How to Make Breakfast Naan Pizzas (2 Ways!)
Making these Breakfast Naan Pizzas involves prepping the toppings for each version and then assembling and baking:
Prep Oven and Naan Base (Common Step)
- First, I preheat my oven to 375°F (190°C).
- I prepare the naan base. I drizzle each piece of naan bread with about 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, a few cracks of black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
- I place the seasoned naan on a foil-lined baking sheet (foil helps with cleanup!) and bake for 5 minutes just to slightly crisp the base. I remove it from the oven while I prepare the toppings.
Make Topping #1 (Garlic Mushroom Spinach White Cheddar)
- While the naan pre-bakes, I heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- I add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- I add the sliced mushrooms and a few cracks of black pepper. I cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are cooked down and lightly browned.
- I add the handful of baby spinach and a pinch of salt, and cook for another minute or so, just until the spinach wilts. I set this mixture aside.
Make Topping #2 (Kale Bacon Burrata)
- (I assume bacon is already cooked and crumbled here, saving some grease). In a skillet (can be the same one, wiped clean if needed), I add about 1 tablespoon of reserved bacon grease (or olive oil if preferred/no bacon).
- I preheat the skillet to medium-high heat and add the minced garlic. I sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- I add the chopped kale and sauté for another minute or until it wilts down. I set this mixture aside.
Assemble and Bake Pizza #1 (Mushroom Spinach)
- I take one of the pre-baked naan bases. I top it with half of the grated white cheddar cheese.
- I spread the cooked mushroom and spinach mixture evenly over the cheese.
- I top with the rest of the white cheddar cheese.
- I place this pizza back on the baking sheet and bake for 3 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
- Then, I turn the oven broiler to high and broil for another 2 minutes, watching very carefully, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to get golden spots.
- I remove it from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh chives and a pinch of red pepper flakes, and top with a freshly cooked egg (sunny side up is great!).
Assemble and Bake Pizza #2 (Kale Bacon Burrata)
- I take the second pre-baked naan base. I top it with the sautéed kale mixture.
- Then, I tear the fresh burrata cheese into pieces and place them evenly over the kale.
- I sprinkle the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and the crumbled cooked bacon over the burrata and kale.
- I place this pizza on the baking sheet and bake for 3 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
- I turn the oven broiler to high and broil for another 2 minutes, watching very carefully, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- I remove it from the oven and top with a freshly cooked egg.

Tips and Tricks for the BEST Breakfast Pizzas
Here are my secrets for making perfect Breakfast Naan Pizzas:
- Pre-Bake the Naan: Giving the naan a quick 5-minute bake before adding toppings helps ensure the crust gets nicely warmed and slightly crisp, preventing sogginess.
- Don’t Overcrowd Toppings: While generous toppings are great, don’t pile them too high, or they might not heat through evenly before the crust burns under the broiler.
- Watch the Broiler!: Broilers work incredibly fast! Stay right by the oven during the broiling step to ensure the cheese gets perfectly melted and golden without burning.
- Fresh Herbs Make a Difference: Using fresh chives or other herbs as garnish adds a pop of freshness.
- Cook Egg Separately: Cooking the egg (fried, poached, etc.) separately and adding it at the end ensures a perfectly cooked egg with a runny yolk (if desired!).
How to Serve
These Breakfast Naan Pizzas are best served immediately while warm and the cheese is gooey! Serve them:
- For Weekend Brunch: A fun and impressive main course.
- For Breakfast-for-Dinner: A satisfying and quick weeknight meal.
- Cut into Wedges: Slice them into smaller wedges to serve as appetizers for a crowd.
Serve hot, topped with that perfect egg!
Make Ahead and Storage
These pizzas are best enjoyed fresh, but components can be prepped:
- Toppings: Sauté the mushroom/spinach mixture and the kale mixture up to 2 days ahead; store covered in the fridge. Cook bacon ahead.
- Assembly: Assemble and bake just before serving for the best results.
- Storage: Store leftover baked pizza slices covered in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
- Reheating: Reheat slices gently in a toaster oven, regular oven, or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through. Avoid the microwave if possible, as it can make the crust chewy. Reheat or cook a fresh egg separately.
FAQs about Breakfast Naan Pizzas
- Can I use different flatbreads?
- Yes! Pita bread (use thicker ones), small pre-baked pizza crusts, or even sturdy tortillas could work as a base, though baking times might vary slightly.
- Can I make these vegetarian?
- Absolutely! The mushroom-spinach version is already vegetarian. For the other, simply omit the bacon and use olive oil to sauté the kale. Maybe add some crumbled feta or extra veggies.
- What if I can’t find burrata?
- Fresh mozzarella (torn into pieces) is a good substitute for burrata, though it won’t have the same ultra-creamy interior.
Enjoy these delicious, easy, and fun Breakfast Naan Pizzas! They’re a perfect way to switch up your brunch routine.

Notes
- Naan Bread: Use store-bought plain or garlic naan bread. Pita bread can also be substituted.
- Egg: Cook your egg separately just before the pizza comes out of the oven so it’s nice and warm. Sunny-side up or fried with a runny yolk is delicious!
- Cheese: Freshly grating your cheese yields the best melting results. Feel free to substitute cheeses (e.g., mozzarella for white cheddar or burrata).
- Broiling: Keep a very close eye on the pizzas under the broiler, as they can go from golden to burnt very quickly.
- Storage: These breakfast pizzas are best enjoyed fresh.
