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
-
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
-
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
-
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.
-
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).
-
Assemble the pizza: Spread sausage gravy or ricotta evenly over the dough. Layer with scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage, mozzarella, and cheddar.
-
Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil for a golden finish.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
-
Let rest for 2 minutes, slice, and serve hot. Top with green onions or hot sauce if desired.
