Breakfast Pizza Recipe
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
8 ounces refrigerated crescent roll dough (1 tube)
8 ounces breakfast sausage (Jimmy Dean recommended)
1 cup frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend or your favorite cheese!
5 large eggs
¼ cup milk
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove the crescent rolls from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Spray a small sheet pan (about 10x15 inches) with nonstick spray. For a deeper-dish pizza, use a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Brown the sausage in a skillet and drain.
Spread the crescent rolls onto the bottom of the prepared pan. You will have to press and work the dough a little to make sure it covers the pan… pinch the pieces together.
Spoon sausage over the crust.
Spread the potatoes over the meat.
Sprinkle the cheese over the potatoes.
Combine the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and Parmesan together in a separate bowl.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Oven times vary so check it about halfway through.
Notes:
Be sure to thaw the hash browns before using them; if they are frozen, they will not cook through fully. Thaw them in the fridge overnight before using.
Be sure to grease your sheet pan so that the pizza is easy to remove once it is baked.

Storage: Store breakfast pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza Topping Ideas:
Meat Lovers: Swap the hashbrowns for crumbled bacon and diced ham.
Veggie Lovers: Swap the sausage for spinach, onions, mushrooms, and peppers.
Ham & Cheese: Swap out the sausage for diced ham and use Swiss cheese.
Southwest: Spread a layer of refried beans over the pizza crust and top it with seasoned ground beef, diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and Mexican cheese. Garnish with avocado, sour cream, and cilantro.
Greek: Spread a layer of tzatziki sauce or hummus over the pizza crust. Top with diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Sprinkle with oregano.
Tips for Success:
Be sure to grease your sheet pan so that the pizza is easy to remove once it is baked.
Crescent rolls are an easy hack to create a rich, buttery crust that goes perfectly with the breakfast flavor of this pizza. You can use homemade crescent roll dough if you prefer.
You can use mild, hot, or maple-flavored sausage. I recommend the Jimmy Dean brand.
For the best texture and flavor in every bite, distribute the sausage, hash browns, and cheese evenly before pouring over the egg mixture.
Oven times vary, so keep an eye on the pizza toward the end of baking. The eggs should be set, and the crust should be golden brown before removing from the oven.
