A fast and delicious breakfast pizza loaded with eggs, sausage, and melty cheese on a crispy crescent dough crust. Ready in 25 minutes, it’s perfect for busy mornings, brunch, or a protein-rich meal prep option that the whole family will enjoy.
Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven warms, lightly grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or a thin layer of butter. This ensures the crescent dough doesn’t stick and helps create a golden, slightly crisp edge while keeping the center soft and tender.
Shape the Crescent Dough: Open the crescent dough tubes and unroll them onto the prepared pan. Gently press the dough to cover the bottom completely, stretching it slightly up the sides to form a ½-inch crust edge. If your dough comes in perforated triangles, pinch the seams together to eliminate gaps. Prick the dough thoroughly with a fork to prevent air bubbles while baking, which helps achieve a flat and even crust.
Blind Bake the Crust: Place the pan with the dough into the preheated oven and bake for 7–8 minutes, or until the crust becomes light golden brown. This partial baking step ensures the crust will stay crisp once the eggs and sausage are added. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool slightly while preparing the toppings.
Whisk the Eggs: In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add 2 tablespoons of water. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. This incorporates air into the eggs, giving them a fluffy, tender texture. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences.
Cook the Eggs: Heat ½ tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook, stirring frequently, until they are thickened and no liquid remains. The eggs should be fully cooked, soft, and creamy, which ensures they set nicely on the pizza without making the crust soggy.
Prepare the Sausage: If not already cooked, brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat and crumble it while cooking. Drain any excess fat on a paper towel. The sausage should be fully cooked, flavorful, and slightly crispy, providing a savory contrast to the soft eggs and melty cheese.
Assemble the Pizza: Once the crust has cooled slightly, evenly spread the cooked eggs over the base. Sprinkle the crumbled sausage on top, followed by 1 cup each of shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses. Ensure toppings are evenly distributed so every slice has a perfect balance of eggs, cheese, and sausage.
Bake Until Cheese Melts: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and begins to bubble. This step brings all the flavors together, giving the pizza a gooey, golden cheese layer.
Add Fresh Toppings: After removing the pizza from the oven, sprinkle sliced green onions evenly on top for freshness. If desired, drizzle with hot sauce for a little heat. These toppings enhance flavor and presentation, making the pizza look as good as it tastes.
Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for 2–3 minutes to make slicing easier. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into 16 squares. Serve immediately while warm, letting the cheese stretch and the eggs remain soft. Enjoy fresh, or store leftovers for a convenient, protein-rich meal later.
Notes
Always grease the pan lightly to prevent the crescent dough from sticking.
Press the dough evenly and pinch seams together to avoid gaps in the crust.
Blind bake the crust for 7–8 minutes to prevent sogginess when adding toppings.
Use freshly cooked eggs and crumbled sausage for maximum flavor and texture.
Mix different cheeses (Monterey Jack, cheddar, or mozzarella) to enhance taste.
Customize with vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for added nutrition.
Season eggs well with salt and pepper for a flavorful base.
Allow the pizza to rest 2–3 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
For extra crisp edges, reheat leftovers in an oven or skillet rather than a microwave.
Hot sauce or fresh herbs on top add freshness and a flavor boost.
