Introduction

Start your day with a delicious and satisfying breakfast pizza bagel. This easy recipe combines creamy eggs, savory bacon, spinach, and melted mozzarella on a toasted bagel for a perfect morning treat.

A round pizza with a thick crust covered in mixed seeds, forming the first layer with a speckled look. The base layer is golden-brown baked dough, topped with a smooth, melted white cheese layer. On top of the cheese are three sunny-side-up eggs evenly spaced in the middle, each egg with bright yellow yolks and white cooked edges. Scattered generously over the surface are crispy, browned bacon pieces adding a rich texture and dark reddish-brown color. Small green chive pieces are sprinkled all over, giving a fresh contrast to the warm colors. The pizza rests on a round wooden board placed on a white marbled surface, next to a white bowl of sesame seed mix, a white bowl of chopped chives, a striped white and beige cloth, and a shiny silver pizza cutter at the slice edge. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 plain bagels, split
2 tbsp butter, divided
4 large eggs
1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Arrange the bagel halves cut side up in a single layer on the prepared pan. Spread butter evenly on each bagel half.
Step 3: Crack one egg carefully into the center hole of each bagel half, making sure the egg stays in place.
Step 4: Top each bagel half with about two tablespoons of thawed and drained spinach, two tablespoons of cooked bacon, and a quarter cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the egg yolk is cooked through to your liking and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips & Variations

Try swapping the bacon for ham or sausage for a different flavor profile.
Mix in chopped green peppers and onions with the spinach for added crunch and sweetness.
Use other cheeses such as cheddar, Gruyere, or provolone to change up the taste.
Add tomato sauce and pepperoni for a classic pizza twist.

Storage

Store any leftover breakfast pizza bagels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or toaster oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through to keep the crust crisp and the toppings delicious.

How to Serve

Two sandwiches sit on white parchment on a white plate, each with three visible layers: a bottom layer of a toasted sesame and poppy seed white bagel cut in half, a middle layer of melted white cheese and red bits on a light red sauce, and a top layer of fluffy yellow scrambled eggs topped with browned sausage pieces and green leaves. The sandwiches are sprinkled with black pepper flakes. In the blurred background, another sandwich and a glass filled with an orange liquid are visible on a white marbled surface.

FAQs

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh spinach works well. Just sauté it lightly to remove excess moisture before adding it to the bagels.

What if I don’t have parchment paper?

You can lightly grease the baking sheet with butter or oil to prevent sticking, but parchment paper makes cleanup easier and helps keep the bagels from sticking.

Notes

You can customize your breakfast bagels with various toppings like ham, vegetables, different cheeses, sausage, or tomato sauce for a pizza-inspired flavor.
Ensure the spinach is well-drained after thawing to prevent soggy bagels.
Cook the bacon ahead of time thoroughly and crumble it for easy topping application.
If preferred, broil for the last 1-2 minutes to brown the cheese slightly but watch carefully to avoid burning.
For a gluten-free option, substitute with gluten-free bagels.
