This Breakfast Flatbread is a fun and tasty way to start your day! Made with flatbread topped with eggs, cheese, and your favorite breakfast goodies, it’s super satisfying.
I love how easy it is to make! You can use any leftover veggies or meats you have. Plus, it’s perfect for those busy mornings when you want something delicious but quick!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Flatbread: You can use store-bought flatbread for convenience or make your own from scratch with flour and water. Pita bread or naan are great substitutes too!
Bacon: If you’re looking for a healthier option, turkey bacon or plant-based bacon works well. You can also skip it for a vegetarian version and add more veggies instead.
Cheese: Mozzarella is my favorite for its meltiness, but feel free to use cheddar or a vegan cheese alternative for a tasty twist.
Veggies: Red onions and tomatoes add great flavor, but you can substitute with bell peppers, mushrooms, or any vegetable you have. Don’t be afraid to get creative!
Herbs: Fresh cilantro or parsley will elevate the flavor, but chives or green onions would also be delightful. Dried herbs can work in a pinch too.
How Do I Perfectly Cook Eggs on Flatbread?
Cooking eggs perfectly on flatbread can be tricky! You want them to be set, but the yolks should still be runny. Here’s my method:
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Carefully crack two eggs into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are mostly set; the yolks will remain runny.
- Use a spatula to gently transfer the eggs to the flatbreads, placing them right in the center.
Timing is key here; keep an eye on the eggs to get that perfect cook without overdoing them!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious Breakfast Flatbread will take about 15 minutes to prepare and 8-10 minutes to bake, making it a quick and easy breakfast option. So in total, you’re looking at around 25 minutes from start to finish!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prep the Oven and Bacon:
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven heats up, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s crispy. Once done, remove the bacon and let it drain on some paper towels. After it cools down a bit, chop it into smaller pieces.
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet and Flatbreads:
Take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper or lightly grease it so the flatbreads won’t stick. Lay the flatbreads on the baking sheet, ready for topping!
3. Add Some Cheese:
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each flatbread. This will create a delicious, melty base for your toppings!
4. Layer on the Goodies:
Next, add the sliced red onion, tomato, chopped spinach, and crumbled bacon on top of the cheese. Feel free to get creative with the amount of each topping based on your preference!
5. Cook the Eggs:
In a nonstick skillet, add a little olive oil or butter over medium heat. Carefully crack two eggs into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes until the whites start to set, but the yolks should still be runny.
6. Assemble and Bake:
Using a spatula, gently place one egg onto the center of each flatbread. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Now, transfer the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges of the flatbreads are crisp and the cheese is bubbling.
7. Finishing Touches:
When they’re done baking, carefully remove them from the oven. Sprinkle some fresh cilantro or parsley on top, then slice your flatbreads into pieces!
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Enjoy your savory Breakfast Flatbread as a fantastic morning meal! Pair it with a glass of fresh orange juice for a refreshing touch.
Happy cooking, and enjoy your delicious and filling Breakfast Flatbread!
Can I Use Different Types of Flatbread?
Absolutely! This recipe works well with various types of flatbreads such as pita, naan, or homemade versions. Just adjust the cooking time slightly if your flatbread is thicker or thinner.
How Can I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the flatbread in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or use the microwave, but be cautious not to overcook the eggs.
Can I Make It Vegetarian?
Yes! Simply omit the bacon and consider adding more veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini. You can also sprinkle some feta cheese for added flavor.
How Can I Adjust the Egg Doneness?
If you prefer firmer yolks, cook the eggs a little longer in the skillet until the whites and yolks are fully cooked. Just be mindful that this will change the texture of the dish slightly!
