Dec 13 Egg Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Overall Rating = 🍕🍕🍕🍕 (4/5)

Pizza for breakfast? Heck yes! This egg breakfast pizza recipe has everything you love about breakfast … on a pizza. Eggs, Proscuitto, Parmesan cheese …. drooling yet? And I won’t tell if you eat it for dinner.

The best part about this breakfast pizza is that it’s protein-packed (thanks to the eggs) and you can dress it up or down, depending on what you’re in the mood for. We made it two times this week to perfect the recipe … and I think I got it just right. It takes about 10-15 minutes total to make, so breakfast (or dinner … or lunch for that matter) can be ready in a flash.

Egg Pizza Breakfast Recipe

Ingredients (makes one serving)

Ready-made flatbread or pizza crust (we used Brooklyn BRED - great choice!)
2 Eggs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
2-3 slices of Proscuitto (optional if you want this pie to be vegetarian)
Minced garlic to garnish
Basil to garnish
Drizzle of olive oil
Arugula topping (optional)

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven according to flatbread instructions (400 degrees in our instance)
Drizzle olive oil on flatbread to your liking
Sprinkle minced garlic on the crust to your liking
While the oven is heating up, cook eggs in a skillet (sunny side up, don’t flip it!)
Once the eggs are cooked enough on one side, use a spatula to place them onto the flatbread, they should still be undercooked
Layer Proscuitto on flatbread
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top
Pop in the oven for 4- 5 minutes
Remove and add basil for the last minute
Garnish with arugula if you desire
Enjoy!

The first time we made this pizza, we tried cooking the eggs entirely on the pizza. Which, if we had a thicker crust might very well work. But when you’re dealing with thin crust, it did not (it was still edible, but the crust was very crispy!). For a softer dough, we figured cooking the eggs quickly for a few minutes would help before topping the breakfast pizza with them so they could cook the rest of the time in the over. And it worked!

If you get a dough that isn’t cooked (like Trader Joe’s pizza dough — which is amazing), I would probably cook the eggs straight on the pizza.

You could also add hot sauce to this pizza for a kick if you’d like. Or to make it sweet, a drizzle of balsamic. There are so many options! The second time we made this egg breakfast pizza recipe, I opted to omit the arugula for a simpler pie and I loved it.
