I’ll admit it: I’ve gone out of my way to make pizza for breakfast an acceptable meal. And I am not ashamed. Sometimes, leftovers from a late-night pizza run are all you have in the fridge Sunday morning. Sometimes, you don’t want to spend more than 5 minutes prepping your weekend brunch, so you pull out a frozen pizza and put an egg on it. Other times, you KNOW you’re a savory breakfast person, plan ahead, and buy pizza making ingredients to go with your eggs. Again, no shame. In fact, I celebrate the breakfast pizza! Below, I outline the 3 easiest ways to make it. If you try any of these methods, show me your pictures – you might be featured in the next Yolk Lover’s Guide!
I baked it partially, then added the caramelized onions, shaping them into little nests to hold the raw eggs. The pizza baked for several more minutes until the eggs reached the desired consistency, with the whites fully set. I sprinkled parsley on top and served it to my family, alongside a green salad.

Top a pre-baked crust with raw spinach, cooked bacon, a drizzle of Hollandaise, a few parmesan shavings and eggs for a fresh and elegant brunch pizza.
Sprinkle grated cheese on top of the sauce. Mozzarella is traditional, but you can use any kind of cheese you prefer from goat cheese to sharp cheddar, or a mixture of buffalo mozzarella, parmesan and pecorino.
Bake a pizza that started with a pre-baked crust at 500 F for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the toppings are heated through and the eggs are set. Add 2 to 3 minutes if you want the yolks cooked through.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for unbaked pizza dough, and 500 F if you are using pre-baked dough.
Sprinkle topping over the cheese unless you prefer your pizza plain. Toppings can include anything you like, so mix and match ingredients like onions, garlic, olives, green peppers, cooked sausage or bacon.
