A Ricotta Breakfast pizza that’s homemade and full of savory sausage, bacon, and eggs that are topped with gooey cheese is a great way to start off the day!
One of my favorite things about having pizza for breakfast is that it’s a fun spin on the traditional weekday breakfast.
How To Make Ricotta Breakfast Pizza From Scratch
Is there anything better for breakfast then something savory, hearty, and full of gooey cheese? I don’t think there is!
I know you are thinking who has that time on a weekday morning? I know I don’t and neither do many of you. That’s why I love making breakfast pizza either for dinner. I usually make two at a time. That way I have one for dinner and then one I can eat up during the week for a quick breakfast on the go.
Of course breakfast pizzas are pretty fantastic on the weekends too!

Before you get started on this yummy recipe, here are a few tips.
Expert Tips, Ingredient List and Suggestions for Recipe Success
- Meat – you can use any of your favorite breakfast meats on this. Sausage, bacon, hamburger, ham, anything you love would be great.
- Ricotta cheese – any brand works fine.
Do I Have To Use Sausage?
No, you don’t. You can substitute and do ham and bacon, double bacon, or even hamburger if you choose. It’s totally up to you.
How Do I Make The Crust Crispy?
I precook the pizza dough then I add the toppings and put it back into the oven.
How Do You Reheat This?
I think it’s better to reheat pizza in the oven at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes. However, you can also reheat it faster by placing it on a microwave-safe plate, covering it with a plastic plate cover, and reheating it for a minute at a time until it’s the temp you prefer.
Step by Step Directions:
The full instructions are below as well as a printable ingredient list. The basics are as follows:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to the degrees recommend on the pizza crust.
Step 2: Brown Sausage and drain.
Step 3: Cook bacon until crispy. Let cool so you can crumble.
Step 4: Whisk together the eggs in a medium sized bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Make sure you add some milk to your egg mixture before cooking so you get nice fluffy eggs.
Step 5: Then in a heated and prepared skillet, lightly scramble the eggs and cook them until they are almost set. DO NOT fully cook the eggs.
Step 6: Add ricotta cheese, one egg and seasonings to a mixing bowl and mix well.
Step 7: While everything is cooking, spray your baking pan. Roll out your pizza dough onto any size baking sheet you wish to use. I used a Nonstick Medium Cookie Pan.
Step 8: Bake your pizza crust for about 5-8 minutes.
Step 9: Take out of the oven and spread ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the pizza crust.
Step 10: Add egg, bacon and sausage.
Step 11: Cover with mozzarella cheese. You can sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper if you’d like.
Step 12: Bake 425° until crispy and cheese is melted. I like crispier cheese so I do mine until it’s a bit brown. About 12-15 minutes.
Step 13: Let sit for a few minutes before cutting and enjoy!
