Breakfast Pizza Ingredients
- 2 8-ounce cans crescent roll dough
- 1 pound pork sausage, cooked and drained
- 2 cups hashbrowns, thawed
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack
How to Make Breakfast Pizza
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Press the crescent roll dough into a parchment-lined jelly roll pan (I use this jelly roll pan), pressing it up the sides and pinching all the seams together.
- Top the crescent roll dough with the cooked sausage, followed by thawed hashbrowns.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper and pour evenly over the sausage and hashbrowns.
- Top with shredded cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes or until egg is set in the middle.
- Enjoy!
Customize It
This breakfast pizza is totally customizeable. Don’t like sausage? Use ham or bacon instead. Want to cut down on cholesterol? Replace the six eggs with 1 1/2 cups Egg Beaters.
Want to mix up the cheeses? Try any combination of mozzarella, cheddar, pepper jack, monterey jack, provolone, parmesan, gruyere or Provel. Pretty much any melty cheese works well. Also, freshly grated cheese works better than packaged grated cheese.
Any and all vegetables work well on this pizza. I typically saute the veggies for a few minutes before adding them to the pizza so they’re tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use a different type of crust for the breakfast pizza? Absolutely. While we recommend using a crust made from crescent roll dough, you can experiment with alternatives like regular pizza crust dough, whole wheat crust or even cauliflower crust.
- How can I make the breakfast pizza vegetarian-friendly? Making a vegetarian version is super simple. Simply omit the sausage and load up on your favorite veggies like onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, olives and zucchini for a delicious meat-free alternative.
- Can I prepare the toppings in advance and store them? Definitely. Preparing the toppings ahead of time and storing them in airtight containers in the refrigerator makes the morning assembly even quicker and more convenient.
- I have a lactose intolerance. Can I use dairy-free cheese? Of course. There are plenty of dairy-free cheese options that are suitable substitutes for regular cheese.
- Can I freeze the breakfast pizza for later consumption? While it’s best to enjoy the pizza fresh, you can freeze leftovers. Tightly wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe container for up to one month. To reheat, thaw and then simply pop them in the oven or microwave until heated through.
- How do I reheat leftover breakfast pizza? Reheating is easy! Simply place thawed pizza slices on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy. Or simply pop them in the oven until heated through.
- What can I serve with the breakfast pizza to complete the meal? Pair the breakfast pizza with fresh fruit or crispy hash browns for a balanced and satisfying morning meal.
- Can kids help in making the breakfast pizza? Yes, kids can have a blast making breakfast pizza. Assign age-appropriate tasks like whisking eggs, sprinkling cheese or arranging toppings to make it a fun and educational family cooking experience.
- Can I make mini breakfast pizzas for a brunch party? Yes, mini breakfast pizzas are a hit at brunch gatherings! Use smaller pieces of crescent roll dough or pizza dough and let guests customize their own toppings for a personalized breakfast treat. Be mindful that you will likely need to adjust baking temperature and time depending on the size.
