Burrata Breakfast Pizza.
Say hello to all of your breakfast dreams.
I should probably just title this post “a million photos of the same cheesy, melty burrata pizza slices.”
Because that’s what it is! I can’t help it.
Just check out all of the layered goodness below. Not to mention the fluffy dough. I rhyme?
We have:
sauce
burrata
bacon!
sausage and you know that I don’t even LIKE sausage but it’s legit on this
sprinkles of herbs, green scallions and chives
and my favorite of all the ingredients ever, eggs!
The amount of eggs in my life is borderline ridiculous. My top three consumed foods at the moment would probably be eggs, avocado and cheese. Not often together but delicious together.
I’ve had breakfast pizza before but it’s usually missing one big ingredient: the sauce. Which should come as no surprise since sauce isn’t really my thing, HOWEVER… I’m changing. I’m starting to want more sauce on my pizza, want sauce with the cheese, with the eggs on top and the scallions and the crunchy bacon. It just sounded life changing. No way was this happening without some tomato goodness.
P.S. I think it was these saucy baked eggs that changed everything.
My skepticism was also high on the burrata + pizza combo. I adora burrata (is there anyone who doesn’t?!), but how would the cream-stuffed mozzarella work on pizza? Would the cheese end up being too wet and not cheesy enough? Would it be runny? Would I regret not using provolone or my go-to, fontina?
It turns out that it’s option D: none of the above. As you can see, the cheese is incredibly melty and wonderful and stringy in a good way and, for lack of a better work, cheesy. Plus, is mixes in with the sauce and almost acts like a bit of a cream sauce on certain bites which made my brain practically explode. My tastebuds were already freaking out so the brain was next. Clearly.
The eggs are your timer here. How do you like your eggs? I like my eggs every which way (EXCEPT! runny scrambled eggs, aka, barely cooked eggs, and I just cannot deal with runny whites either) and don’t mind if there are runny, soft or film yolks on the pizza. I’ll switch it up depending on what I feel like that day orrrr if I set the timer too long on the oven. Whoops.
What I’m super excited for is warm weather so this can be made on the grill and served outside on a Saturday morning. It would be lovely at your Easter brunch, you can make the dough the night before or heck, even use some store bought dough. Measure out your toppings the night before and prep some things if possible (cook your bacon, your sausage) and it will barely take any time to make come eight AM.
It is 100% calling your name right now.
Burrata Breakfast Pizza
Ingredients
dough
- 1 1/8 cups warm water
- 3 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
toppings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup marinara/pizza sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 balls of burrata cheese
- 1/2 pound sweet italian sausage, browned
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 3 or 4 large eggs, or however many you’d like!
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsely
- 1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, honey and olive oil. Mix with a spoon, then let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add in 2 1/2 cups flour and salt, stirring with a spoon until the dough comes together but is still sticky. Using your hands, form the dough into a ball and work in the additional 1/2 cup flour, kneading it on a floured surface for a few minutes. Rub the same bowl with olive oil then place the dough inside, turning to coat. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place to rise for about 1-1 1/2 hours.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and place it back on the floured surface. Using a rolling pin or your hands, form it into your desired shape (sometimes I use baking sheets and do rectangles or free form pizzas – this specific dough will yield one pizza large enough to feed about 3-4 people) and place on a baking sheet or pizza peel. Place the towel back over the dough and let sit in the warm place for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. (If I use my pizza stone, I heat my oven to 475 degrees and bake for 15 minutes. If you’re just using a baking sheet, follow the directions below for baking and set to 425 degrees.)
- Brush the pizza dough with the olive oil. Cover it with the marinara sauce and sprinkle with the garlic cloves and red pepper. Pull apart the balls of burrata and evenly disperse it over the dough. Top with the sausage, bacon and scallions. Evenly crack the eggs over top. I like to find “pockets” where the eggs can sit nicely between the toppings so they don’t run off while cooking!
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (or around 15 to 20 minutes if using the pizza stone) – until the eggs are set to your liking. Remove the pizza and cover with the herbs and chives. Slice and serve immedaitely!

Ohh my god, all my breakfast dreams come true! It has all of those delicious ingredients.. My god, you even added burrata. Love it!
Breakfast dreams indeed!! This pizza looks like magic!
Oohhhh this looks so delicious! To be honest, I really can’t get on board with eggs on pizza because while I love runny yolks (like poached eggs!), runny or mucousy white (eewwww I am shuddering thinking about it!) grosses me out. And my scrambled eggs I am so picky on too – not runny for sure but not brown at all either. Sigh. Anyway – how do you make yolks runny but not the white?
This pizza looks heavenly! And with the egg on top – oh my! Your posts are always mouthwatering!
Shut the front door … this looks so good!! Sure puts my yogurt and granola that im currently eating to shame.
That looks so amazing! I need it right now.
Pizza for breakfast?! I’m all in.
This pizza is giving me life rn. Is there anything better than burrata?!
ugh *shudders at thought of gooey egg whites and soft scrambled eggs* – fully cooked with a side of grapefruit mimosa (my all time fave) sounds perfect.
This is amaaazing! I need burrata breakfast pizza in my life ASAP. Definitely needs to happen for brunch this weekend!!
Pizza dreams and breakfast dreams.
Definitely want to try this out this summer on the grill! Yummy :)
Pizza of my dreams!! Everything is made better with an egg on top, this would be perfect for summertime grilled pizza. :)
All breakfast dreams came true with this recipe!
For the LOVE of my life!!! YES!! Need this like yesterday!!! SOOO hapenning this weeekend!! Thank you for another PIZZA recipe :-)
This is freaking gorgeous and I cannot get over that drool-worthy egg yolk. That is all.
Omg I love Burratas!!!!! It’s my favorite!! This breakfast pizza looks absolutely amazing!!
OMG. I’ve been dreaming about breakfast pizzas for forever now–I tried making one with sweet potato and egg for my blog, but it didn’t work out :/ I will have to try this one!
Oooo I cannot handle runny scrambled eggs or runny egg whites either! I ask restaurants to “overcook” scrambled and poached eggs just so this doesn’t happen to me. Yuck! That said, this pizza looks AMAZING! Definitely trying it out!
Looks lovely. But I agree with you that too many pictures of the same thing is a bit, well, not informative. Is there an unspoken minimum length to a post? Or a min number of images? I just don’t get the repetition. (And this is not just your blog, in case someone has a doubt :)) great recipe, will try.
ummm, holy cow. eggs as a condiment is where life is !
Burrata & egg on a pizza! I couldn’t pin this fast enough. I’d like to order it for dinner, thanks!

Oh my gosh yes. I should not have looked at this when I was hungry! It looks soooooo good! The egg on top definitely makes it!
Delicious. I made them personal size for dinner with prosciutto instead of bacon. Thanks for the idea!
The burrata pizza looks delicious! I love the idea of showcasing pizza for breakfast
Mmmm, pizza on the grill with friends and your grapefruit daiquiris?! OMG! And pizza for breakfast? I’m in! And who would have thought? It’s got everything, Jessica! Thank you for this!
Made this yesterday for our Easter brunch. It was delicious. We doubled the recipe to make 2 pizzas, not realizing how HUGE these pizzas were going to be. I would say one of these feeds more than 3-4 people, but I guess it really depends on how much pizza each serving is.. based on the size of our pizzas, I feel like one of these could feed 8-10. Our second pizza wasn’t touched. But of course, we had a bunch of other food available as well. Great recipe! Everyone was impressed by the eggs on the pizza. Unfortunately though it was almost impossible to get the eggs with whites set and yolks still runny. All of our eggs ended up cooked all the way through.

This may be a silly question but where do you find burrata? Will most supermarkets have it or it is a specialty thing?
