Looking for something other than plain eggs to eat for breakfast? Something that’s protein-rich and satisfies but is gluten-free, too? This Cauliflower Crust Breakfast Pizza makes for one helluva satisfying breakfast, starting your day out just right.
It’s made with gluten-free cauliflower crust and loaded up with fluffy eggs, bacon and even a little bit of cheese for a delicious breakfast.
Cauliflower Crust Pizza isn’t just for dinner for anymore
Are you all over this cauliflower craze like I am? Cauliflower is such a great paleo-friendly, gluten-free substitution for breads and crusts and even crackers.
I started trying it out for meals other than dinner and it works so well. The crust is entirely customizable and like a blank canvas.
Now lemme tell ya, I’ve had some delicious breakfast pizza in my day, made with homemade pizza dough (heavy on the gluten!) and topped with eggs and meat and cheese.
So, I figured why not start with a gluten-free cauliflower crust and make a paleo-ish breakfast pizza loaded up with protein and sprinkled with some cheese? And that, my friend, is just what I did. I’m not sorry one little bit about it either. Only sorry I didn’t make this waaaaaay sooner!
Tips for Making This Recipe
- Don’t be tempted to make your own cauliflower pizza crust for this recipe. Or any recipe, for that matter! Of course this is just my opinion, however, cauliflower crust is very difficult to get just right. And it’s an awful lot of work. The likelihood it’ll hold the toppings on this pizza is very small. There are lots of great brands out there and more coming on the market everyday, it seems. You’re bound to find one that you like and that is free of any ingredients you don’t wish to have in there
- Have your ingredients prepared ahead of time for this recipe. It all comes together quickly, so you’ll want to have the bacon cooked and crumbled, the eggs cracked and ready to scramble and the cheese shredded before you begin cooking the dish
- This breakfast pizza makes for great leftovers! My recommendation for reheating is to skip the microwave and instead opt for a dry skillet. It sounds crazy, but works really well. Place the number of slices you wish to reheat in a dry skillet over low to medium heat. The crust will crisp up and the toppings will warm through nicely
- Going to a party? Share this Pull Apart Pizza Bread as an appetizer. Or make it for a fun twist for family dinner.
