Breakfast Pizza Sausage Bacon Eggs

This breakfast pizza is the ultimate way to kick off a weekend morning or celebrate a holiday brunch. Imagine all the best parts of breakfast together on top of a warm, irresistible crust—think creamy sausage gravy, fluffy eggs, bacon, and two kinds of melty cheese. That first bite is always a hit at my table and brings everyone running to the kitchen.

My family loves it so much I have to double the recipe whenever everyone’s home for the holidays. Even picky eaters clean their plates and ask for seconds.

Ingredients

• Refrigerated pizza crust: it gives you a head start on breakfast and bakes up perfectly crisp I look for ones that have few ingredients and no artificial flavors
• Breakfast sausage: makes the savory gravy and adds tons of flavor Choose a fresh mild or spicy variety based on your taste
• Salted butter: makes both gravy and eggs rich and flavorful Always use real butter for the best results
• All purpose flour: thickens the gravy Make sure it is fresh for smooth texture
• Half and half: turns the gravy extra creamy Buy the freshest brand you can find or use a mix of cream and milk
• Large eggs: stars of any breakfast Make sure they are fresh for the fluffiest scramble
• Milk: helps make scrambled eggs creamy and prevents toughness
• Shredded mozzarella cheese: melts beautifully and keeps every bite gooey Choose a bag with minimal additives for the best melt
• Cooked and crumbled bacon: salty and crisp This is my sons favorite part I like using thick cut for extra crunch
• Shredded sharp cheddar cheese: adds a punchy flavor If possible shred your own for richer flavor
• Salt and pepper: to season perfectly Use kosher salt and freshly ground pepper for the best taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Sheet Pan:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and grease a ten by fifteen baking sheet so nothing sticks to the bottom or corners

Shape and Pre Bake the Crust:

Roll out the refrigerated pizza crust onto your prepared sheet Pat it to fit evenly and use a fork to poke small holes all over This prevents bubbling Pre bake for five minutes so the crust gets a head start before toppings go on

Cook the Breakfast Sausage and Make Gravy:

Set a skillet over medium heat Add sausage and cook while breaking it into crumbles Stir often until all pieces are browned and no pink remains This takes about six to eight minutes Add butter right into the skillet and let it melt then sprinkle in flour with a steady hand Stir again and let mixture cook for about two minutes You want the flour to lose its raw taste Slowly pour in the half and half whisking the whole time Keep cooking until the sauce thickens to a gravy consistently stirring Season to taste with salt and pepper

Scramble the Eggs:

Crack eggs into a bowl add the milk and a pinch of salt and pepper Beat them very well with a fork Melt butter in a clean skillet over medium low and pour in your egg mixture Let it sit untouched for about thirty seconds then gently sweep a spatula through the eggs from edge to middle Repeat every few seconds until eggs are just set and still look glossy Remove from heat to stop cooking

Assemble the Pizza:

Spread all of the sausage gravy out in an even layer over the warm crust Scatter mozzarella cheese on top then distribute scrambled eggs evenly Sprinkle with the crumbled bacon and finish with the sharp cheddar cheese

Finish Baking:

Return the pan to your oven and bake for seven to nine minutes The edges will turn golden and the cheese will be fully melted and bubbling Remove and let cool for a few minutes for easier slicing

Slice and Serve:

Cut the pizza into rectangles and serve warm Watch it disappear

Save

My favorite part is the combination of sausage gravy and eggs—those layers make every bite rich and comforting. This pizza reminds me of our annual New Year's morning brunch where everyone pitches in and the kitchen smells amazing.

Storage Tips

Leftovers keep best when wrapped tightly and stored in the fridge for up to three days. To freeze, cool completely, slice, and layer with parchment in a freezer bag. When ready to eat, just reheat slices in the oven or air fryer and they taste freshly made—perfect for busy mornings or late-night snacks.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap out the sausage for turkey sausage or vegetarian crumbles for a lighter option. Use other cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for more flavor. If you are out of half and half, regular milk with a tablespoon of cream works in a pinch.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with a simple fruit salad or a side of hash browns to make a bigger brunch spread. This pizza also makes a fabulous option for breakfast for dinner—my favorite way to serve it is with glasses of orange juice and extra hot sauce on the side.

Cultural or Historical Context

Breakfast pizza is a classic American diner-inspired dish, popular in the Midwest and South. It is often seen at family gatherings, brunch buffets, and even school cafeterias—because nothing brings people together like the delicious combination of breakfast favorites on a homemade crust.
