Meat
- 1 (16-ounce) package pork breakfast sausage
Base
- 1 (8-ounce) can canned refrigerated thin crust pizza dough
Dairy & Eggs
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Sausage: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the pork breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat according to package instructions until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat and set the sausage aside.
- Prepare Pizza Crust: Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet and gently stretch it into a roughly 10×15-inch rectangle. Par-bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until it just starts to brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside carefully.
- Scramble the Eggs: While the crust is par-baking, whisk the six eggs together. Soft-scramble the eggs gently in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat to keep them creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Sauce: In a small microwave-safe bowl, soften the cream cheese by microwaving for about 20 seconds. Add the tablespoon of milk and stir until smooth and spreadable, forming a creamy base sauce.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the par-baked pizza crust, similar to how you would spread pizza sauce. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the cream cheese base, then layer the scrambled eggs on top of the sausage. Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the entire pizza.
- Bake Until Cheese Melts: Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or just until the cheddar cheese has melted completely and bubbly. Remove from the oven, slice, and serve warm for a hearty breakfast.
Notes
- You can use turkey sausage as a leaner alternative to pork sausage.
- For extra flavor, add chopped green onions or diced bell peppers to the eggs while scrambling.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake a few minutes longer but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- This recipe can be made ahead by preparing the crust and sausage mixture, then assembling before baking.
- To keep it vegetarian, substitute sausage with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based sausage.
