What’s in this Breakfast Pizza Recipe?
This Breakfast Pizza Recipe is so easy! Using a sheet pan makes the whole process simple, clean and it makes a huge batch so you can feed a crowd.
- Crescent Roll Dough: An easy hack to create a rich, buttery crust that goes perfectly with the breakfast flavor of this pizza. You can use homemade crescent roll dough if you prefer.
- Breakfast Sausage: Adds a rich salty, sweet, and umami flavor. You can use mild, hot, or maple-flavored sausage. I recommend Jimmy Dean brand.
- Frozen Hashbrowns: Add delicious breakfast potato flavor to the pizza. Make sure to fully thaw them before using.
- Cheese: I like Mexican cheese, but cheddar, Swiss, or American would all be delicious! And don’t forget to add some Parmesan to the eggs!
- Eggs: Help bind the pizza toppings to the crust and create that breakfast casserole-like flavor.
- Milk: Adds moisture to the eggs and helps them cook up fluffy.
- Salt + Pepper: Enhances the natural flavor of the eggs.
Pro Tip: Be sure to grease your sheet pan so that the pizza is easy to remove once it is baked.
Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza Topping Ideas
There are so many ways to customize this pizza to suit your individual tastes. Try:
- Meat Lovers: Swap the hashbrowns for crumbled bacon and diced ham.
- Veggie Lovers: Swap the sausage for spinach, onions, mushrooms, and peppers.
- Ham & Cheese: Swap out the sausage for diced ham and use Swiss cheese.
- Southwest: Spread a layer of refried beans over the pizza crust and top it with seasoned ground beef, diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and Mexican cheese. Garnish with avocado, sour cream, and cilantro.
- Smoked Salmon: Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over the pizza crust. Top it with smoked salmon, thinly sliced red onions, and capers. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh dill.
- Greek: Spread a layer of tzatziki sauce or hummus over the pizza crust. Top with diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Sprinkle with oregano.

How to Store and Reheat
Breakfast pizza is best enjoyed as soon as it’s cooked, but leftovers will keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator and can be reheated in the oven at 400°F until warmed through.
How to Freeze
Freeze breakfast pizza whole or cut into individual slices tightly wrapped in 2 layers of plastic wrap and 1 layer of aluminum foil for up to 3 months. Reheat directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
Serving Suggestions
This breakfast pizza is a pretty complete meal. I suggest serving it with a side of fruit and cream cheese dip or a strawberry mango smoothie.
If you’re in the mood for a co*cktail with breakfast, check out Sherbet Mimosas, Champagne Sangria, Pitcher Mojitos, or Peach Frose.

Ingredients
- 8 ounces refrigerated crescent roll dough (1 tube)
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage (Jimmy Dean recommended)
- 1 cup frozen shredded hashbrowns thawed
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend or your favorite cheese!
- 5 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Recommended Equipment
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove the crescent rolls from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
8 ounces refrigerated crescent roll dough
Spray a small sheet pan (about 10×15-inches) with nonstick spray. For a deeper-dish pizza, use a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Brown the sausage in a skillet and drain.
8 ounces breakfast sausage
Spread the crescent rolls onto the bottom of the prepared pan. You will have to press and work the dough a little to make sure it covers the pan… pinch the pieces together.
Spoon sausage over the crust.
Spread the potatoes over the meat.
1 cup frozen shredded hashbrowns
Sprinkle the cheese over the potatoes.
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
Combine the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, Parmesan together in a separate bowl.
5 large eggs, ¼ cup milk, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Oven times vary so check it about halfway through.

Becky’s tips
- Be sure to thaw the hash browns before using them, if they are frozen they will not cook through fully. Thaw them in the fridge overnight before using.
- Be sure to grease your sheet pan so that the pizza is easy to remove once it is baked.
- Have fun with this breakfast pizza recipe! Use all your favorite toppings and get the kids to help out too!
Storage:Store breakfast pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

What is the difference between breakfast pizza and regular pizza?
The main difference is in the toppings. Breakfast pizza utilizes toppings that you’d find at the breakfast table. In this sheet pan version, we also opted to swap traditional pizza dough for crescent dough to bring even more breakfast flavor!
Is breakfast pizza healthy?
That depends on the toppings! You can keep breakfast pizza pretty healthy if you’re careful with the add-ons, or you can let things be carefree and fun by adding everything your heart desires. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so never skip it!
How many calories are in a piece of breakfast pizza?
It varies based on the toppings chosen, but this version has just over 400 calories per serving.
Can you use regular pizza dough for the base?
This breakfast sheet pan pizza is made with a crescent dough base so that it’s nice and light. You can easily turn this into a more classic pizza by using pizza dough if you prefer.
Can you make it ahead of time?
If you like, you can build the pizza the night before and keep it covered in the fridge until you are ready to bake it.

What do you use for like a sauce on the pizza to make the toppings not fall off

Hi Lupe, this is a white pizza, so the cheese holds the toppings on!

I have made a similar breakfast pizza before. This time I plan to make for Christmas but change to vegetarian sausage for my son and daughter-in-law. Delicious.

Can’t wait to make this but I’m confused as to how many crescent rolls this calls for. The ones I buy are huge…you mentioned a “bag” full, I think. How many ounces of ready made crescent rolls do you use? Thank you for your help.
