One of the most common questions that I get asked is “What is my favorite kind of meal or food?”. Usually, I wouldn’t hesitate and say without a doubt that appetizers are my favorite kind of food. However, if you combine appetizers with breakfast foods I’m going to choose that every-single-time. How about you? Bacon, Egg, and Hash Brown Breakfast Flatbreads are the perfect combination of the two satisfying my love of breakfast and appetizers.
Making Flatbreads…
I’ve kind of been on a flatbread kick lately (here, here, and here) and undoubtedly I knew that I had to create a flatbread to satisfy my breakfast-loving self. Bacon, Egg, and Hash Brown Breakfast Flatbreads are made with my favorite flatbread recipe, topped with delicious center-cut bacon, eggs, Southwestern hash browns, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese. This recipe is also great for entertaining and is definitely a crowd-pleaser.
So a flatbread is just like a pizza, but in my opinion, the dough is so much easier to make. When I make pizza dough I let it rise overnight, but I only let my flatbread dough rise for about 45 minutes. There are two reasons why--I want the flatbread to be flat and also thin and crispy.
Grilling vs. Baking
Whenever I grill a flatbread the temperature I aim for is usually 500-550 ℉. It seems like a grill just seems to be hotter than an oven at this temperature. I usually always grill my flatbreads so I don’t often precook my crust, but you can precook it if you are baking the flatbread (450-500℉) and don’t want your toppings to overcook. You would precook your dough if you are using pre-cooked toppings. If grilling, just top with your ingredients and grill away. Whenever I grill a flatbread I place the dough directly on the grill, but I always use a preheated baking stone in the oven.

Make the dough according to recipe instructions. Preheat the grill to 500℉ while waiting for the dough to rise.
Once the dough has risen, punch the dough down to release any air and divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface with floured hands work, work with 1/2 of the dough at a time and start spreading the dough until it is 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the second piece of dough. Place the finished dough on a pizza peel.
Combine the mozzarella and cheddar cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and crushed red pepper. Spread 1/4 cup of the cheese on each flatbread. Top with the crumbled bacon, hash browns, and remaining cheese. Place the flatbreads on the grill and then add the eggs.
Cook for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the eggs are cooked until your desired level of doneness. Slice and serve warm.
