There’s something magical about breakfast pizza that just makes mornings better.
Combining all the classic breakfast favorites like eggs, cheese, and crispy bacon on a golden crust, it’s the perfect way to kickstart your day.
And if you haven’t tried making it in an air fryer yet, you’re in for a treat!
Ingredient List
I love keeping things simple, so here’s what you’ll need for this yummy Air Fryer Breakfast Pizza.
For the Sauce
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or use your favorite herbs)
For the Dough
- 1 ready-made pizza dough (about 500 grams or use gluten-free 1:1 blend)
For the Topping
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar or dairy-free cheese shreds)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped (or turkey bacon if you prefer)
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, diced (use pre-chopped to save time)
- 1/4 cup onion, diced (omit if your kids aren’t fans)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions

- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a crispy crust right from the start.
- Roll out the ready-made pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Spread about 1/2 cup (120 grams) of pizza sauce evenly over the dough. You can use store-bought or homemade sauce.
- Whisk 2 large eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add 1 cup (100 grams) of shredded cheese on top of the sauce. Use mozzarella or cheddar (or dairy-free cheese shreds if needed).
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup (75 grams) of cooked bacon, diced. You can substitute with turkey bacon or omit for a vegetarian option.
- Toss in 1/2 cup (75 grams) of chopped bell peppers and 1/4 cup (40 grams) of diced onions. (Use pre-chopped veggies to save 10 minutes.)
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the toppings for extra flavor.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the air fryer basket. Make sure it fits without squishing toppings.
- Cook for 9-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the cheese bubbles. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
- Let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing. Resting helps keep the layers flaky and prevents toppings from sliding off.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Freeze unbaked pizza – thaw overnight before cooking.
- Kid-Friendly Adjustment: Omit chili flakes for milder palates.
Recipe Notes & Variations
-
For the Sauce
- Use store-bought pizza sauce or whisk together crushed tomatoes and Italian herbs (homemade is easier!).
-
For the Topping
- Cheese: I love mozzarella, but cheddar or dairy-free cheese shreds work too.
- Meat: Swap cooked bacon for sausage or ham (whatever you have).
- Veggies: Use pre-chopped veggies to save 10 minutes. Bell peppers and onions are great, but try spinach or zucchini.
Dietary Tweaks
- For gluten-free: Swap the pizza dough with a 1:1 gluten-free blend.
- For a lighter option: Use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
Kid-Friendly Adjustments
- Omit chili flakes for milder palates.
- Let kids sprinkle cheese themselves for more fun.
Make-Ahead Tips
