Breakfast pizza sounds like a novelty, but it is really just toast with more going on. Ready-made flatbreads crisp in a hot oven, then get garlic oil, melted mozzarella, spinach and a cracked egg that bakes until the white sets and the yolk stays soft. Four pizzas fit on two baking sheets and take about twenty-five minutes from start to finish. Cut them into wedges and eat with your hands.
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 230°C (450°F). Stir the olive oil with the garlic and a pinch of salt. Lay the flatbreads on two parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Brush the flatbreads with the garlic oil and bake for 3 minutes, until the surface just starts to firm up. Take the sheets out of the oven.
- Scatter the mozzarella over each flatbread in a ring, leaving a clear circle about 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) wide in the center for the egg. Top the cheese with the spinach and tomatoes.
- Crack an egg into the center of each ring, season with salt and pepper and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the whites are set, the cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden. The yolks should still be soft.
- Sprinkle with chili flakes, if using, cut into wedges and serve right away.
Tips
- Crack each egg into a small cup first and tip it gently into the ring. It is easier to control than cracking straight onto the pizza, and any stray shell stays in the cup.
- For a more filling pizza, add sautéed mushrooms or sliced roasted peppers, or swap the spinach for chopped kale.
Questions and answers
Can I use pizza dough instead of flatbread?
Yes. Stretch 4 small portions of dough (about 100 g each) thin, bake the plain crusts for 5 minutes, then add the toppings and the egg and bake for 8 to 10 minutes more.
How do I stop the egg whites running off the pizza?
Build a ring of cheese around the center and crack each egg into a cup first, then tip it gently into the ring. The cheese acts as a dam while the white sets.
Can I prepare breakfast pizzas ahead of time?
Partly. Pre-bake the flatbreads, then top with the cheese and vegetables up to a day ahead and refrigerate. Add the eggs and bake just before serving so the yolks stay soft.
