Mexican Breakfast Puff Pastry Pizza

This Mexican breakfast puff pastry pizza is a twist on my first recipe for this blog—breakfast puff pastry pizza with bacon, eggs, and cheddar. It replaces the bacon with chorizo, cheddar with a Mexican blend of cheeses, and the scallions with jalapeños for a kick of heat.

This is the perfect recipe for a weekend breakfast and you can remove or replace any of the ingredients—just don’t overdo it or the toppings might be too heavy for the puff pastry. If you don’t have any heavy cream, you can replace it with an extra egg.

One tip: Don’t thaw the puff pastry too early or it won’t rise. You should place in the fridge to thaw overnight or thaw it on the counter for a couple of hours in the morning. Enjoy!

Mexican breakfast puff pastry pizza

Servings: 4

An easy go-to breakfast recipe with jalapeños, chorizo, and Mexican cheeses on a puff pastry crust.

Ingredients

what ingredients you need to make Mexican breakfast puff pastry pizza

• 1 puff pastry sheet (thawed)
• 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 2 links of chorizo (about 3.5 oz)
• 2 jalapeños
• 5 eggs
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• salt and pepper

Instructions

how to make Mexican breakfast puff pastry pizza

1. preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. roll out the puff pastry with a rolling pin to fit your sheet pan.
3. place puff pastry on greased sheet pan (or line with parchment paper) and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. (this is important because it allows the crust to rise and start cooking before you add toppings.)
4. meanwhile, slice the jalapeños and remove seeds.
5. remove the casing from chorizo and crumble.
6. mix eggs with heavy cream, salt and pepper.
7. when the pastry is ready, take out and use a fork to carefully flatten the pastry from the middle to the edge to create a crust. (don’t skip this or your egg mixture will spill on your pan!)
8. evenly spread the cheese.
9. slowly pour the egg mixture to cover the cheese.
10. top with jalapeños then chorizo.
11. return to the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
12. cool and then use a pizza cutter to make eight slices.

Notes

Tip: Don't let your puff pastry defrost for too long or it won't rise properly in the oven. You should only defrost overnight in the fridge or on the counter for an hour or two before cooking. Double check the package's instructions to be safe.
