Sausage and Egg Breakfast Pizza
Bring the irresistible fusion of breakfast classics and pizza together in one mouthwatering dish! Fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage crumbles, and melted cheese create pure breakfast joy atop a perfectly crispy crust.
Variations & Substitutions
You can swap the sausage for crispy bacon, spicy chorizo, or even prosciutto. For cheese lovers, try mixing things up with Gouda, Swiss, or Gruyere – they all melt beautifully and bring their own unique flavors.
If you’re feeling adventurous, add some baby spinach or arugula right after baking for a fresh kick. And for those who prefer their eggs differently, you can try sunny-side-up eggs on top.
Tips & Tricks for Perfect Results
I recommend having all your toppings ready before you start assembling. The key is to avoid overloading the pizza, which can make it soggy. And don’t forget to preheat your oven thoroughly – it makes a huge difference in the final result.
Making the Recipe Stand Out
I like to season each layer separately – a pinch of salt and pepper on the eggs, maybe some red pepper flakes on the sausage. Consider adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley right before serving.
Sometimes I’ll drizzle a bit of hot sauce or add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning right before serving for that extra wow factor.
Storage & Reheating
While this pizza is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, leftovers can still be delicious. Store any remaining slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When reheating, I recommend using a 400°F oven for about 5-7 minutes – it helps maintain the crust’s texture better than microwaving.
If you’re planning ahead, you can prep all the components the night before and assemble just before baking. Just remember that the texture of the eggs might change slightly upon reheating, but the flavor will still be there.
