Description
A savory breakfast pizza using flaky phyllo dough topped with bacon and eggs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (16 ounces) frozen phyllo dough, thawed
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet.
- Unroll the thawed phyllo dough. Keep the sheets covered with a slightly damp towel while you work to prevent drying.
- Brush one sheet of phyllo dough with melted butter and place it on the prepared pan. Repeat this process, layering and brushing with butter, until all the phyllo sheets are used, creating a crust. Gently press the edges to form a slight rim.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the phyllo crust.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
- Top with the crumbled bacon and the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
- Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute Gruyere cheese for cheddar for a sharper flavor.
- For crispier bacon, bake it on a rack over a baking sheet before crumbling.
