How to Make Bacon and Egg Breakfast Pizza

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Lightly grease a 13×9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Crust

1. Unroll the pizza crust onto the prepared pan and press it out to the edges.
2. Pinch the edges of the dough upward to create a crust.
3. Brush the dough with olive oil and prick it all over with a fork. This will help prevent the crust from puffing up too much during baking.
4. Bake the crust for 7-8 minutes, or until it’s lightly browned.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

1. While the crust is baking, whisk together the eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still slightly soft.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake the Pizza

1. Spoon the cooked eggs evenly over the pre-baked pizza crust.
2. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the eggs.
3. Top with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
4. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Serve

1. Remove the breakfast pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting it into squares.
2. Serve warm and enjoy!

How to Serve

This Bacon and Egg Breakfast Pizza is delicious on its own or with:

• Fresh fruit: A side of fresh fruit or a fruit salad adds a refreshing touch.
• Toast or muffins: Serve with toast, English muffins, or muffins for a complete breakfast.
• Yogurt or sour cream: A dollop of yogurt or sour cream adds a creamy and tangy element.
