Breakfast Pizza – Crispy puff pastry is loaded with your breakfast favorites: eggs, two kinds of cheese, and bacon. It’s the best thing to serve the whole family on the weekends or for a special brunch!

Picking up a slice of Breakfast Pizza with bacon eggs and cheese

Christmas is creeping up on us, people! Do you have your menu all planned out! Don’t forget the rolls and dessert – which just happen to be my favorite parts of Christmas Eve dinner 🙂

But hey, don’t spend too much time on dinner that you forget about breakfast! Christmas morning breakfast is a new tradition in my house and I love making a casserole for it every year. Last year, I made this bananas foster french toast casserole and it was a major hit!

This year, however, I’ve got a new breakfast treat in mind – breakfast pizza!

Breakfast pizza has been something I’ve wanted to make ever since I saw it in a breakfast buffet line at a hotel. I just thought it was such a novel, yet simple, idea! Eggs, cheese, and bacon are so amazing sandwiched between any carb you can think of – pancake, waffle, biscuit, English muffin. Why not place it atop some pizza dough?!

Well, I took it up another notch, folks. Instead of using chewy dough for this breakfast pizza, I discovered a recipe that used puff pastry. I mean, how could I turn my back on the flaky, buttery crust option. I thought it would be a much better medium for breakfast pizza.

This recipe is so super simple. But just in case, like always, I’ve got some tips for you guys:

  1. Make sure you keep the pastry as cold as you can when working with it. When it gets too warm, it will be sticky and will loose it’s flakiness when it bakes. If you work fast, you shouldn’t have to worry.
  2. As always, I recommend shredding your own cheese when making a pizza. Freshly shredded cheese melts wayyy better that the bagged stuff because it doesn’t have the anti-caking agent found in the pre-shredded stuff.
  3. If making both pizzas, I recommend splitting the egg mixture into two batches of 5 eggs and 1/4 cup milk. I have a hard time eye-balling how much is half so I don’t like making all of it and attempting the split it between the two pizzas.
  4. To check if the egg is set after it’s been baking, give the baking sheet a little tug and see if the egg jiggles in the center. If it does, it still needs some time.
  5. After the pizza is done, it will need a few minutes to cool before you slice into it. Otherwise, you’ll have a sloppy mess.

Alrighty, there you have it! You’re whole family is gonna go crazy for this breakfast pizza this holiday season. Make sure to keep it in mind for Easter brunch, as well!

Breakfast Pizza

Crispy puff pastry is loaded with your breakfast favorites: eggs, two kinds of cheese, and bacon. It's the best thing to serve the whole family on the weekends or for a special brunch!
Prep Time15 minutes mins
Cook Time25 minutes mins
Total Time45 minutes mins
Servings: 18 slices

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 8 ounces bacon cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grab two large baking sheets and set aside.
  • Grab a sheet of parchment paper and place on the counter. Dust with a little flour. Place one sheet of puff pastry on floured parchment. Roll out an additional inch on each side. Using your finger, brush on water along the edge. Fold the edge over about 1/2 inch. Press down to seal it. Repeat with second sheet of puff pastry.
  • Bake pastry in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until centers are an even golden brown. Remove from oven, but keep oven on. Using the back of a fork, press down on the center of each pastry to flatten it out. But be careful not to pierce through the bottom!
  • Cover shredded cheese over each pastry sheet, splitting it evenly among the two sheets. In a large bowl, add eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Whisk until eggs are well scrambled. Split among the two pastry sheets, pour slowly over the cheese. Crumble the bacon over the top of both pizzas.
  • Bake pizzas in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until egg is not longer jiggling in the center. Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

Peach Raspberry Cobbler – fresh peaches and rasp Peach Raspberry Cobbler – fresh peaches and raspberries topped with a cakey, cinnamon-sugar crust that's so incredible you won't even need ice cream!

Cobblers have stolen my heart, you guys! The first cobbler I ever loved was blackberry, but after tasting this peach raspberry version at a work potluck, it took the top spot! 

The secret? That cinnamon sugar crust! It's not just a topping – it's the STAR of the show! The combination of fresh peaches, tart raspberries, and that cakey, cinnamon-sugar-coated crust is pure summer magic!

Pro tip: Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving so the filling can thicken up and it'll be much easier to scoop!

Perfect for summer gatherings, July 4th parties, potlucks, or anytime you want a Southern dessert with a delicious twist!

Nutella Macarons – delicate French almond cookie Nutella Macarons – delicate French almond cookies filled with chocolate-hazelnut Nutella spread! Classic macarons made with the proper technique learned straight from a pastry chef! 

You guys remember when I made French macarons for the first time and they were a HOT MESS? The tops were cracked and bumpy and looked more like brownies! I was determined to get them right, so I took a macaron baking class in person – and it changed EVERYTHING! 

The trickiest part? Mixing the dry and wet ingredients together. Under mix = too dry and cracked. Over mix = dense and heavy. But now I know exactly what the batter should look like!

Pro tip: Age your egg whites for 24-48 hours before making the meringue – this helps them get to the perfect consistency!

Perfect for Valentine's Day, gift-giving, special occasions, or anytime you want elegant French macarons at home! 🇫🇷

Classic Pot Roast – chuck roast slowly cooked in Classic Pot Roast – chuck roast slowly cooked in a jus made of beef broth, carrots, celery, and onions! Balsamic vinegar, thyme, and mustard give that jus a kick of flavor! 

Cold weather is in full effect, you guys! So comfort food needs to be on the menu! My husband wanted to try a good pot roast, so I used a combination of recipes to come up with the perfect one! 

The secret? Traditional aromatics (carrots, celery, onions) PLUS balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard set this roast apart with a tangy kick!

Pro tip: Sear the roast first to give it beautiful color on the outside – if you skip this step, the meat will look almost gray when cooked in the broth!

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Browned Butter – Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Browned Butter – fluffy pillows of sweet potato dumplings tossed in a sage and browned butter sauce for a comforting pasta dish you didn't know you needed! 

This gnocchi was inspired by a dish I had at a local restaurant years ago, you guys! I was skeptical about sweet potato gnocchi with just butter and sage – no cream? no tomato? But MAN, was I wrong! 

The sweet potato gnocchi is even MORE flavorful than the original! It shines on its own with little help from a heavy sauce – that's why it pairs so perfectly with a light toss in sage and browned butter!

Pro tip: Use a potato ricer to break up the sweet potatoes – don't use a food processor or it will make the gnocchi gummy and pasty! The ricer makes it super fluffy!

Perfect for fall dinners, Thanksgiving, date nights, or anytime you want restaurant-quality comfort food at home!

Sour Cream Doughnuts – dense and crispy on the o Sour Cream Doughnuts – dense and crispy on the outside, moist and cakey on the inside! Your favorite old-fashioned cake doughnuts ready in half the time as yeast doughnuts!

These are also known as old-fashioned doughnuts, you guys! They're bulky, firm on the outside, but oh-so-moist on the inside! The BEST combination of textures – crunchy yet chewy, dense yet moist! 

I fell in love with these at a local bakery, and now my husband surprises me with them from time to time! Do I have a great man or what?!

Pro tip: Don't roll the dough too thin or the doughnuts will turn to hockey pucks when you fry them! You're better off making the dough too thick than too thin!

Perfect for weekend breakfast, Easter morning, brunch, or anytime you want homemade doughnuts without the wait!
