Craving pizza for breakfast? This is the ultimate breakfast pizza, made with savory bacon and two kinds of cheese. This Breakfast Pizza starts with the standard pie but adds American staples such as eggs, bacon, and breakfast sausage for a balanced meal that appeals to all palates. Mozzarella and San Marzano DOP tomatoes add the Italian appeal, while sausage, eggs, and bacon do their part to keep things traditional.

How to make Breakfast Pizza

Let’s bring those mesmerizing flavors to our kitchen by baking this delicious breakfast treat. Now you can enjoy the same great combinations of flavors you love in a breakfast pizza. Yes, you heard that right. It’s so simple and super delicious.

Prepare Pizza Sauce

For the pizza sauce, puree tomatoes and half of the bunch of basil, salt, and chili flakes in a standing blender or food processor until smooth. Leave it aside.

Cook Bacon and Sausage

You can't go wrong with bacon and sausage for the best breakfast pizza. This recipe has both. In a skillet, cook diced bacon over medium-high heat until fat is released. Cook bacon in its fat until it begins to crisp around the edges, drain off the grease and transfer the cooked bacon to a bowl. Place sausage in the same pan and cook over medium heat, breaking up with a spoon as it cooks. When cooked through, strain the fat into a bowl. Set aside by stovetop.

Transfer the dough to a Pizza stone or Baking Tray

Sprinkle flour over a clean counter surface. Roll the dough into a circle, then transfer it to a pizza stone or baking tray.

‍

Pizza Assembling: 

Spread tomato sauce over pizza dough. Make sure the tomato sauce is evenly distributed from edge to edge, leaving 1/4 inch uncovered for the crust—spread fresh mozzarella over the sauce. Add crumbled sausage and bacon on top.

Baking

Bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for 7-11 minutes until the cheese starts melting and the crust turns golden. 

Prepare Eggs

While your pizza is in the oven, fry two eggs sunny-side up. In a nonstick pan, heat oil and add eggs. Cook the eggs until their whites are opaque, but the yolks are still soft and runny.

Serve Pizza

Place pizza on a serving platter and top with eggs and basil. Grate parmesan over the entire dish. Serve warm.
