A quick and easy breakfast pizza featuring a crispy crust topped with creamy scrambled eggs and melty cheese, perfect for any morning meal or breakfast-for-dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza crust (1012 inches), thin and crispy recommended
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 slices cooked bacon or sausage, chopped (optional)
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers or tomatoes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for brushing crust)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it on the middle rack to heat for about 15 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 2 tablespoons of whole milk or half-and-half until smooth and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let sit without stirring for 20 seconds. Gently stir with a spatula, pushing eggs from edges to center. Cook until mostly set but still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Lightly brush 1 teaspoon olive oil over the pizza crust. Place crust on preheated baking sheet or pizza stone.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella evenly over the crust.
  6. Spoon scrambled eggs evenly over the cheese. If using, scatter cooked bacon or sausage and diced vegetables over the eggs.
  7. Bake the pizza for 8-12 minutes until crust is golden and crispy and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped chives or parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Slice into 6-8 pieces and serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

Cook eggs gently on low heat for soft, creamy texture. Preheat baking surface to ensure crispy crust. Let scrambled eggs cool slightly before topping to avoid sogginess. Use room-temperature eggs for even cooking. For gluten-free, use cauliflower or gluten-free crust. For dairy-free, substitute plant-based cheese and milk.
