Breakfast pizza is a fun and easy-to-make dish that combines breakfast foods on a biscuit crust, topped with meat, cheese, eggs, and Parmesan. It’s a popular dish for brunch or a different breakfast option.
Breakfast pizza is a fun and tasty recipe that combines many favorite breakfast foods into one dish that is cut and sliced the same way as pizza. It’s easy to make and fun to serve at brunches or just for something different at the breakfast table. While modeled after traditional Italian pizza, this morning fare offers a new twist that creates truly American pizza.
As with any type of pizza, the process begins by preparing a crust. The difference is that with a breakfast pizza, the crust is made using the usual ingredients that go into the biscuits. For people who want to take a shortcut, a tube of biscuits from the supermarket’s dairy can be used. Simply combine all of the cookies in the tube into one large lump of dough, lightly flour the surface, and roll the dough into a thin crust. Place the crust in a round baking dish, making sure the dough reaches all the way to the edges.
Then comes the breakfast pizza meat. There are several options for choosing meats. One choice is to crumble and brown the ground sausage which is spread evenly over the crust of the cookie dough. Other people prefer to use fried, crumbled bacon strips. For people who like a lot of meat, use bacon and sausage.
Following the layer of meat comes a layer made up of an abundance of grated cheese. While cheddar is the more traditional option, other types or even blends of different cheeses can be used for this layer. As with the meat layer, make sure the cheese is spread evenly across the surface of the crust.
No breakfast pizza is complete without adding eggs. Beat the eggs with a small amount of milk and season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the meat and cheese, taking care to make sure the egg mixture does not spill onto the lip of the pan. Just before sliding the pizza into the oven, drizzle a small amount of Parmesan on top.
Most recipes for pizza for breakfast call for cooking the dish no more than twenty-five minutes. When the pizza is ready, simply cut the pizza into slices and serve on a plate with a few pieces of mixed fruit. For folks who like to dress up the recipe a bit, adding a little salsa and a dollop of sour cream to each slice will add visual interest and more flavor.
While it’s unlikely anyone would see breakfast pizza made in an Italian-style pizzeria, there are a few large pizza chains that have begun offering the dish for early and mid-morning dinner. Considered more of a meal than the breakfast wraps offered at many fast food restaurants, this morning’s slice of pizza requires you to sit down to your meal and take time to savor all the flavors of the ingredients. As an easy dish to make at home, breakfast pizza is great for weekend mornings or anytime brunch.
