Easy Air Fryer Breakfast Pizza Recipe
Pizza for breakfast just makes sense when the air fryer can pull it together this fast. Air fryer breakfast pizza uses simple ingredients but still delivers a gooey cheesy topping and a perfectly flakey crust in one quick recipe. It’s the kind of meal that feels fun yet practical, especially when you need a kids and family friendly breakfast without extra cleanup.
I played around with different crust options before landing on this version, and the texture finally came out just right. If you’ve tried my air fryer candied bacon, this recipe brings that same easy approach, just in a shareable, slice-and-serve format everyone can enjoy.

Easy Air Fryer Breakfast Pizza Recipe
Air Fryer Breakfast Pizza
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs scrambled
- 1 dough sheet
- 1 Tablespoon green onions chopped
- 4 cherry tomatoes halved
- 3 pieces bacon cooked, crumbled
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Lightly scramble the eggs in a pan over medium heat until just set. Do not overcook them, they will finish cooking in the air fryer. Set aside.
- Roll out the dough sheet on a lightly floured surface to fit your air fryer basket. If needed, trim slightly so it sits flat without touching the sides.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes.
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket. Place the dough into the basket and gently press it flat.
- Pre-bake the crust at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes. This prevents a soggy center once toppings are added.
- Spread the lightly scrambled eggs evenly over the partially baked crust.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly across the top.
- Add the crumbled bacon, cherry tomato halves, and chopped green onions.
- Return the pizza to the air fryer and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden underneath.
- Remove carefully and let rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing. This helps the cheese set and makes slicing easier.
Notes
- Always pre-cook eggs slightly to avoid excess moisture.
- Pre-baking the crust is key for a crisp bottom.
- If your air fryer runs hot, check at the 5-minute mark during the final cook.
- For extra browning, add 1–2 additional minutes at the end.

How Do You Prevent Soggy Crust in an Air Fryer?
Soggy crust usually happens because of too much moisture. Air fryers cook with strong circulating heat. But if the base is wet, it won’t crisp.
First, preheat the air fryer. A hot basket helps set the bottom crust fast.
Second, avoid heavy sauce. Spread a thin layer only. Too much sauce soaks into the dough.
If you use vegetables, cook them first. Mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes release water. Pre-cook and drain them before adding.
Do not overload toppings. Thick layers block airflow and trap steam.
You can also pre-cook the crust for 2–3 minutes before adding toppings. This creates a firm base and helps prevent sogginess.
How Do You Store and Reheat Breakfast Pizza?
Let the pizza cool fully before storing. Trapped heat creates moisture, and that softens the crust.
Wrap slices tightly or place them in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
To reheat, use the air fryer. Set it to 350°F (175°C). Heat for 3–5 minutes. This keeps the crust crisp and warms the center evenly.
Avoid the microwave if you care about texture. It makes the crust soft and chewy.
Reheat only what you plan to eat. Repeated reheating dries out eggs and cheese.
Can You Cook Raw Eggs on Pizza in an Air Fryer?
Yes, you can. But timing matters.
Crack the egg directly onto the pizza before cooking. Make a small space in the toppings so the egg stays in place.
Cook at 325–350°F (160–175°C). Lower heat works better. High heat can overcook the crust before the egg sets.
Check around the 6–8 minute mark. The white should look fully set. The yolk can stay runny or cook longer if you prefer it firm.
If you want more control, you can partially bake the crust first. Then add the egg and finish cooking.
Watch closely near the end. Eggs cook fast in an air fryer.
