Wake up to Paleo Breakfast Pizza! Made with a simple coconut egg crust and topped with fresh veggies and cracked eggs, this is a perfect, easy meal for any time of day! Paleo + Gluten Free + Keto
Just letting you know, this post is sponsored by my friends over at Eggland's Best!
I swear eggs are the happiest food. How could you say no to a big, bright, happy yellow yolk smiling at you in the morning? You know there's a reason they call them sunny side up!
If you've been spying my part of the internet for awhile, then you know I kind of dig my eggs. Okay, so I L-O-V-E my eggs! My morning is not complete without them.
Growing up, my Mom made this breakfast pizza casserole. It was family tradition to have it with cinnamon rolls every holiday morning. It wasn't the healthiest of breakfast pizzas though which is why I haven't had one for a long time until now.
Sometimes it's hard to think about how I used to eat compared to how I eat now. Truthfully it feels like another life.
For a very long time, I've been trying to recreate those family traditions with a healthy breakfast pizza. The only problem was getting a crust recipe just right so it wouldn't crumble apart the second you picked up a slice to put it in your mouth. Good thing I like a challenge because this Paleo Breakfast Pizza crust is pure perfection!
The best part is it only take four magical ingredients to get that crust just right. From there, pizza making is a wiz! All you do is top it with your favorite ingredients, cook and voila. Pizza is made!
But whatever you do, you must, must, must put an egg on top. No excuses friends! A creamy, egg dripping slice of pizza is the absolute, best part about it. You want it. Trust me!
Leaving it off would be like taking the star out of the show and the star of this show is hands down thanks to Eggland's Best, my one an only egg of choice.
When it comes to eggs, I chose Eggland's Best for their superior nutrition. With 5 times the amount of Vitamin D and 3 times more Vitamin B12 than ordinary eggs, I choose Eggland's Best to give me the boost of nutrition I need. I've struggled for years with Vitamin B12 and D deficiencies so whenever I can get them extra nutrition through food I take it!
Eggland's Best eggs also have 25% less saturated fat. That's something very important to me. As you know, my Mom had six bypasses a few years ago and virtually every relative in my family has had some form of heart disease.
A diet lower in saturated fat is shown to reduce risk for cardiovascular disease along with a higher intake of omega-3's which have been shown to lower HDL cholesterol and Eggland's Best delivers double the omega-3's than ordinary eggs.
You can't go wrong topping your Paleo Breakfast Pizza with Eggland's Best! Not only will it yield you superior nutrition, but they've also been shown to stay fresher long than ordinary eggs.
That means you can feel confident eating leftovers. That is, if you can resist the urge not to devour the entire pizza. Enjoy!

Nutrition
What I Used For The Recipe
This may be a stupid question, but here goes...This recipe has 3 eggs cooked on top of the crust and other goodies. Eggs have protein, yet your nutritional stats show no protein, fat, or anything else, just 140 calories. What happened to whatever fat. protein, and carbs that are in the eggs? Why don't they show up in your nutritional stats? TIA
I think I mentioned this already in another comment that I hadn't calculated the nutritional values yet. The recipe cards were transferred over from an old version and didn't copy over the nutritional data only the calories. I have to manually update the nutritional data for recipes with them missing one by one which is pain-stakingly difficult and time consuming. In the meantime, you can calculate it yourself by going to an app like MyFitness Pal until I get through them all manually one-by-one.
The nutrition facts say 0 protein. Is that accurate based on the eggs? Also do you whip the egg whites for the crust until they’re stiff?
None of the nutritional facts are available at this time as it was recently converted from an old recipe card. We're working on getting them all updated with the new recipe cards. You can add the recipe to My Fitness Pal to calculate it. No, you do not whip the egg whites.
In all my recipes that call for coconut flour- it calls for a lot of fat and liquid. What makes this work without either of those? 🙂
There's a lot of eggs. That's why. 😉
Can you provide the rest of the nutrition information? the only thing above is calories and the rest says 0 for everything.
what do you do with all the egg yolks? -I don't want to throw them away -I'd rather use them in recipes.
That's up to you. I don't use egg yolks in anything, family history of high cholesterol. You could always use whole eggs in this recipe, just use half of what it calls for.
Looks delicious! Can't wait to give it a try.
Thanks Jill, I truly hope you love it!
I love pizza, and I love eggs. Putting them together sounds amazing! I bet I could add other veggies on top of this too and change it up a million different ways. I hope to try this soon!
It's definitely versatile. So many different things you could do with the base recipe. Have fun!
Finally a crust that looks easy enough for me to make! I cannot wait to try this 🙂
