Make-ahead, storage, and freezer tips
Storage - Breakfast bagel pizzas will last for about 3 days stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Make sure that they have cooled completely before adding them to the fridge.
Make Ahead - Breakfast pizza bagels can be made up to a day ahead. Reheat when you are ready to eat.
Reheating - Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes or in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 2-3 minutes.
Breakfast Pizza Bagels - These Breakfast Bagels are so easy to freeze. Once made, place them on a large sheet pan in the freezer to par-freeze for at least 30 minutes. This step ensures they will not stick together in the freezer.
The egg pizza bagels can be placed in freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months.
The egg pizza bagels can be cooked from frozen or defrosted overnight in the refrigerator.
Eileen's Tips for Success
- Lining a baking sheet with parchment paper will prevent the breakfast ham, egg bagels from sticking to the pan. This makes for an easy clean-up.
- If using leftover ham, slice it thin or dice it into cubes to top the ham egg breakfast pizzas.
- Watch the egg pizza bagels closely while they are in the oven; they don't need long in the oven.
Variations to making Breakfast Pizza Bagels
Do you want to change up this recipe?
- Vegetables: Use our veggie egg scramble for extra nutrients, peppers, mushrooms, and leftover broccoli or asparagus; all will work well.
- Protein: Instead of ham, use cooked sausage, bacon, chorizo, or turkey bacon.
- Cheese: Switch out whatever type of cheese you have on hand. Mozzarella, cheddar cheese, or even pepper jack for a little heat would work great.
- Traditional Pizza Bagel: Use marinara sauce or pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. Top with prosciutto and a fried egg for a traditional pizza-style breakfast.
- Seasoning: Make this a bit Tex-Mex with Pico de Gallo, Guacamole, and Mexican cheese.
- Gravy: If you want gravy for the egg bagel pizzas, make a batch of breakfast gravy and use that as the base on top of your bagels.
