Ingredients You’ll Need:

Pizza dough (1 package or homemade, enough for 4 small pizzas): You can use store-bought pizza dough for convenience, or make your own if you’re feeling adventurous. If you’re in a pinch, refrigerated dough works great too!
Breakfast sausage (1 lb): Ground breakfast sausage adds a rich, savory flavor to your pizza. You can also swap this for turkey sausage or any other type of ground meat you prefer.
Eggs (4 large): Eggs are the star of the show—these will be cracked directly onto your pizzas for that classic breakfast feel.
Shredded mozzarella cheese (1 ½ cups): Melty cheese is essential for a good breakfast pizza. Mozzarella is mild and gooey, but feel free to mix in some cheddar for a sharp kick.
Olive oil (1 tbsp): To brush on the pizza dough for a golden, crispy crust.
Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder): Just a few simple seasonings to enhance the flavor. You can also add some crushed red pepper flakes if you want a little heat.
Optional toppings: Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil), sliced green onions, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for a little extra flavor.

How to Make It (Step-by-Step Instructions):

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you’re using store-bought pizza dough, roll it out onto a floured surface until it’s about 8–10 inches in diameter for each pizza. If you’re making your own dough, follow the recipe instructions for rolling it out. Lightly grease your baking sheet or pizza stone with olive oil.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. This should take about 5–7 minutes. Use a spoon to break up the sausage into small bits as it cooks. Once it’s fully cooked, remove it from the heat and set it aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizzas

Place your prepared pizza dough onto the greased baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush the edges with a little olive oil to give the crust a golden finish when it bakes. Then, sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough.

Next, evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the cheese, making sure it covers the entire pizza. Now, for the fun part—create little wells in the sausage and cheese where you will crack your eggs. You can either crack the eggs directly onto the pizza or crack them into a bowl first and then gently slide them into place on the pizza. Make sure not to break the yolks! Season the whole pizza with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder for extra flavor.

Step 4: Bake the Pizzas

Carefully transfer the pizzas to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden, the cheese is melted, and the eggs are cooked to your liking. For soft eggs, aim for a slightly runny yolk; for firmer eggs, bake a few minutes longer. The key here is to make sure the eggs set but don’t overcook. If you’re unsure, gently tap the eggs to check for doneness.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Once the pizzas are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Garnish with some fresh herbs like chopped parsley or green onions for a pop of color and flavor. If you’re a fan of spice, drizzle a bit of hot sauce over the top. Slice up your Sausage and Egg Breakfast Pizzas and serve with a side of fresh fruit, a smoothie, or a hot cup of coffee.

Helpful Tips:

Cook the eggs to your liking: Keep in mind that the eggs will continue to cook a little bit once out of the oven, so it’s best to take them out just before they reach your perfect level of doneness. For a runny yolk, check them after 10 minutes!
Use a pizza stone for extra crispy crust: If you have one, a pizza stone helps get that perfect crispy bottom. Preheat the stone in the oven before placing the dough on it.
Make them mini: If you’re serving a crowd, consider making mini breakfast pizzas. Simply divide the dough into smaller portions and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Swap out the sausage: You can swap out the sausage for bacon, turkey sausage, or even veggies like spinach or bell peppers for a lighter twist.
Meal prep: These breakfast pizzas can easily be made ahead of time. Assemble the pizzas, bake them, and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat, just reheat them in the oven for 5-7 minutes for a quick breakfast.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Can I use a different kind of cheese?
Yes! You can use any cheese you like, but mozzarella works well because it melts beautifully. If you prefer a stronger flavor, try cheddar, gouda, or even feta for a more savory bite.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the dough ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just let it come to room temperature before rolling it out and assembling the pizzas.

Can I add vegetables to this pizza?
Yes! Feel free to add some diced bell peppers, spinach, onions, or mushrooms for a veggie-packed breakfast pizza. Just sauté the veggies first to remove any excess moisture before adding them to the pizza.

Can I freeze these breakfast pizzas?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled pizzas before baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to bake, cook from frozen at 400°F for about 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the eggs are cooked through.

What can I serve these with?
These breakfast pizzas are hearty on their own, but if you want to serve them with something extra, a side of fresh fruit, a green salad, or even a yogurt parfait would make the perfect complement.
