Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Pizza
There’s something about a cheesy breakfast pizza that makes mornings a little more special.
This version uses a naan or flatbread base, topped with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and plenty of melted cheese. It’s like having all your favorite breakfast flavors in one slice.
The first time I made breakfast pizza was on a lazy Sunday morning, just trying to use up some leftovers.
It turned out so well that now it’s a go-to for weekend breakfasts or when friends come over for brunch.
Whether you’re serving it fresh from the oven or warming up leftovers, this cheesy breakfast pizza on naan or flatbread is always a hit!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Quick and Easy – Using naan or flatbread as the base makes this breakfast pizza simple to put together and perfect for busy mornings.
- Customizable – You can swap the bacon for sausage, add veggies like bell peppers or spinach, or try different cheeses.
- All-in-One Breakfast – Eggs, bacon, cheese, and a crispy crust bring all the best breakfast flavors together in each slice.
- Perfect for Brunch – This is a fun option for weekend brunches or family breakfasts, where everyone can grab a slice.
I’ve found a few little tricks that make this breakfast pizza extra good.
Lightly toasting the naan or flatbread before adding the toppings gives it that perfect crispy base. And for the eggs, I scramble them just until they’re set, so they stay soft and don’t dry out in the oven.
Sometimes I’ll add a sprinkle of green onions or even a drizzle of hot sauce after baking, which takes it up a notch. Now, whenever I make this, I know it’ll be a hit and I can have fun adding little touches for extra flavor!

- Baking Sheet – For baking the naan pizza in the oven.

- Small Mixing Bowl – For whisking the eggs and milk or cream together.

Toppings:
- Eggs (use egg whites if desired)
- Milk or cream (for scrambling eggs)
- Salt and black pepper
- Butter or oil (for scrambling eggs)
- Bacon (can substitute with cooked sausage crumbles or ham)

- Prepare Scrambled Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with milk or cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper. In the same skillet, melt butter or add oil over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring often, until the eggs are just set but still soft. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the naan. Top with torn pieces of American cheese and sprinkle with crumbled bacon.

- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions. Slice and serve warm.
What to Serve with Breakfast Pizza
This breakfast pizza is filling on its own, but a few sides can make it even better. Fresh fruit, like berries or orange slices, adds a refreshing balance. For a heartier breakfast, pair it with a side of crispy hash browns or a simple green salad. And for brunch gatherings, a pitcher of fresh juice or a simple smoothie is a perfect addition.

Notes
Tips for the Best Breakfast Pizza
- Lightly Toast the Naan First: If you want a crispier base, toast the naan in the oven for 2-3 minutes before adding the toppings.
- Use Soft Scrambled Eggs: Avoid overcooking the eggs—they should be just set, so they stay creamy even after baking.
- Customize the Cheese: American cheese melts smoothly, but feel free to swap in cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for extra flavor.
- Try Other Toppings: Add sautéed mushrooms, diced bell peppers, or a sprinkle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
