Why You’ll Love this Recipe
If you’ve never had breakfast pizza you’ve been missing out! You can find it in many variations, but my absolute favorite version is this everything bagel pizza recipe.
It has all the classic flavor of a lox bagel but features a “crust” of crescent roll dough. As a result, it’s great for feeding a crowd and quick to make.
In fact, with minimal prep time, it’s ready to eat in under 25 minutes and always turns out great. It’s sure to become a favorite breakfast option for holidays and weekend brunches!
Recipe Ingredients
- Crescent Rolls – Use two cans of original Crescent rolls with eight rolls per can.
- Greek Yogurt – I recommend using zero percent Greek yogurt for the base of the pizza topping. Fage is my favorite, but any brand you like best will work.
- Whipped Cream Cheese – Make sure to use whipped cream cheese, not brick-style cream cheese. Make sure it’s plain!
- Everything But the Bagel Seasoning – You can find pre-made everything but the bagel seasoning in most grocery stores, or make homemade everything but the bagel seasoning instead.
- Fresh Dill – A staple on Lox bagels, fresh dill is bright, grassy, and slightly sweet in flavor.
- Mayonnaise – This adds a nice tang and creates a smooth, creamy topping.
- Parmesan Cheese – For the best taste and texture, buy a block of parmesan cheese, and grate it yourself.
- Lox – If you’re unfamiliar, lox is a filet of salmon that has been cured in salt. It’s smooth and velvety in consistency with a rich, slightly buttery taste. If preferred, smoked salmon will also work.
- Capers – These enhance the briny, salty, savory flavor of the pizza.
- Red Onion – Diced finely, these add a bit of crunch and a tangy taste.
How to Make This Everything Bagel Pizza with Lox
- Prepare. Before you begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking tray with cooking oil spray. Use a paper towel to remove any excess. A thin layer is all you need! Alternatively, you can line the tray with parchment paper.
- Warm the dough. Let your crescent rolls sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before opening.
- Create the crust. Spread the rolls of crescent dough out on the baking sheet. Use your fingers to press the seams together, creating one flat sheet covering the entire tray.
- Bake. Transfer the crescent rolls to the oven, and bake until golden brown.
- Combine the cheese mixture. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, whipped cream cheese, parmesan cheese, fresh dill, everything but the bagel seasoning, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Top the breakfast pizza. Allow the baked crust to cool. Then, spread the cheese mixture evenly on top.
- Add the toppings. Sprinkle the red onion, capers, chopped dill, and lox evenly on top. Add extra everything but the bagel seasoning if desired.
- Serve. Cut your everything bagel pizza into squares. Serve at room temperature, or chill it in the fridge, and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days, and serve them chilled.
I don’t recommend it. The dairy won’t thaw well, and the pizza is likely to become soggy.
I haven’t tested it, but it should work. Just be sure to bake the pizza dough according to the package instructions.
