This Breakfast Flatbread is a fun, easy meal to start your day! It features crispy flatbread topped with eggs, cheese, and your choice of tasty veggies or meaty treats.
Mornings are busy, but making this is a breeze! I love to toss everything on and bake it quick. Plus, it’s a hit with the whole family—who doesn’t love breakfast on bread? 🍳
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Flatbreads: Pre-made flatbreads are great for this recipe. You can also use pita or naan bread if that’s what you have on hand. I like using whole wheat for a healthier option.
Bacon: If you’re looking for a healthier or vegetarian choice, try turkey bacon or cook up some mushrooms instead. They add a nice umami flavor!
Cheese: Mozzarella and cheddar work well together, but you can use whatever cheese you have! Feta adds a nice tang, or swap for pepper jack if you want a kick.
Greens: Fresh spinach or kale is perfect here, but you can replace them with arugula or even sautéed bell peppers for a different taste.
How Do I Bake the Perfect Egg on Flatbread?
Getting the eggs just right can be tricky. You want them to be cooked but still runny for that creamy texture. Here’s how to do it:
- Preheat your oven properly to ensure even cooking. 425°F is perfect!
- Keep an eye on the baking time—10-12 minutes usually does the trick. If you can, check at the 8-minute mark.
- If you’re unsure, you can bake the flatbreads with everything minus the eggs for 5 minutes first, then add the eggs.
This way, you’ll get nicely cooked whites and perfectly runny yolks. Don’t rush this step for the best flavor!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious Breakfast Flatbread takes about 15 minutes to prepare and around 10-12 minutes to bake. In just under 30 minutes, you can enjoy a hearty and satisfying breakfast!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Oven:
First, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is super important for getting that nice crispy flatbread. While that heats, lightly oil a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to make cleanup easy.
2. Assemble the Flatbread:
Lay the flatbreads on your prepared baking sheet. Then, brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil to keep them from getting too dry while baking.
3. Add the Cheese and Toppings:
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the tops of the flatbreads. After that, scatter the chopped spinach or kale and the cooked bacon pieces on top of the cheese. It’s looking good already!
4. Crack the Eggs:
Now comes the fun part! Carefully crack 2 eggs onto each flatbread, making sure to space them out. Season the eggs with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper to enhance their flavor.
5. Bake It:
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the edges of the flatbread are golden brown and the egg whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny—yum!
6. Garnish and Serve:
Once baked, remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool for a minute. If you like, drizzle some sour cream or yogurt on top. Finally, sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and flavor!
7. Enjoy!
Slice up your warm Breakfast Flatbreads and serve them with your favorite drink, like fresh juice or coffee. They’re perfect for a cozy morning or brunch with friends!
Enjoy this hearty and delicious breakfast that combines crispy bread, cheesy goodness, savory bacon, fresh greens, and perfectly cooked eggs! 🍳
Can I Use Different Types of Bread for This Recipe?
Absolutely! If you don’t have flatbreads, you can use naan, pita, or even a sliced baguette. Just adjust the baking time as needed since different breads may cook at different rates.
What If I Don’t Eat Bacon?
No problem at all! You can substitute bacon with turkey bacon, cooked sausage, or even skip the meat altogether and load up on more veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Leftover flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
Can I Prepare the Toppings Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can chop the vegetables and cook the bacon a day in advance. Just assemble and bake when you’re ready to enjoy your breakfast for a quick and easy meal.
