovers in a storage bag in the fridge for up to 3 days or in a freezer bag frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave at 50% power for 1 – 1 1/2 minutes or until warm. Or in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until warm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Many grocery stores and bakeries sell ready-made pizza dough. If your time is limited, and mine often is, this is a real blessing. You can also use refrigerated pizza crust in the can. Sheet biscuits or crescent rolls work well, too. Or try homemade pizza dough.
I do not recommend preparing this in advance. However, you can cook your bacon and sausage in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
Baked breakfast pizza can be frozen for up to three months by wrapping it in two layers of plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave at reduced power.

Easy Breakfast Pizza Recipe
Ingredients
- pizza dough homemade or store bought
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 large eggs
- kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cool water
- 1 1 /2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/4 cups shredded provolone
- 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
- 6 slices bacon cooked crispy coarsely chopped
- 1/2 lb. bulk pork breakfast sausage browned
- 1/2 red pepper finely diced
- 3 green onions chopped
- salsa optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Oil a 10×15-inch rimmed baking sheet.
- Work your pizza dough around the baking sheet by pressing gently with your fingers and hands. It may take a little time to work the pizza dough out as it tends to pull back from the sides. Once it seems to stay put, use your hands to tuck and push a little of the dough up against the side of the baking sheet creating a crust. Bake in the oven for 7-8 minutes.
- Beat the eggs and water together. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture and cook slowly, rotating them gently with a spatula. Be sure to slightly undercook the eggs as they are cooked again in the oven. Season the eggs with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper Spoon the eggs onto the pizza dough.
- Top the eggs with both kinds of cheese, cooked bacon, cooked sausage, red pepper, and scallions.
- Place back in the oven for 10-12 minutes, turning on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet several times during the broiling process and stay close by, as I have always found broilers somewhat unpredictable.
