Ingredients Needed
- 2 sheets thawed puff pastry (approx. 240g / 8.5 oz)
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 large egg + 1 teaspoon water (for egg wash)
- 170g (6 oz) sharp white cheddar cheese, freshly grated
- 6 large eggs (or as many/few as you’d like)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons fresh snipped chives (for topping)
How To Make Puff Pastry Egg Pizza
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Thaw the puff pastry if frozen.
- Cook the bacon: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and cook the bacon until almost crispy, but not burnt.
- Prepare the puff pastry: Place the puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Slightly roll up the edges to form a crust. Brush the pastries with the egg wash.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle grated cheddar over both pastries, add bacon, and crack eggs onto each pastry. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake the pizza: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and the eggs are set.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chives, slice, and serve!
Recipe Tips
- Don’t overcook the bacon: Cook the bacon until it’s almost crispy, but not too much. It will crisp up further in the oven without getting too tough.
- Adjust the egg count: Add more eggs if you prefer a heartier pizza, or use fewer eggs for a lighter version. Make sure to crack each egg carefully to avoid spilling.
- Roll up the pastry edges slightly: This helps form a crust that keeps the toppings in place while baking and gives the pizza a nice, golden edge.
- Watch the baking time: Keep an eye on the pizza while it bakes. The puff pastry should be golden, and the eggs should be set but still slightly soft in the center.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover puff pastry egg pizza cool to room temperature. Then, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Freeze: If you want to freeze the pizza, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil and place it in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 1 month. To serve, thaw in the fridge before eating.
