🧾 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. You'll find the full measurements and instructions in the green recipe card (printable) at the bottom of the page.
📖 Variations
- Feel free to use homemade sausage gravy or grab some that's already prepared from the grocery store.
- Bulk it up with additional toppings! Sometimes, I'll throw on chopped bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, or jalapenos for a spicy kick.
- I like sharp cheddar cheese best, but this would also be good with colby jack, pepper jack, or mozzarella cheese.
- You can make individual pizza "crusts" and let each kid build their own! Slice the baked crescent roll into pieces. Once topped, bake as directed.
🔪 Instructions
This is an overview of the instructions. Full instructions are in the green recipe card at the bottom of the page.
- Press the crescent roll dough into a half-sheet pan.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cook the eggs in a large skillet or frying pan until just done.
- Spread the sausage gravy and eggs over the crust. Sprinkle cheese and bacon on top and bake for 10-12 minutes.
🥫 How to store leftovers
We rarely have leftover breakfast pizza, but if you do, it's easy to store.
Refrigerate
Place cooled slices in an airtight container for up to three days.
Freeze
The pizza also keeps well frozen (wrapped tightly in plastic) for up to three months.
Reheat
In the microwave, leftover pizza tends to get soggy—especially on the bottom. So, I suggest reheating the pizza in your oven or air fryer.
💭 Things to know
Expert Tip: Don't overcook your egg mixture. Be sure to use low to medium heat and stir gently but constantly. Remove from the heat (put 'em in a clean, small bowl) once cooked. The eggs should still look shiny!
- The crescent dough is really buttery, so you don't need to oil the pan.
- If you don't have a half-sheet pan, lay the dough on one-half of a standard-sized sheet pan. The dough doesn't spread much, anyway.
- Make sure your sausage gravy is warmed through before adding it to the pizza. This way, everything will heat up evenly.
- Shred your own cheese! It melts so much better than pre-shredded.
- If you are short on time, use store-bought real bacon bits.
- Make breakfast pizza ahead of time and reheat it when you're ready to eat. This helps simplify busy mornings.
