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.

The ULTIMATE Slow Cooker Short Ribs Recipe 🍷🥩

These are hands down the most tender, fall-off-the-bone short ribs you'll ever make! The secret? A rich red wine gravy that transforms these beef ribs into pure melt-in-your-mouth magic.

I'm not exaggerating when I say these are more tender than any smoked brisket I've had. The bone literally falls out after cooking, and you won't need a knife - just a fork!

Why you'll LOVE this recipe:
✨ Fork-tender, fall-apart beef
✨ Rich red wine gravy (SO flavorful!)
✨ Made in your slow cooker - minimal effort
✨ Perfect for Sunday dinner or special occasions
✨ Looks impressive but surprisingly easy

The key is searing the ribs first for that gorgeous crust (don't skip this step!), then letting the slow cooker work its magic for 7-8 hours. 

The red wine and beef complement each other beautifully and create the most incredible depth of flavor.

Serve these over fluffy mashed potatoes or hearty pappardelle pasta to soak up all that amazing gravy! Trust me, you'll want every last drop.
