Ingredients
Crust
- 1 (8-oz) can crescent rolls
Breakfast Toppings
- ¾ lb breakfast sausage
- 1 cup frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Egg Mixture
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Miscellaneous
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Form the Crust: Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles. Press the triangles together on the sprayed pan to create a single round crust. Crimp the edges with your fingers to form a raised rim to keep the egg mixture from spilling over during baking.
- Cook Sausage: In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Once done, drain excess fat.
- Add Toppings: Evenly spread the cooked sausage, thawed shredded hash browns, and shredded cheddar cheese over the prepared crust.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the milk, salt, black pepper, and eggs until well combined. Carefully pour this mixture evenly over the toppings on the crust. Then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the egg mixture is set.
Notes
- Ensure you crimp the edges of the crust well to prevent egg leakage.
- You can substitute the hash browns with freshly diced potatoes for a fresher taste.
- Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the toppings for extra flavor.
- Use low-fat milk or egg substitutes to reduce calories if desired.
- Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing to let the egg set completely.
