Description

Sausage Breakfast Pizza is the ultimate savory way to start your morning — a golden, crispy crust layered with creamy sauce or cheese, crumbled breakfast sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melty cheese. It’s hearty, customizable, and perfect for weekend brunches, meal prep, or breakfast-for-dinner nights.

 

 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1/2 cup sausage gravy or 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (as sauce base)

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (pork, turkey, or plant-based)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing crust)

  • Optional toppings: green onions, diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes, hot sauce


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

  2. Prepare the dough: Roll or stretch out your dough on a lightly floured surface into a 10–12 inch round. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza peel lined with parchment.

  3. Scramble the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Cook gently in a skillet over low heat until just set (don’t overcook — they’ll finish in the oven).

  4. Assemble the pizza: Spread sausage gravy or ricotta evenly over the dough. Layer with scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage, mozzarella, and cheddar.

  5. Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil for a golden finish.

  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  7. Let rest for 2 minutes, slice, and serve hot. Top with green onions or hot sauce if desired.

Notes

You can use crescent dough or flatbread as a shortcut. For a spicy version, add jalapeños or spicy sausage. Make it ahead by pre-baking the crust and assembling in the morning. This pizza also works great with bacon, ham, or veggie sausage crumbles.
