Breakfast Tart: the quick and easy tart recipe you’ll love

The pizza dough becomes crunchy, while the cheese and eggs make it moist. It’s easy to make ahead of time and you can customize it just as you want! Is it a tart? Is it a pizza? See for yourself. Pour the eggs over the pizza dough and let's make the best breakfast recipe ever!

Pro Tips

– Use store-bought puff pastry if you want an extra flaky crust. You can even use canned crescent dough.

– Make small breakfast tartlets or quiche tarts. Preheat the oven to 180°C and cut the pizza dough (or puff pastry) into smaller squares. Place the dough or pastry in the molds of a muffin pan and bake for 20 minutes. Add grated cheese and chopped cooked bacon. Finally, break open an egg in each mold. Cook for another 20 minutes until the egg is cooked through.

– To make a breakfast quiche: place the pizza dough in a tart pan and prebake for 20 minutes. Add diced sweet potato, sliced onion, and 2 handfuls of baby spinach. Top with cubed cheese and finish off with eggs whisked with a bit of milk. Bake until cooked through.

– For a sweet, fruity breakfast tart: place the pizza dough on a baking pan (make individual pizzas) and bake until cooked through. Top with cream cheese mixed with honey and vanilla essence. Top with sliced kiwis, sliced strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Serve with fresh whipped cream.

Breakfast Tart Variations

– Meat: instead of bacon, you can use sausage slices, chorizo, cooked ground turkey, smoked chicken, or turkey bacon.

– Cheese: use feta or parmesan cheese.

– Make scrambled eggs instead of using individual eggs!

– Add a spoonful of marinara sauce or cream cheese to the base of the pizza dough before adding the other ingredients. You can even use a basil pesto too!

– For a vegetarian topping option, try a combination of cooked potato, asparagus, pizza sauce, and gruyere cheese. You can also use bell peppers, olives, corn, feta cheese. Otherwise, try the melting flavors of roasted butternut squash, cheddar, mozzarella, mushrooms, and red pepper.

How to store Breakfast Tart

The breakfast tart is best served straight away! But you can make it a few hours ahead of time. You can also make individual pizzas so that each has their own breakfast tart!

How to make Breakfast Tart 

Roll out the pizza dough onto a baking sheet and use a spoon to press down the dough.

Add the eggs to the pizza dough, making sure to leave a space between them.

Sprinkle with grated cheese, and add the slices of cooked bacon.

Bake for 10 minutes at 200ºC (400ºF).

Notes

If you’re using puff pastry, you might want to precook the dough for about 15 minutes, otherwise, it will be undercooked.
