Morning y’all! Austin here from Beyond The Bayou Blog. I’ve got a game-changing breakfast creation to share with you today – A Breakfast Pizza that’s going to revolutionize your morning routine.
I’ll be honest, this recipe came about during one of those weekend mornings when I was seriously craving pizza but also wanted something breakfast-y. Instead of having to pick one or the other, I decided to combine the two into one epic mashup.
After some trial and error (and maybe one kitchen mishap or two), I ended up with this golden beauty. We’re talking about a crispy pizza crust loaded up with scrambled eggs, gooey cheese, crispy bacon or sausage, and any other breakfast goodies your heart desires. It’s the best of both worlds – the savory flavors of pizza combined with classic morning grub.
Not only is it insanely tasty, but it’s stupidly easy to whip up too. Perfect for lazy weekend mornings or whenever you need breakfast in a hurry. Let me show you just how simple it is… For more such hearty breakfast options consider Omelette or Shakshuka.

- Vegetarian Delight: Swap out the bacon for sauteed spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers. This not only adds a burst of color but also packs in more nutrients.
- Spicy Kick: Add some diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to the scrambled eggs for a spicy twist. You can also sprinkle red pepper flakes over the sausage gravy.
- Southwestern Style: Incorporate black beans, corn, and a sprinkle of cumin into the scrambled eggs. Top with a bit of salsa before adding the cheese.
- Herb-Infused: Mix finely chopped fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or basil into the scrambled eggs for added flavor and a touch of sophistication.
- Gourmet Touch: Use a blend of gourmet cheeses such as Gruyere, fontina, or goat cheese along with the Colby jack. This adds depth and a unique flavor profile to your pizza.
- Smoked Salmon: After baking, top the pizza with smoked salmon slices and a dollop of crème frache or cream cheese. Add capers and fresh dill for a brunch-worthy treat.
- Mediterranean Flair: Add some crumbled feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and black olives to the scrambled eggs. Finish with a sprinkle of oregano.
