Ingredients

  • 1 pound Breakfast Sausage
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the baking sheet, pressing seams together to form a flat crust. Bake for 7-9 minutes until golden brown.

  4. Step 4: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir for 1-2 minutes to combine and cook off the raw flour taste.
  5. Step 5: Gradually whisk in the whole milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth gravy.
  6. Step 6: In a separate skillet, scramble the eggs over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes until just set but still soft.
  7. Step 7: Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the baked crescent crust. Layer the scrambled eggs on top, then sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
  8. Step 8: Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Step 9: Remove from the oven, let rest for a minute, then slice and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

  • Use turkey or plant-based sausage as a lighter or vegetarian substitute.
  • Swap cheddar for pepper jack cheese if you like a bit of spice.
  • Try using light or plant-based milk to reduce calories or accommodate dietary needs.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley on top before serving.

Storage

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave or a hot skillet until warmed through and the cheese is soft again. This breakfast pizza is best enjoyed fresh but keeps well for quick morning meals.

How to Serve

A small pizza on a white plate features three main layers: a thick, golden-brown crust forming the base and rising gently at the edges, a bubbly layer of melted white cheese with slight golden spots spread evenly over the crust, and scattered browned sausage pieces and small bits of green herbs on top. The texture of the crust looks soft and fluffy, while the cheese appears smooth and stretchy, with the sausage pieces looking juicy and slightly crispy around the edges. The scene is set against a white marbled surface, emphasizing the pizza's warm colors. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this breakfast pizza ahead of time?

You can prepare the sausage gravy and scramble the eggs in advance, then assemble and bake when ready to serve. However, the crescent roll crust is best freshly baked for optimal texture.

What can I use if I don’t have crescent roll dough?

Puff pastry or pre-made pizza dough can be substituted as the base. Adjust baking times as needed until the crust is golden and cooked through.
