Recipe Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 large artisan flatbread or pizza-style flatbread (or 2 naan flatbreads)
1 tbsp olive oil
¾ cup shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
⅓ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and roughly chopped
1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp sea salt, divided
¼ tsp black pepper
4 large eggs
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat and prepare:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the flatbread on the pan and lightly brush the edges with olive oil to help them crisp beautifully.

2. Sauté the vegetables:
Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until lightly golden and their moisture cooks off. Add the cherry tomatoes and red onion, then cook for 1–2 minutes just until slightly softened. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Build the flatbreads:
Spread small dollops of ricotta over the flatbread. Then sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Top with the mushroom mixture and chopped bacon. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and remaining salt and pepper.

4. Crisp the base first:
Bake for 5–6 minutes until the cheese begins melting and the flatbread edges start turning lightly golden. This step helps prevent a soft center.

5. Add the eggs:
Carefully remove the tray from the oven. Using the back of a spoon, gently make small wells in the toppings. Crack 4 eggs evenly over the flatbread. If using 2 naan flatbreads, add 2 eggs per flatbread, spacing them apart so they bake evenly.

6. Finish baking:
Return to the oven and bake for 9–10 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness. If using 2 naan flatbreads, start checking closer to 6–8 minutes, as they may finish faster. For fully cooked eggs, the center should reach 160°F.

7. Garnish and serve:
Immediately sprinkle with fresh chives and optional red pepper flakes. Slice and serve warm while the cheese is melty, the crust is crisp, and the eggs are still luscious.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Use naan for the best texture: Naan creates a soft interior with crisp edges, making this Breakfast Flatbread feel extra satisfying and bakery-style.
• Pre-bake before adding eggs: Although tempting to add everything at once, partially baking first keeps the center crisp and prevents soggy flatbread.
• Watch the eggs closely near the end: Eggs can go from jammy to firm quickly. Start checking at 6 minutes and remove once the whites are set but the yolks still jiggle slightly for the best texture.
