Cheesy Breakfast Pizza Bagel Ingredients

Cheesy breakfast pizza bagels use ingredients that you probably already have on hand. Below you can read more about each type of ingredient, cooking instructions, and substitution ideas. For more ideas on how to customize your breakfast bagels, check out the “toppings” section below.

Scrambled Eggs:

• Scramble up 10 eggs or use leftover scrambled eggs on these breakfast pizza bagels. Make sure to season your scrambled eggs with salt and pepper as you normally do. It’s important to season the eggs to make sure that this dish is “seasoned in layers.” This ensures the most flavorful result.

Bacon

Bell Pepper

Everything Bagels

• Honestly, you can use just about any savory bagel that you would like. Everything bagels are our bagel of choice, complement this recipe well, and are easy to find (Aldi’s has a very inexpensive store brand package of everything bagels).

Tomato Sauce
