breakfast pizza topped with tomato sauce, spinach, mozzarella and eggs

Can you eat pizza for breakfast? Oh you totally can! Our breakfast pizza is topped with creamy mozzarella, spinach and eggs. A delicious weekend brunch!

Breakfast pizza is definitely a very good thing! Perfect with a cup of good coffee sat in the sunshine.

Our breakfast pizza is made with homemade pizza dough, topped with delicious tomato sauce, spinach, eggs and mozzarella and it’s the perfect way to do brunch in style.

And egg on pizza is such a good thing! They cook deliciously and the mozzarella melts into them in a mouthwateringly good way!

Simple, rustic and super delicious. 

I usually make up the dough the night before and just leave it in a bowl covered in clingfilm in the fridge overnight ready to roll in the morning. 

Breakfast pizza ingredients

– for the pizza dough

  • 500g strong white flour – I use 00 Italian flour it’s the best for making pizza dough.
  • 1 tsp fine salt
  • 1 tsp dried yeast (not fast action)
  • 1 tbs olive oil – plus a little extra for greasing
  • 350ml just slightly warm water (don’t use hot water it kills the yeast)

– for the egg pizza toppings

  • 400g can pizza sauce – I use Mutti pizza sauce it’s just SO good – like homemade but from a can! You can swap for flavoured passata if you prefer or homemade tomato sauce.
  • 250g mozzarella 
  • 250g fresh baby spinach
  • 4 eggs – you can make these egg free but egg pizza is just so good!
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 1 tbs olive oil – to drizzle after baking

How to make breakfast pizza

– make the pizza dough

The dough will make two large pizzas which will serve 2 people each

  • Mix the flour and salt – add the flour and salt to a large mixing bowl
  • Activate the yeast – add the yeast to the water and stir.
  • Form a dough – make a well in the middle of the flour and pour in the tbs of olive oil and around 1/3 of the water, start to mix the dough by moving hand in circular motions in the well – bringing in more of the flour each rotation – continue adding the water and mixing the dough until you have a rough sticky dough
  • Knead the dough – then tip out onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for around 10-15 minutes until it’s a nice smooth elastic dough.
  • Rise the dough – lightly oil a mixing bowl and pop the dough in, cover the bowl in clingfilm and leave on the worktop for around 3-4 hours to rise.
  • Roll the pizza dough – then remove the dough, knead for a few minutes and divide into 2 balls to roll into the pizza bases.

– how to make the pizza

  • Heat the oven – preheat the oven to 220C / 425F / Gas Mark 7
  • Prepare the spinach – tip the spinach into a colander stood in the kitchen sink – pour over a kettle full of freshly boiled water then leave for a few minutes to cool – once it’s cool enough to pick up – squeeze the water out of it and roughly chop – then put to one side ready to use on the pizza.
  • Roll out the pizzas
  • Put the pizzas onto the baking tray – place the pizza base onto a baking tray – lined with baking paper and lightly floured. (use semolina flour for a more authentic taste)
  • Add the pizza toppings – top with a couple of spoonfuls of tomato sauce – spread thinly to cover dough, dot on some mozzarella cheese, some spinach and leave a gap for the eggs.
  • Crack on the eggs – crack the eggs into the gap – cookie egg on pizza is super easy! Just crack and cook.
  • Season – scatter over some dried oregano and sea salt, add a drizzle of oil.
  • Cook the pizza – cook in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the dough is cooked and the toppings starting to brown and your egg is cooked to your liking.
  • Add more olive oil – remove from the oven and drizzle with a little olive oil.
