TIPS FOR MAKING BREAKFAST PIZZA:
- You can use a homemade pizza dough for this recipe or a store bought pizza dough ball. This can be made in a more traditional round shape if you prefer.
- Two cans of crescent roll dough sheets can be used instead of the pizza dough. Just make sure you push the seams together really well.
- I really like Libby's Country Sausage Gravy in this recipe. It adds so much flavor. If you can't find this canned sausage gravy, you can always purchase a packet of white pepper gravy and make it per the packet's instructions. Or try making my HOMEMADE SAUSAGE GRAVY!
- Use any shredded cheese you enjoy. Cheddar cheese, mozzarella, gouda and pepper jack are all good options.
- With most recipes, bacon should be measured with your heart. It's like garlic. Use as little or as much as you like!
- Speaking of bacon, you can fry up some slices of bacon and crumble them. I like the ease of using store bought real bacon pieces. You can usually find the packets of bacon near where the other salad toppings are located in your grocery store.
- Don't scramble your eggs too fast! This is a huge mistake for most cooks when it comes to scrambling eggs. If they cook too fast they turn out rubbery. Just cook them gently at a low to medium heat in a nonstick pan. Gently scrape the bottom and the sides of the pan with a wooden or plastic spatula and move them around as they cook. You want the eggs to be softly scrambled.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- refrigerated pizza crust
- olive oil
- large eggs
- salt and pepper
- milk
- salted butter
- Libby's Country Sausage Gravy
- shredded Colby jack cheese
- bacon
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BREAKFAST PIZZA RECIPE:
Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Spray a large baking sheet (10"x 15") with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the pizza crust into the pan. Stretch it out to all the edges. Brush olive oil evenly on top of the crust. Poke the crust really well with a fork (this will keep it from puffing up too much.)
Bake the crust for about 7 minutes on a middle rack. It should just start to be getting very light brown in color.
While crust is baking, start making the scrambled eggs. In a medium-sized bowl, add eggs, salt, pepper and milk. Whisk eggs really well for at least 2 minutes to get it combined.
Preheat a pan on low to medium heat. Add butter. Once butter is melted, pour in the egg mixture. Gently scramble the eggs. The key to good scrambled eggs is to not cook them too fast or else they get rubbery. So just slowly move the eggs around until softly scrambled and fluffy. Turn off heat.
When crust is ready, remove it from the oven. Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the crust.
Top the sausage gravy with scrambled eggs.
Then top the eggs with shredded cheese. Finally, sprinkle the bacon pieces evenly over the cheese.
Place baking pan back into the oven (middle rack) and cook for another 6-7 minutes.
Slice into 12 slices. Then serve while warm.
HOW TO STORE LEFTOVER BREAKFAST PIZZA:
- Leftover slices can be stored in an airtight container and will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Leftover breakfast pizza can also be frozen. Just wrap tightly in plastic wrap then wrap in foil. It can be kept frozen for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, you can warm up individual slices in the microwave (covered with a paper towel) until heated through. Or slices can be put into a toaster oven until reheated.

I used basil pesto as a thin base and included sweet sopresetta and Mexican three cheese blend. No need to add any salt.

Made this for breakfast and it was a big hit!

Much enjoyed. Thank you for the recipe.
I was introduced to my first Breakfast Pizza at a small country store in Northern NH while camping up in the mountains. I just wanted a nice hot cup of coffee but saw it and thought I would give it a try.. Wow! It was great!
For those who want to try it and don't have a pizza crust handy try english muffins. They make a nice simple alternative.
For those who don't like sausage gravy you can make it with no gravy at all. Just crumble up some bacon or sausage instead.
Enjoy!!

I can’t stand sausage gravy of any kind. Is there something I can use instead?
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Just a regular milk or peppered gravy.
