I have never been one to shy away from pizza for breakfast, but usually that just means extracting a cold slice from the leftover box in the fridge. No matter how you slice it (pun intended), pizza for breakfast is good. Real good. But how good would it be if you made a pizza specifically for the morning meal, with all of your favorite breakfast goodies as toppings? (Spoiler alert – it’s great.)

This breakfast pizza uses a sheet pan preparation, so there’s more than enough to go around and pre-made pizza dough so it isn’t any trouble to make. (Which is always nice in those early morning hours.) You just spread the pizza dough out onto a sheet pan, and bake it on its own for a few minutes to give it a little head start.

While it bakes, you whip up some scrambled eggs and crispy bacon, though any of your favorite breakfast foods could work well here. Breakfast sausage, anyone?

There’s no sauce here – it doesn’t need it. You just spread out the scrambled eggs, bacon and some cheese onto the crust and pop it back into the oven just long enough for the cheese to melt. Maybe it’s not quite as easy as pulling a leftover slice from the box, but it’s close. And you get pizza that’s made for breakfast – that beats pancakes any day!
