Pizza, for Breakfast

Published on July 21, 2011 By Emily. Updated on August 8, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Pizza is a frequent meal in our home and I’ve made some pretty good ones since I started seriously cooking almost 3 years ago (including this one).  It’s also no secret that I love eggs.  This pizza is the best of both worlds and, as a result, one of my new favorites.  I was inspired by a Smitten Kitchen recipe, but used my usual pizza dough and simplified the ingredients list to match what I already had.  Though I’d had breakfast pizzas from restaurants before, I’d never attempting making one and I was thrilled with the way this turned out.  The combination of eggs and two kinds of cheese took it over the edge for me.  Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

If you have your dough prepared (see below!), this recipe is really quick to make.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 10 mins
Total Time 25 mins
Servings 1 pizza

Ingredients
  

For the Whole Wheat Pizza Dough - makes enough for 2 pizzas

  • 2 packages dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 and 1/4 cups warm water 105-115 degrees
  • 2 and 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the Breakfast Pizza

  • 1 pizza dough
  • 2 slices deli ham diced
  • 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 3/4 cup Monterrey jack cheese shredded
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 chives mine were fresh from the garden!, chopped

Instructions
 

If you need to make dough

  • Combine the yeast, honey and warm water in the bowl of your stand mixer.  Let sit for 5 minutes while the yeast does its job.
  • Add the flours, salt and oil to the bowl.  Mix the dough at low speed until well blended (as the dough gets thoroughly mixed, you may need to turn your mixer speed up a bit)
  • Cover the bowl with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 and 1/2 hours, or until doubled.
  • Divide the dough in half - this recipe makes enough for 2 pizzas.

If you’re not making the breakfast pizza:

  • If you’re going to use the dough immediately, roll each half out onto a floured surface until it reaches your desired size and thickness.  This dough makes 2 pizzas about 12 inches in diameter.  Place the dough on a pizza stone sprinkled with cornmeal (or baking sheet) and prick holes in it with a fork; this keeps it from getting too puffy.   Top your pizza and bake it for 8-12 minutes, depending on how crispy you want it.
  • This dough keeps well in the freezer when wrapped in plastic wrap and foil.  It usually defrosts in my fridge in a day or two. 

To make the pizza

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.  If you’re using a pizza stone, put it in the oven to preheat as well.
  • Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface.  When your oven is preheated, fold the dough into quarters. Sprinkle your stone or baking sheet with cornmeal to keep the dough from sticking.  Transfer the dough to your pizza stone or baking sheet and place the center of the dough in the center of the stone.  Unfold and prick with a fork to keep the dough from puffing up when cooked.
  • Top your dough with the cheese and ham.
  • Make sure your pan is on a flat surface and crack each of the eggs onto the dough.  It’s okay if they run a bit or a yolk breaks, it will still taste good.
  • Top the pizza with chives.  Carefully transfer to the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple minutes, slice and enjoy.

    Wow! I would never think of eggs on pizza, but it looks amazing…and for breakfast you can’t lose.

    I need to start making homemade pizza more, and eating restaurant pizza less.

Spring has finally come to the Berkshires! It has Spring has finally come to the Berkshires!
It has been such a joy to finally spend time outside regularly and see everything in bloom.

I bought myself a bike and, after the initial adjustment of learning how to ride again after a nearly 25 year hiatus, it's become one of my favorite ways to experience the outdoors. (None of these photos was taken while riding. I barely stay upright with both hands on the bike.)

Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.
