Ingredients

• Eggs: The heart of any breakfast pizza Fresh large eggs work best for creamy scrambled eggs

Prepare the Crescent Crust:

Unroll the crescent roll dough and gently press it onto a parchment lined baking sheet Make sure the dough covers the edges for a sturdy base Trim excess if needed

Prebake the Crust:

Bake the dough at the temperature listed on the can Remove from the oven when the crust is just turning golden but not completely done This stage usually takes about 10 minutes and keeps the base from getting soggy later

Scramble the Eggs:

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until fully blended Melt butter in the same skillet over medium high heat add eggs lower the heat to medium low and gently scramble Cook slowly until just set making sure they stay soft Season with salt and pepper

Layer the Pizza:

Top the warm crust with half the shredded cheddar then spoon on your scrambled eggs Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the eggs Add the rest of the cheddar on top finishing with a generous dusting of everything bagel seasoning

Final Bake:

Return the sheet pan to the oven Bake another five minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and just starting to bubble
