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.

Gingerbread Soufflé = Holiday Magic! These indi Gingerbread Soufflé = Holiday Magic! 

These individual gingerbread soufflés are the PERFECT special holiday dessert! They're fancy enough for dinner parties but my 4-year-old loved them too!

Light, airy, and full of warm gingerbread spices - molasses, ginger, and pumpkin pie spice. The dramatic rise makes them so impressive!

Why you'll LOVE these soufflés:
✨ Impressive presentation (looks SO fancy!)
✨ Warm gingerbread flavor
✨ Light and airy texture
✨ Individual servings (elegant!)
✨ Kid and adult approved
✨ Perfect for holiday entertaining

Here's the magic: beaten egg whites folded gently into a spiced molasses base create that signature airy texture and dramatic rise! The key is greasing AND sugaring your ramekins - the sugar helps the soufflé "climb" up the sides. And whatever you do, DON'T open the oven door early or they'll collapse!

These are SO much easier than you think! Yes, soufflés have a reputation for being tricky, but if you follow a few key rules, you'll nail them.

Pro tips:
🔸 Fold egg whites GENTLY (don't deflate them!)
🔸 Grease AND sugar ramekins well
🔸 Use ramekins with straight sides
🔸 Keep oven door CLOSED while baking
🔸 Serve immediately (they fall as they cool)

The gingerbread flavor is perfect for the holidays - warm spices with molasses create that classic gingerbread taste we all love. They're light enough to serve after a big holiday meal but special enough to wow your guests!

My Favorite Meatloaf Recipe! This is THE meatloa My Favorite Meatloaf Recipe! 

This is THE meatloaf that converted my family! It's lean yet incredibly flavorful, uses ingredients you already have, and is ready in under an hour. Perfect weeknight dinner that everyone loves - even the picky eaters!

Why this is my FAVORITE meatloaf:
✨ Simple ingredients (probably in your pantry!)
✨ Lean ground beef (healthier!)
✨ That sweet & tangy sauce on top
✨ Ready in under an hour
✨ Crispy edges (we bake on a sheet!)
✨ Juicy, never dry

Here's what makes this special: I mince the onions SUPER fine (use a food processor!) so they mix throughout without big chunks, and we bake it on a baking sheet instead of a loaf pan. This gives you those crispy edges everyone fights over! Plus, the sauce on top is sweet, tangy, and absolutely addictive. I always grab the end pieces for extra sauce!

My husband's favorite part? The minced onions that add incredible flavor without feeling like "filler." My favorite part? That sauce! It's made with ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and spices - so good!

Pro tips:
🔸 Mince onions REALLY fine (food processor works!)
🔸 Don't overmix the meat (makes it tough)
🔸 Use meat thermometer (160°F = perfect!)
🔸 Let it rest 10 minutes before slicing
🔸 Serve with mashed potatoes!

This meatloaf has become our weekly dinner rotation staple. It's comfort food that doesn't take all day and uses lean meat so you don't feel guilty about eating it! The leftovers make amazing sandwiches too.

Peach & Goat Cheese Crostini = The ULTIMATE Appeti Peach & Goat Cheese Crostini = The ULTIMATE Appetizer! 

These elegant little bites are SO easy to make but look incredibly fancy! Toasted baguette slices rubbed with garlic, topped with whipped goat cheese, fresh peach slices, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. 

Why you'll LOVE these crostini:
✨ Easy but impressive (looks fancy!)
✨ Sweet + savory perfection
✨ Ready in under 25 minutes
✨ Perfect for entertaining
✨ Can prep components ahead
✨ Good luck eating just one!

Here's the magic: we rub warm toasted bread with a garlic clove instead of adding chopped garlic. The heat absorbs the garlic oils and adds the most subtle, perfect garlic flavor without being overpowering. Don't skip this step - it makes ALL the difference! 

The combination of creamy whipped goat cheese, sweet juicy peaches, fresh basil, and tangy balsamic glaze is absolutely PERFECT. These disappeared so fast at my last party - everyone kept coming back for more!

Pro tips:
🔸 Whip goat cheese with cream cheese for smooth texture
🔸 Rub garlic on WARM toast (key to flavor!)
🔸 Use store-bought balsamic glaze to save time
🔸 Don't assemble until ready to serve (bread gets soggy!)
🔸 Can use frozen peaches when fresh aren't available

These are perfect for holiday parties, summer gatherings, wine nights, or any time you want an elegant appetizer that doesn't require tons of work. Pair with a crisp white wine and you're set for an amazing evening!

This easy homemade turkey noodle soup is the PERFE This easy homemade turkey noodle soup is the PERFECT way to use leftover Thanksgiving turkey! It's light, comforting, loaded with veggies and egg noodles, and ready in just 30-40 minutes. Way better than another turkey sandwich!

Why you'll LOVE this soup:
✨ Uses leftover turkey (or rotisserie chicken!)
✨ Ready in 30-40 minutes
✨ Light but still comforting
✨ Fresh herbs add amazing flavor
✨ Secret ingredient: lemon juice!
✨ Freezes perfectly for up to 6 months

Here's what makes this soup special: fresh herbs (thyme and oregano) add a brightness you can't get from canned soup, and a splash of lemon juice at the end totally transforms it! I was so surprised by how much the lemon brightened up the whole bowl. You'll never make turkey/chicken soup without it again! 

This is the PERFECT post-Thanksgiving recipe - light enough after all that heavy holiday eating, but still cozy and comforting for cold nights. Plus, it uses up those turkey leftovers in the best way possible!

Pro tips:
🔸 Works with chicken too (rotisserie is perfect!)
🔸 Use any pasta noodles you like
🔸 Prep veggies ahead to save 10 minutes
🔸 Add 1-2 cups water if you want it more brothy
🔸 Serve with crusty French bread!

The soup is noodle-heavy as written, but you can easily adjust the broth amount to your preference. I love it loaded with noodles - makes it extra hearty! And don't forget that crusty bread for dunking!

The texture is incredible - soft and fluffy like a pumpkin muffin top but in cookie form. And because the batter is made with real pumpkin puree, they stay moist and delicious for days!
