Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it is about 12-14 inches in diameter. If you prefer a crispy crust, make it thinner.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.
Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, leaving a small border around the edges.
Evenly spread the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving space for the eggs you will add later.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the cheese.
Carefully slide the pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet.
Bake the pizza for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to start melting and the crust to begin cooking.
Remove the pizza from the oven and gently crack the eggs onto the pizza, spacing them out evenly. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if using.
Slice the breakfast pizza into portions and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious, homemade breakfast pizza!
