Morning Delight Pizza is the perfect way to start your day with a savory twist. This breakfast pizza combines classic morning flavors with the satisfying experience of a homemade pie. It's quick to make and sure to impress even the sleepiest of breakfast companions.
The base of this recipe is a refrigerated pizza dough, which provides a convenient and reliable starting point. A little olive oil adds a subtle richness and helps the crust turn golden. The star of the show, eggs, provide a creamy, rich texture that complements the crispy crust. Shredded mozzarella cheese melts beautifully, offering a gooey layer that ties all the toppings together. Cooked bacon adds a savory crunch that pairs perfectly with the other flavors. Fresh cherry tomatoes bring a burst of sweetness and acidity, while fresh basil finishes the dish with a fragrant, herbal note. A bit of salt and pepper rounds out the flavors, enhancing each ingredient's natural taste.
This Morning Delight Pizza pairs wonderfully with a fresh fruit salad to balance the richness of the cheese and bacon. For a bit of extra indulgence, serve it alongside a simple arugula salad dressed with lemon juice and olive oil. A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a mimosa makes a fantastic accompaniment.
First things first, preheat your oven to a toasty 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a sturdy baking sheet inside. Let it heat up while you work on the dough. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about a 12-inch round. Don’t sweat it if it’s not a perfect circle; rustic is the way to go!
Once your dough is rolled out, carefully lift it onto a piece of parchment paper. This step is a lifesaver for transferring your pizza to the hot stone or baking sheet. Brush the surface of the dough lightly with olive oil, just enough to give it a nice sheen and help it crisp up.
Transfer the prepared dough onto the preheated stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake it for about 5 minutes until the crust starts to turn a lovely golden color. While it’s baking, you can get your toppings ready.
Once the crust has a bit of color, take it out of the oven. Crack the eggs right onto the pizza base, spacing them out evenly. Then, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, crumbled bacon, and cherry tomatoes over the top. Pop it back in the oven for another 8-10 minutes. You’re looking for set eggs and bubbly, golden cheese.
When it’s done, carefully remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and scatter the fresh basil on top. Slice it up and serve immediately to enjoy the best flavors.
