Easy Breakfast Pizza Recipe
This breakfast pizza recipes combines a love for pizza and protein! It’s a savory breakfast favorite loaded with scrambled eggs, crumbled pork sausage, and two kinds of cheese on top of ready-made crescent roll dough.
Gone are the days when pizza for breakfast means cold leftovers from last night’s dinner. A hot, fresh, cheesy sausage breakfast pizza is fast, easy, and ready in under 30 minutes.
Why We Love Sausage Breakfast Pizza
- Versatile. Enjoy a slice of freshly baked pizza for a weekday morning or make breakfast for dinner. It reheats well so it’s perfect to make ahead, too!
- Customizable. Keep the sheet pan pizza simple with sausage, eggs, and cheese or get creative. Make a crescent roll pizza or make the dough from scratch!
- Delicious. If you’re a bacon and eggs lover, a pizza lover, or love a salty, savory breakfast like this crescent roll breakfast casserole, this breakfast pizza is amazing!
Ingredients Needed
- Store-bought crescent roll dough: 2 tubes are enough to make a pizza crust large enough to fill a baking sheet. Like I said, making this homemade pizza dough recipe is always an option.
- Large eggs & water: Will be cooked separately before being added on top of the crust. The water helps to thin out the egg mixture.
- Salt & pepper: To taste!
- Olive oil: Used to cook the eggs.
- Breakfast sausage: Cook according to package directions. Everything needs to be cooked before adding them as toppings. The time spent in the oven is to heat everything through and melt the cheese.
- Shredded cheese: I use freshly grated Monterey Jack cheese as well as sharp cheddar cheese but you can use mozzarella, Pepper jack cheese, feta cheese, goat’s cheese, or swiss cheese.
- Sliced green onions: The pop of green is always nice on a breakfast pizza. Green onions are a staple garnish on most menu items at our favorite breakfast joints!
- Hot sauce: An optional flavorful heat. Use any kind you like.
How to Make Breakfast Pizza
- Prepare the crust. Unroll both tubes of crescent roll dough and lay them onto the prepared baking sheet. If the dough overlaps a lot, feel free to rip strips off the end or tear off the last 2 squares of dough. Prick the dough with a fork, allowing steam to escape so that the dough doesn’t puff up too much. Bake it in the oven until lightly golden brown.
- Cook the eggs. Whisk the eggs and water together in a small bowl. Heat oil over medium heat in a nonstick skillet. Scramble the eggs until just thickened, and season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the pizza. Spoon egg over the crust and sprinkle with cooked sausage crumble. Sprinkle with both kinds of cheese.
- Bake the sausage breakfast pizza. Transfer the breakfast pizza recipe to the oven to bake for about 5-7 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Top with green onions, drizzle with hot sauce and slice it into 16 squares. Enjoy!
Variations and Topping Ideas
- Pizza crescent rolls. Separate crescent dough and fill with eggs, sausage and cheese. Roll up, bake with the seams facing down, and it is pizza pinwheels!
- Breakfast meat: Make breakfast sausage meatballs for the top or use baked ham or bacon.
- Veggies: Add spinach, red or green bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and even olives!
- Make it a vegetarian breakfast pizza and omit the meat altogether.
- If you’d rather your eggs, sunny side up, you can top your pizza with cheese and sausage then crack the eggs gently overtop the pizza. Bake until eggs are cooked and cheese is melted.
- Fresh herbs: For a vibrant finish, along with the green onions, fresh herbs like parsley or chives would also be delish!
Make Ahead and Storage
- Make ahead: There are parts of the sausage breakfast pizza that can be prepped ahead of time then just assemble before baking! Cook sausage in a large skillet, drain and store covered in the refrigerator for 2 days. Cook eggs ahead of time and store.
- Store: Store covered in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze up to three months.

Notes
Pizza dough: If you’d prefer to use a homemade pizza dough, I love this pizza dough recipe.
Vegetables: If you’d like to add some vegetables to this dish, you can cook up some bell peppers and onions with the sausage. Another great addition is to add mushrooms onto the top before baking.
Meat: In place of the sausage, you could also use cooked and crumbled bacon. Another great addition would be diced ham. You can also omit the meat entirely if desired.

I just made this and we loved it and it’s so easy I only had a big cookie sheet but it worked out fine next time I’m adding mushrooms and bacon
I just made this as a breakfast for dinner and it was such a hit! It makes so much and have leftovers and just wondering what your advice is on reheating it? Thanks for a great recipe!
I love to reheat in the oven or air fryer for a couple minutes. You can microwave but it will be softer.
I cook for one. Could this be portioned and frozen??
Yes, it could be portioned and frozen in zip top bags :)
If I want to cut this recipe in half what size pan should I use ?
An 8×8 pan should work well :)
It was easy and impressively good. My husband loved it. I used a spring form pan and halved the recipe. Soo good. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad to hear you loved it! Glad to hear it worked in a spring form pan.
I had 2 rolls of crescent rolls that I needed to use and wasn’t sure what to make until I saw this! So glad I did it. It was fantastic!
I had half a red pepper in the fridge, so I added that as well. Super easy, and my family gobbled it right up. I was hoping for leftovers, but no such luck. It was too good! haha
So happy to hear your family loved the recipe, Kara! :)
My family said they would wake up to this every morning! It’s cheesy & delicious!
This was so good!! My kids love pizza for breakfast so I had to make this and of course, it was a hit!
Yay! Glad to hear it was a hit with your family :)
