This Breakfast Flatbread is an easy and tasty way to start your day! With a crispy flatbread topped with eggs, cheese, and your favorite veggies, it’s sure to please everyone at the table.
Honestly, who can resist warm, cheesy goodness? I often add extra toppings like avocado or salsa for a little kick. It’s a breakfast win every time! 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Flatbreads: You can use store-bought flatbreads for convenience. If you’re feeling creative, make your own with simple dough using flour, water, and yeast. Pita bread works too!
Eggs: Fresh eggs are key for the best flavor. If you enjoy a vegetarian option, simply skip the eggs or substitute with tofu scramble for a tasty alternative!
Bacon: I love using crispy bacon for that smoky flavor. If you prefer a lighter option, turkey bacon or even a plant-based bacon substitute will work well here!
Cheese: While mozzarella is classic, feel free to use cheddar, gouda, or feta for a richer taste. Mix different cheeses for a unique twist!
Vegetables: Cherry tomatoes and kale are great but consider adding bell peppers, mushrooms, or red onion. You can use any veggies you have on hand for this flatbread!
How Can I Ensure My Eggs Are Perfectly Cooked?
Getting the eggs just right can be tricky! Here’s how to do it:
- Make sure to crack the eggs gently onto the flatbread, avoiding the cheese so they cook evenly.
- Monitor your baking time closely. 10 minutes will give you runny yolks while 15 will set them more.
- If you want fully cooked yolks, consider covering the flatbread with foil for the last few minutes to keep the heat trapped.
Enjoy these tips to make your Breakfast Flatbread a tasty success!

Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Flatbread:
- 2 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Toppings:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup fresh kale or spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
How Much Time Will You Need?
The total time for this Breakfast Flatbread is approximately 20-25 minutes. You’ll spend about 10 minutes preparing the ingredients and assembling the flatbreads, followed by 10-15 minutes of baking in the oven. Quick, easy, and oh-so-delicious!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While that’s heating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place your flatbreads on top. This makes clean-up a breeze!
2. Oil the Flatbreads:
Lightly brush the flatbreads with olive oil. This step will help them become nice and crispy in the oven!
3. Add the Cheese:
Now sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each flatbread. This will create a delicious, melty layer!
4. Layer on the Goodies:
Distribute the chopped kale (or spinach), chopped onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled bacon evenly over the cheese. Feel free to get creative by adding any other veggies you love!
5. Crack the Eggs:
Carefully crack two eggs onto each flatbread, making sure to space them out so the yolks remain intact. This will give you those beautiful, runny yolks after baking!
6. Season It Up:
Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the eggs and toppings to add a burst of flavor.
7. Bake to Perfection:
Now, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them: you want the egg whites set while the yolks stay runny, and the flatbreads crispy. Yum!
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Once baked, remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, and enjoy that lovely runny yolk goodness with each bite. Perfect for sharing… or not!

Can I Use Different Types of Flatbreads?
Absolutely! You can use pita bread, naan, or even a homemade flatbread. Just adjust the cooking time if you’re using a thinner variety to avoid burning.
What Can I Substitute for Eggs?
If you want a vegetarian option or need to avoid eggs, try scrambled tofu seasoned with turmeric for a similar look and taste, or use chickpea flour to make a flavorful egg substitute!
How Do I Store Leftover Flatbread?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes to restore that crispy texture.
Can I Make This Recipe Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can prep the flatbreads with toppings (without the eggs) a few hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake, then add the eggs when you’re ready to cook!
