Make your Easter brunch egg-stra special by serving this adorable Breakfast Pizza Chick made with scrambled eggs, ham, and cheese. It is super easy to decorate using orange peppers and black olives.
I had so much fun creating this adorable egg-shaped breakfast pizza chick and I think it would be the perfect dish to serve for Easter brunch, a baby shower, or a Sunday morning breakfast.
It will look great served with Hatching Chick Hard Boiled Eggs, Bunny Feet Deviled Eggs, and Crescent Roll Carrots filled with egg salad.
To make this breakfast pizza chick you'll start by cutting pizza dough into a giant egg shape before topping it with a bit of pizza sauce and your favorite pizza toppings. I chose to use ham and cheese but bacon, sausage, or veggies work great too.
Then the vibrantly yellow scrambled eggs go on top before adding two black olive eyes and an orange pepper beak and feat.
Ingredients
- black olives - Two jumbo olives will be used as the eyes.
- orange bell pepper
- store-bought pizza dough or homemade pizza dough
- Eggs
- half-and-half
- salt and pepper
- butter
- pizza sauce
- ham or bacon cut into small pieces
- shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Supplies
non-stick tin foil-lined baking sheet
pizza cutter
Instructions
BREAKFAST PIZZA CHICK
Roll out the pizza dough onto a baking sheet that is lined with non-stick tin foil or tin foil that is sprayed with baking spray.
Cut the dough into a giant egg. Cut the remaining dough into long ¼-inch to ½-inch strips and place them around the outer edge of the egg.
Bake at 400 degrees F. until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Then, top with pizza sauce, ham, and cheese and bake just until the cheese melts.
Make scrambled eggs and sprinkle them on top.
Cut out two feet and a beak from orange peppers and arrange them along with two olive eyes on the Breakfast Pizza Chick.
It's ready to serve.
Tips
- Adding an egg yolk to the scrambled eggs will add a nice richness, so don't just through the extra egg white back into the mix.
- If needed, you can assemble the pizza and then reheat it when ready to serve. It is very important that you not overcook the eggs if you plan to do this.
- I added the edge around the pizza crust to hold all the toppings inside. It helps, but you can leave it off if you prefer.
- If you add pepper to your eggs, you will have black flecks in your chick. You may want to simply add a pepper shaker to the table.
Variations
You can make a Breakfast Pizza Bunny for Easter instead or in addition to the Breakfast Pizza Chick. The bunny is topped with cheese to make it look furry. They'd look so cute together on your Easter brunch table.

I would definitely have to have sausage and bacon crumbles on top with the eggs.
Twila Hosford says
I would stir fry some finely diced celery and onion in a separate pan then scrambled the eggs with that mixture. Then I would add more sliced black olives, pan fried sausage and shredded pepper jack cheese on the top of it! Serve with sliced tomatoes and avocados on the side (and possibly some antacid as well) LOL!
Susan Christy says

I really like to add a little sage to my eggs so I could see using Sage leaves to give a little definition to make wings? Or at least the suggestion of them.
