How to make the best breakfast pizza
Step one: Prepare – Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and then top with some cornmeal. This adds a little crunch to the crust.
Step two: Crust – Place the pizza dough on the prepared cookie sheet. Roll or push it out to fit the pan. Use a fork to poke holes in the crust. This helps it not to rise up. Next, brush olive oil over the crust. Bake the crust for 7 minutes until it just starts to get some color.
Step three: Sausage – Brown sausage in a large skillet. Add in diced bell pepper and cook another 2-3 minutes.
Step four: Eggs – Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble in a skillet by cooking over medium heat. Push the eggs back and forth until the scramble. Top the crust with scrambled eggs.
Step five: Assemble – Top eggs with sausage.
Top with shredded cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Top with green onion and serve.

Recipe tips
- Use a paper towel to pat off any excess grease of the sausage.
- Try not to overcook the scrambled eggs. Since they will be going in the oven, you can slightly undercook them when scrambling.
- Want a little something extra? Spread white gravy or sausage gravy over the crust before adding the toppings.
How to store leftover breakfast pizza
Store: Let the pizza cool before storing. Cut into pieces and then place in an airtight container or zip bag. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 400 degrees for about 5 minutes or until heated through.
Freeze: Wrap pizza in plastic wrap or foil and then place in a freezer safe bag. Freeze for 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake.
