Leftover pizza for breakfast is fine, but freshly baked pizza with breakfast toppings is so much better. Roll out refrigerated pizza dough and top it with cheese sauce or olive oil with garlic. For a supreme breakfast pizza, cover the top with sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, vegetables, and cheese. If you'd like a lighter pizza, top the pizza with bacon, fresh mozzarella, and whole eggs.

EditSteps
EditSausage and Scrambled Egg Breakfast Pizza
- Preheat the oven to and spray a pan with cooking spray. Get out a round pizza pan or a rectangular baking sheet. Spray the pan or sheet with nonstick cooking spray.[1]
- Spraying the pan will prevent the pizza from sticking to it.
- If you don't have cooking spray, drizzle a little olive oil over the pan. You can then brush the oil with a pastry brush for even coverage.
- Roll out the dough and place it on the pan. Open a 13.8-ounce (391 g) can of refrigerated classic pizza crust and use your hands to stretch it out to a circle. If you prefer, use a rolling pin to make the dough fit the round pizza pan.[2]
- If you're using a rectangular sheet, roll the dough to the circle and place it on the center of the sheet.
- Cook the sausage for 5 to 7 minutes over medium-high heat. Put of ground breakfast sausage into a skillet and turn the burner to medium-high. Cook the sausage until it's completely browned and break up the meat with your spoon as you stir. Then transfer the sausage to a bowl.[3]
- If you can't find ground breakfast sausage, take breakfast sausage links and split open the casings. Then squeeze the sausage into a skillet.
- Sauté the onion and peppers for 3 to 5 minutes. Put 1 tablespoon (14 g) of unsalted butter into the skillet that you used to cook the sausage and turn the burner down to medium. Add 1/2 cup (75 g) of diced yellow onion, 1/4 cup (45 g) of diced green bell pepper, and 1/4 cup (45 g) of diced red bell pepper. Cook the vegetables until they soften just a little and then turn off the burner.
- Stir the vegetables occasionally to prevent them from sticking.[4]
- If the sausage released more than of grease that's still in the pan, you don't need to add butter to the skillet.
- Scramble the eggs until they're just set. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and keep the burner on medium. Pour 5 beaten eggs into the skillet and season them with salt and pepper according to your taste. Stir the eggs frequently and cook them until they're soft and barely set.[5]
- Don't cook the eggs until they're completely firm since they'll cook even more in the oven.
- Spread cheese sauce, sausage, vegetables, and eggs over the dough. Spoon about 1 cup (212 g) of cheese sauce over the pizza dough and scatter the browned sausage over it. Then top the pizza with the sautéed vegetables and scrambled eggs.
- You can purchase a jar of cheese sauce or make your own.
- Scatter the hash browns and cheese on top. Take 1 cup (130 g) of thawed hash brown potatoes and sprinkle them over the top of the pizza. Then spread 1 cup (113 g) of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup (113 g) of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- You can use your favorite type of shredded cheese. For example, use 2 cups (226 g) of shredded pepper jack cheese if you like a little spice.[6]
- Bake the pizza for 20 to 25 minutes. Put the assembled pizza into the preheated oven and bake it until the crust becomes golden brown. The cheese should also melt and bubble a little. Let the pizza cool for 10 minutes before you slice it and serve it.[7]
- Refrigerate leftover breakfast pizza in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.
EditBacon and Egg Breakfast Pizza
- Preheat the oven to and grease a pizza pan. Get out a round pizza pan or a rectangular baking sheet. Then spray the sheet with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.[8]
- If you don't have spray, just drizzle the pan with a little olive oil and brush it evenly using a pastry brush.
- Chop the bacon and fry it for 3 to 4 minutes. Cut 8 slices of bacon into pieces and put them in a skillet. Turn the burner on to medium-high and cook the bacon until it turns a little golden. Stir the bacon occasionally to help it cook evenly.[9]
- The bacon won't become completely crispy because it will continue to cook in the oven.
- Put the bacon on a paper-towel lined plate. Turn off the burner and lay a paper towel on a plate. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to the paper towel so it drains a little.[10]
- For a leaner option, consider using Canadian bacon slices that you don't need to cook.
- To save time, use pre-cooked bacon crumbles that you can scatter over the pizza.
- Roll the pizza dough to fit your pizza pan. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons (15 g) of cornmeal on your work surface and open a 13.8-ounce (391 g) can of refrigerated pizza crust. Use your hands or a rolling pin to roll the dough until it fits your round or rectangular pizza pan or baking sheet.
- The cornmeal will prevent the dough from sticking to your work surface.
- Place the dough on the pan along with olive oil and garlic. Transfer the rolled dough to your prepared pizza pan. Then drizzle or brush of olive oil over the dough and scatter 2 cloves of minced garlic on top.[11]
- Spread the mozzarella, bacon, and green onions over the pizza. Slice an 8-ounce (226 g) ball of fresh mozzarella into thick slices and lay them on the pizza. Then scatter the bacon and 3 sliced green onions over the pizza.[12]
- Try to leave 3 gaps that are around in size so you can add the eggs.
- Bake the pizza for 10 to 12 minutes. Put the pizza into the preheated oven and cook it until the crust begins to turn golden brown. Keep in mind that the middle of the pizza won't be finished baking.[13]
- Crack 3 eggs onto the pizza and bake the pizza for 8 to 10 more minutes. Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and leave the oven turned on. Crack 3 eggs directly onto the pizza. Try not to break the yolks. Then put the pizza back in the oven and bake it until the whites are set.[14]
- The dough will finish baking and become crisp.
- If you prefer your egg yolks to be fully cooked, bake the pizza for 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Season the pizza with parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Turn off the oven and remove the pizza. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (7.5 g) of chopped fresh parsley leaves and 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) of crushed red pepper flakes. Then add salt and pepper according to your taste. Slice the pizza and serve it while it's hot.[15]
- Refrigerate leftover pizza in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.
EditTips
- To make any breakfast pizza vegetarian, leave out the bacon or sausage.
- For quick, personal breakfast pizzas, spread the sauce and toppings on bagels instead of pizza dough.
