There are breakfast recipes you make because you have to eat, and then there are breakfast recipes you can’t wait to wake up for. This puff pastry breakfast pizza? Absolutely the latter. Buttery, flaky pastry filled with creamy herbed cheese, melty sharp cheddar, crispy bacon, and a whole baked egg right in the middle. It’s giving brunch dreams—but made in under 30 minutes. I whipped these up for a weekend at my home café, and they were the first thing gone. People were genuinely shocked when I told them how simple they were to make. This is one of those sneaky-easy recipes that looks fancy and tastes gourmet.
Ingredients:
Puff Pastry:
The flaky, buttery base. It puffs up beautifully in the oven and makes this recipe feel fancy without the effort. Store-bought, but no one needs to know.Eggs:
One whole egg cracked into the center of each pizza gives you that satisfying brunch-y bite. You can bake them runny, jammy, or fully set depending on preference.White Cheddar:
Shred it yourself for best melt and flavor! It adds a sharp contrast to the creamy Boursin and rich egg.Garlic & Herb Boursin:
This soft, spreadable cheese adds tang, flavor, and a super creamy center. Don’t skip it!Bacon:
Cooked until crispy and chopped small so you get a little in every bite. Adds smoky, salty goodness.Everything But the Bagel Seasoning:
For that bagel-shop flavor and crunch on the edges. It’s like a built-in flavor bomb crust.Egg Wash + Cream:
The egg wash makes those puff pastry edges golden and beautiful. The cream adds a little luxe factor (optional but recommended).

Easy Puff Pastry Breakfast Pizzas with Cheddar, Boursin & Bacon
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry I used Jus-Rol brand
- 16 large eggs
- 8 oz white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 oz garlic & herb Boursin cheese
- 4 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked and chopped
- 2 tbsp Everything But the Bagel seasoning
- 1 egg for egg wash
- 1 tbsp heavy cream optional, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out your puff pastry and cut each sheet into 8 equal rectangles (16 total).
- Score a border ½ inch from the edge of each rectangle (don’t cut all the way through). This will help create a raised crust.
- Make egg wash: Beat one egg with 1 tbsp heavy cream (if using). Brush onto the scored edges.
- Sprinkle the edges with Everything But the Bagel seasoning.
- Bake pastry for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook and chop your bacon.
- Remove pastry from oven and use the back of a spoon to gently press down the center of each one to create a “well.”
- Add filling: Place 1 tsp Boursin cheese in each center. Surround it with a ring of shredded white cheddar.
- Crack an egg into each center well. (Tip: Crack into a small bowl first to prevent shell issues!)
- Top with bacon crumbles.
- Bake again for 10–14 minutes, until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Cool slightly and serve warm!
