The best egg puff pastry breakfast

One of my favorite ways to step up breakfast and brunch is this pizza-style puff pastry breakfast. It's as simple as thawing puff pastry, adding toppings, baking it, and serving up sheer elegance. There's nothing like biting into a flaky, buttery puff pastry with customizable breakfast toppings. It's easy, elegant, and ready in 30 minutes! Pair this entree with baked smashed potatoes for true, homemade morning comfort.

Ingredients

  • Puff pastry - A light, flaky, buttery dough that makes the decadent base for this recipe.
  • Egg wash - Adds a golden color and glossy finish to puff pastry. It's made by whisking together one egg with one teaspoon of water.
  • Cheese - Use any cheese you like.
  • Bacon - Savory, crispy, and delicious. Swap the bacon with leftover spiral ham from your holiday meal.
  • Asparagus - Thin asparagus is recommended for this recipe.
  • Eggs - Whole fresh eggs are used for this recipe.
  • Salt and pepper - Essential seasoning.
  • Fresh parsley - Optional garnish

How to make this recipe

Preheat oven and lay thawed puff pastry on parchment paper on a flat surface. Score a ½-inch border around the dough and use a fork to prick the pastry inside the border.

Make an egg wash by whisking together one egg and one tablespoon of water. Brush the puff pastry surface with this mixture. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.

Recipe tips

  • Puff pastry must be thawed completely before use. Thaw at room temperature for 40 minutes.
  • Scoring the puff pastry with a knife promotes a loftier rise, creating an elevated, puffy border around the pizza toppings.
  • Pricking puff pastry with a fork, also called docking, ensures crispiness by releasing steam during baking and helps prevent uneven puffy areas.
  • Applying an egg wash to puff pastry is optional but recommended as it imparts a beautiful golden sheen to the surface.
  • Crack each raw egg into a separate bowl, then onto the pizza, to control placement. This helps avoid any unwanted broken yolks on the pizza.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking! Be careful not to overload the puff pastry as it is delicate.

    Oh man I forgot how much I loved to enjoy a farm fresh egg on puff pastry – the texture and flavor is fantastic! It's not your everyday breakfast but still easy enough to make for special occasions. Thanks for helping this dude out!

    This is such a brilliant idea! We didn't have any asparagus, so used some wilted spinach instead - OMG it's so good. Can't wait to try it with asparagus next time!

    Could you tell me what size the puff pastry should be rolled out to? Looks tasty!

    Reply

    • The Kitchen Girl says

      Hi Jan, you're only rolling the puff pastry to remove the creases. You're not actually rolling it any larger than it is straight from the package, which is about 10" x 15". Enjoy!

    I've never thought about making breakfast pizza with puff pasty before - this is so smart and delicious! Love how using the puff pastry really gives it that boost of buttery, brunchy goodness. I'm not a fan of bacon (I know...something must be wrong with me), but found tempeh bacon to be a delicious alternative!

      Thanks Kelli! Yes...the pastry really does give that boost to breakfast pizza. Glad you like this idea 🙂
