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.

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.

We picked about 9 pounds of strawberries and I'm looking forward to eating them! 🍓

I don't have clear words to express my feelings ab I don't have clear words to express my feelings about the state of the world lately. As a teacher and a mother, it has been extra difficult this week to be fully present in my roles without thinking about innocent lives that should have had longer on Earth. How what has happened in each of the many mass shootings this year can happen anywhere. If you are feeling sad and frustrated too, you are not alone.

I don't have answers, but I'm trying to take care of myself and my biological and school families. I'm saying "I love you" a lot to my children and my students. I'm closely following and sharing the work of @everytown while contacting my state and federal representatives and the president. I'm going for walks and getting fresh air and trying not to overload on news. I'm sharing good resources in my stories as I see them.
UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @aloh UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @alohr3!

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.

The current Voyage to the Deep exhibit, which involves an interactive Nautilus submarine that my 5 year old spent literally hours in.  We also thoroughly enjoyed the Aquarium and Berkshire Backyard. Highly recommended - we'll be back soon!

But, in the interest of full transparency, this pie was made with Pillsbury pie crusts and a $5 bag of Walmart Granny Smiths. I used the recipe on the pie crust box.
I am very excited to eat it.
