🥫 Ingredients
With a flaky crescent dough crust, creamy eggs, and all your favorite breakfast food flavors like hash browns, bacon and sausage this Sheet Pan Breakfast Pizza has got it all!
- Crescent Dough - could be substituted for a pre-cooked pizza crust instead
- Crispy Tater Tots - you could substitute these for frozen hash browns if preferred
- Crumbled Sausage - any flavor will work, we went with maple to add a hint of sweetness
- Shredded Cheese - stick with a cheddar, colby jack or mozzarella here
- Crumbled Bacon - I keep it easy here so instead of cooking up bacon I just use bacon bits
🥣 Step by Step Instructions
Step 1 - Prepare Tater Tots
Lay tater tots on a baking sheet and allow them to cook in the oven while you prepare all the other toppings. This will give your tater tots time to get a nice crispy texture before adding to the pizza.
Step 2 - Prepare the Egg Mixture
Once you've got those going in the oven it is time to prepare the egg mixture. Crack all of your eggs into a bowl and season with salt and pepper as desired.
For extra fluffy eggs you can add about a tablespoon of milk to the mixture. When ready scramble the eggs by mixing them together.
This Christmas my sister blessed me with, what is now probably one of my FAVORITE kitchen gadgets, a dough whisk. I use it for mixing everything!
Step 3 - Press out the Crescent Dough
Then place your crescent dough on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Pinch the dough along the edges of the pan to create a crust edge.
If worried about the crust not cooking through the center you could choose to place it in the oven before adding any of the toppings and allow it to pre-bake for 5 minutes.
When the crust is par-baked remove it from the oven. Then add all of the toppings and place back in the oven to finish cooking.
If you wanted to use a pre-made pizza crust you definitely can. You would just need to soft-cook your eggs to a runny scramble first. They will finish cooking in the oven while all the other toppings warm up and the cheese gets nice and melty.
Step 4 - Begin Layering all the Toppings
Add tater tots and then cooked sausage to crescent crust. Pour egg mixture evenly over the pan and sprinkle shredded cheese and bacon crumbles over the top.
What cheese is best for pizza?
When it comes to pizza you want a cheese that is nice and melty when cooked. Mozzarella is definitely at the top of the melty cheeses and most typically used for pizzas. You could also use colby jack, gruyere, provolone or a cheddar.
Do you cook bacon before putting in the oven?
All meats need be fully cooked before adding to Sheet Pan Breakfast Pizza. Pizza doesn’t have a cook time long enough to ensure that meats are cooked appropriately. Adding uncooked meat could also add excess unwanted grease to your pizza.
Step 5 - Bake, Cut and Serve
After all the toppings are added, place the pizza in the oven to cook. Once eggs appear cooked and cheese is melted, pull the pizza from the oven and let cool for a minute before cutting to serve.
