Your New Favorite Morning Meal
This breakfast pizza is a total game-changer. It combines all your favorite morning foods. You get a delicious, filling meal in one slice. It is perfect for a busy weekend or special brunch.
Step 1 Heat your oven to 375°F. Press the crescent roll dough into a pan. Make sure to form a good edge to hold everything. (A hard-learned tip: use a cast iron skillet for a crispier crust).
Step 2 Spread the cooked sausage and bacon on the dough. Add the thawed hash brown potatoes next. Cover everything with a generous layer of shredded cheese.
Step 3 Whisk the eggs with milk and your spices. Pour this mixture carefully over the pizza toppings. The crust edge will keep the liquid from spilling over.
Step 4 Bake for about 25 minutes. It is done when the eggs are set and the crust is golden. Let it cool for five minutes before you slice it. Top with fresh chives for a nice finish.

Keeping Your Breakfast Pizza Fresh
Store any leftovers in the fridge. They will keep for up to three days. Reheat slices in the toaster oven for best results. This keeps the crust crispy. You can also freeze the whole pizza for later. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. My grandkids love finding this in my freezer. It makes a busy morning feel special. Why does this matter? A good breakfast sets a positive tone for your entire day. Do you prefer sweet or savory breakfasts most days?
Simple Fixes for Common Hiccups
Is your crust soggy? Pre-bake it for five minutes first. This creates a strong barrier. If the eggs are not setting, bake it a bit longer. Check that the center is firm. Did your crust burn? Use a pizza pan or stone. It spreads the heat more evenly. A little troubleshooting makes every recipe better. Why does this matter? Cooking confidence comes from solving small problems. What’s your biggest kitchen frustration?
Your Breakfast Pizza Questions
Can I make this gluten-free? Yes, use a gluten-free pizza crust instead. Press it into your pan.
Can I prepare it the night before? Absolutely. Assemble the whole pizza and cover it. Keep it chilled until morning.
What are some easy ingredient swaps? Try ham instead of sausage. Use cheddar or pepper jack cheese.
How do I double this recipe? Make two pizzas on separate pans. You might need more baking time.
Can I add vegetables? Of course. Diced bell peppers or onions work great. Just sauté them first.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Using a 12-inch pizza tray or cast iron pan, separate the crescent rolls into triangles, meeting in the middle to form a circle and then spread out using your fingers, forming a crust about ½ inch up to hold all of the fixings in.
- Spoon the cooked sausage, bacon, and hash brown potatoes on the crust. Top with shredded cheese. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt and black pepper. Pour the raw egg mixture over the cheese (this is why it is necessary to build that rimmed crust).
- Bake for 25-27 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the eggs are set.
- Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped chives, slicing and serving.
