Breakfast Pizza with Eggs and Spinach is a delicious and hearty morning meal featuring a crispy crust topped with creamy ricotta, fresh spinach, eggs, and cheese. Perfect for brunch or a special weekend breakfast.
Ingredients
– 1 (1-pound) ball of pizza dough
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 5 ounces fresh spinach
– 1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
– 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
– 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 4 large eggs
– 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
– Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). If using pizza dough, roll it out to a 12-inch circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the crust with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder.
- Spread ricotta cheese evenly over the crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Top with chopped spinach and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Create four small wells in the toppings and crack an egg into each well.
- Season with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the egg whites are set.
- Garnish with red pepper flakes and fresh basil if desired.
- Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the crust for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- Add cooked bacon, sausage, or mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for even cooking.
- This pizza is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
