water 1 cup
oil 2 tablespoons
salt 1 teaspoon
sugar a pinch
bacon 6-8 slices
pizza sauce as needed
shredded cheese 1-2 cups
eggs 4-6

Take note
Handle the oven with caution and be careful when cracking the eggs, as shells can be sharp.

1

Prepare the pizza dough

Start by making or buying your favorite pizza dough. If making from scratch, gather the ingredients: flour, yeast, water, oil, salt, and a pinch of sugar. Mix everything together, knead the dough until smooth, cover it, and let it rise for about an hour.

2

Cook the bacon

While the dough is rising, cook crispy bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Once done, transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Chop the bacon into small pieces.

3

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) or follow the instructions on your store-bought dough package.

4

Roll out the dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. You can make one large pizza or divide the dough to create individual-sized pizzas.

5

Add toppings

Place the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread your favorite pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded cheese and the chopped bacon evenly over the sauce.

6

Crack the eggs

Carefully crack one egg at a time into a small bowl, taking care to avoid any shell pieces. Gently slide each egg onto the pizza, spacing them evenly apart.

7

Bake to perfection

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking!
