Remember last week when I said I wasn’t going to be posting new recipes anytime soon?
Well I’m a big fat hairy liar, minus the extra wooly pounds part.
Hear me out. My treachery was never deliberate, I swear. I even understand your reluctance to trust me, especially since I called myself a trickster, not to be confused with a hipster, although I’m probably that too. I truly had no intentions of creating a new recipe this past weekend, much less sharing it on the blog come Monday. Sometimes life goes awry though and from the chaos, a beautiful Breakfast Pizza is born.
Some people set out to make a recipe with a definitive plan in place. They have a strong idea in mind, a firm approach and the ingredients to back it up. They measure twice and cut once, and I have no idea where I’m going with this analogy or how carpentry even got into our little food equation.
The point is this recipe did not come about as a result of a deliberate plan. It really developed when I opened my fridge and suddenly discovered my egg hoard had gotten out of control. Again. Ironically enough, I made a breakfast pizza that last time too.
Hoarding food, especially a particular ingredient is a lovely little side effect of being a willing participant in a CSA. I also have mountains of apples on my counters and a shitton of squash stashed away in my basement. It’s a thing.
Another thing is I imbibed in a few too many beers on Saturday night and maybe even some kind of shot named after the state of Washington, which also involved an apple. Look at that, I drink seasonally too. Now that’s pure dedication, although I did turn down the fireball because I’m too old for that crap, even if there is a catchy song about it now. It’s like the modern-day One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer with a Latino vibe. George Thorogood was ahead of his time or maybe Pitbull is regressing. Either way, I don’t do fireball.
I do however do pizza, especially after a night of consumption. In fact, I go to bed craving it, and I wake up wanting it even more. I’m pretty sure everybody does. It’s in our DNA. I’m almost certain I read somewhere it’s part of our thirty-fifth chromosome. Yes, that sounds right and completely factual. You should always believe everything you read on the internet too, even more so when it comes out of my mouth.
This Scrambled Egg Breakfast Pizza is Pitbull meets George Thorogood, or in other words, the perfect storm of creativity, hoarding and a desire to soak up some of the prior night’s drinking. It was so damn good, I simply had to share.
I used a Cracked Black Pepper Pizza Crust because my grocery story is awesome and carries the most magnificent dough balls, although any kind of dough would suffice. The base of this pie is a blend of ever so slightly sautรฉed onions, green peppers, garlic and radishes, a marriage made in heaven if you ask me, and then topped with pile upon pile of fluffy, and well seasoned, scrambled eggs. Covered with cheese because, duh, cheese, a few reserved bell peppers pieces, some radish slices and more chives purely for presentation purposes, this Breakfast Pizza is something you’re going to want in your mouth.
Even better than the magnificence of this pie, is the fact it uses a dozen eggs. Yes, a dozen eggs. It’s go big or go home around these parts or I really needed to put a significant dent in my stockpile. Whatever the reason, this comes together quickly and is enough to feed a small army, which means this makes the perfect post Thanksgiving breakfast, especially if you still have a lot of mouths lingering around, wanting to be fed yet again. That Thanksgiving crowd can be greedy. You give them one huge meal and then suddenly they want another. Go forth and feed them this Scrambled Egg Breakfast Pizza. They will call you a culinary wizard. They might even try to give you a shot of fireball.


- 1 Pizza Dough Ball
- 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 Bell Pepper, diced (approximately 1 cup), divided.
- 1/2 Onion, diced (approximately 1 cup)
- 2 cloves Garlic, diced
- 2 Radishes, divided: 1 diced and 1 sliced into thin circles for presentation purposes.
- 12 eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk of choice. I used Almond Milk.
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1/4 tsp. Pepper
- 1/4 tsp. Onion Powder
- 1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
- 3 tsps. Chives, divided
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese, divided
- Preheat oven to 425 (or according to your pizza dough directions).
- Stretch out your pizza dough into desired shape and cook dough all by itself for half of the cooking time. I cooked mine solo for seven minutes before adding any toppings.
- While the pizza dough is cooking, heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for a few minutes, until they turn translucent. Add diced garlic, one radish, and your bell pepper, all but 1 tablespoon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and let cook for a few more minutes, until vegetables begin to soften. Spread vegetables over your half-cooked pizza dough, covering the entire pie. Set your skillet aside, as we will be using it for the scrambled eggs.
- In a medium bowl, beat eggs, milk and seasonings until fluffy. Add 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Add egg mixture to nonstick skillet, which should have remnants of the olive oil, so there's no need to grease it. Cook eggs over low heat, turning occasionally, until eggs are soft set. No need to cook them all the way through here as your oven will do the rest. Let it work for you.
- Pour softened eggs on top of your pizza dough with veggie mixture. Top with remaining half cup of cheese, reserved green pepper, radish slices and another teaspoon of chives.
- Cook pizza in the oven for another 7 to 10 minutes, once the top begins to brown.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 3 minutes before digging in.
This post is being shared with Sprint 2 The Tableโs Strange But Good because thatโs my girl. Plus eggs on a pizza. Hello? Totally strange and so worth it.

Fabulous idea for my kids! They will totally love this!
Michele @ paleorunningmomma recently posted…Finished! Marathon Weekend Highlights in Pictures
You’re right. I didn’t even think about the kids, but it’s definitely a fun way to eat your scrambled eggs. Plus you can sneak some veggies in there and they’ll be none the wiser. Then again, maybe your kids love veggies. Either way, enjoy!
Clearly we are on the same wavelength today with the cheesy eggy goodness! Love the sound of this breakfast pizza but I do disagree with one point- eggs on pizza is anything but weird, at least around here. Runny eggs make for some excellent pizza toppers. Great recipe and I’m sure it works perfectly as a hangover cure too…at least if your hangovers are anything like mine :)!

Oh yes, a fried egg on a pizza has become a new thing here. It’s all the rage.

I’ll eat an egg-za! And even add a little #yolkporn. It can be like the icing on the pizza…

You would add #yolkporn to this. It’s part of your charm.

Two of my fav things in one….breakfast on the weekends & pizza! Looks amazing!!
This was a definite winner. I’ll have to make this the next time you’re in town.

You’re killing me with the pizza….. my weakness, my one and only love.
ugh….
I heard someone say last week, “Pizza is one of those things that even when it’s not good, it’s good.”
Resistance is futile, my friend.
Meghan recently posted…Scrambled Egg Breakfast Pizza Recipe
YES to wanting nothing but pizza the morning after a crazy night out. Although I have to admit that my pizzas were usually the cold leftover variety that didn’t involve any sort of eggs ๐ And have I mentioned how much I love seeing more recipes/posts from you lately? No pressure or anything ๐
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted…. fruit and seed granola bars .
Yeah no pressure or anything. ๐ Actually sometimes I need a push so this works. ๐

The spots I take my photos are so random hah, anything for that natural light! This pizza looks egg-cellent. I had to…

You would be my only commenter to mention the last processing photo. It’s kind of why I love you.
Meghan recently posted…Scrambled Egg Breakfast Pizza Recipe
12 eggs. This is my kind of pizza- I’m loving all this pizza action and this is genius- why have an egg and cheese sandwich when you can have an egg and cheese PIZZA? Although admittingly, I’d eat this cold like a sexier quiche. Rawr.
Arman @ thebigmansworld recently posted…Healthy Carrot Cake Truffles
Cold scrambled eggs just doesn’t do it for me. I intend to reheat my portion in the oven on a cookie sheet and go to town. The Hubby’s already devoured all his leftovers. ๐
Meghan recently posted…Scrambled Egg Breakfast Pizza Recipe
BF heard me laughing at the computer and asked “is that the clean feet person?” He then decided to read over my shoulder and declared that we’re making this pizza. That makes two of your pizza recipes on my to-eat list… I should really get on that.
Sarah Pie recently posted…Holiday Health and Fitness
This makes me happy, knowing I’m making you laugh the BF identifies that same laughter with me.
Enjoy the pizza, and then please report back and tell me how much you loved it.
Meghan recently posted…Scrambled Egg Breakfast Pizza Recipe
This recipe is the perfect marriage of two of my favourite foods (pizza and eggs, duh). I could have used it this weekend when JZ brought me 15 eggs that had expired that day and told me to do something with them. Isn’t he nice? I ended up making a strata, but next time I have a dozen eggs kicking around and a crowd to feed, this is happening!
Chelsea @ Chelsea’s Healthy Kitchen recently posted…Anniversary dinner at Spencerโs at the Waterfront
A man willing to save fifteen eggs from spoilage is a precious thing. Unfortunately, his method of saving them was to hand them off to you. A strata sounds like a perfect way to go. This would totally work too.

Thanks Caralyn, I like to think so too.
Meghan recently posted…Top Ten Rules of The Road
next time you make this, you need to hoard some goat cheese. Then we can have one big omelette pizza. Yes?
Ah yes, goat cheese would be fabulous here. Then again, goat cheese would be fabulous anywhere!!
Meghan recently posted…Top Ten Rules of The Road
What an interesting idea! Thank you so much for sharing. I feel as though the most creative recipes most frequently come when we’re not trying to make them. Have a wonderful weekend and happy FF!

I would love scrambled pizza for breakfast. ๐

I just finished the last slice for breakfast today. So good!
This breakfast pizza is my kind of food! I mean, I eat normal pizza for breakfast sometimes but at least this way it’s not horrible for me haha!
I think it’s okay to go back on your word if you’re giving something!
I’m the same with my egg hoarding, I buy them 30 at a time and sometimes I go through them really quickly and other times I don’t so I end up with eggs everywhere! Another thing I seem to hoard is soy sauce, I have at least 3 unopened bottles – I’m not sure why but about once a month I’m in the grocery store and I’m like “hmm I probably need soy sauce and put some in my basket” I never do need it!
Michelle @ Giraffes Can Bake recently posted…Clementine and Pomegranate Muffins
Soy sauce huh? Now that’s an interesting hoard to have. I’ve heard of fancy mustards and salsa hoards, so why not soy sauce. Or maybe we should have all the food hoards. I’ve got a boatload of squash in the basement. That must count for something.

Yum Meghan, this pizza looks like the perfect after Thanksgiving meal. Thanks for sharing with us at this week’s FF ๐

Angie recently posted…Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwich | Fiesta Friday #44
This will put a nice hefty dent in those three dozen eggs. In fact, I may need to make another pizza since I still have well over two dozen eggs left. Oops.
Meghan recently posted…Top Ten Rules of The Road
What a great concept. Breakfast pizza! I love scramble eggs and this looks like a lovely way to start the day! ๐
It’s a delicious way to start the day. Filling, fun and fantastic. Apparently, I’m hooked on all the F’s today.

Hee hee.

I’m sorry that I hate eggs because this pizza is absolutely beautiful. Maybe I can just replace the eggs with more cheese – hahaha!
You are one skilled picture-taker (and pizza-maker)!
Christina @ The Athletarian recently posted…Marathon Monday: that โred lineโ
Wait? What? You don’t like eggs….I don’t even know what to say, other than my heart is broken into tiny little jagged pieces. Excuse me, while I go weep in the corner… but wait, this means more pizza for me. Never mind; we’re all good now.
Meghan recently posted…Top Ten Rules of The Road
You are an absolute genius, Meghan. This breakfast pizza just may make me a morning person-and that’s saying something! I wish I would’ve had this recipe to cuddle up to after my turkey hangover on Thanksgiving…next year for sure:-)

This breakfast pizza would make me get out of bed in the morning too. So much goodness, just like a turkey hangover. ๐
