Are you someone who just can't start the day without eggs? Make this bbq chicken puff pastry breakfast pizza with eggs!

We're not cooking everything in one go to keep the delicate pastry dough from getting soggy.

STEP 1: Gather the ingredients for your puff pastry breakfast pizza.
STEP 2: Thaw the puff pastry sheet to room temperature.
STEP 3: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.

STEP 7: Next, prick holes all over the puff pastry sheet with a fork.
STEP 8: Prepare the egg wash by scrambling the egg. Dip a pastry brush into the egg wash and brush the pastry sheet.
STEP 9: Place the puff pastry dough on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until it's golden brown.
STEP 10: As your puff pastry dough cooks, add some oil to the hot skillet.
STEP 11: Cook the chicken breast for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Keep the skillet covered.
STEP 12: Allow the chicken to cool, then chop it into the cubes.
STEP 13: Spread the bbq sauce on the puff pastry.
STEP 14: Arrange the pizza toppings. Place your cheese, chicken, and onions onto the puff pastry with bbq sauce.
