Why You’ll Love Breakfast Pizza
Breakfast Pizza combines the best parts of a traditional breakfast and the ease of pizza night. Instead of separate plates of eggs, bacon, and toast, everything bakes together on one sheet pan.
The crust turns lightly crisp on the bottom while staying tender underneath the toppings. Creamy sausage gravy adds richness, and the Colby jack melts beautifully over soft scrambled eggs.
Equipment
- 10″x 15″ baking sheet
Ingredients
- 13.8 ounce tube refrigerated pizza crust
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 8 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter
- 15 ounce can Libbys Country Sausage Gravy
- 2 cups shredded Colby jack cheese
- ½ cup real bacon pieces
How to Make Breakfast Pizza
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spray a 10″x 15″ baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Unroll the 13.8 ounce tube refrigerated pizza crust and press it into the prepared pan, stretching it all the way to the edges. Brush 2 Tablespoons olive oil evenly over the top of the crust. Use a fork to poke the dough all over to prevent it from puffing too much while baking.
Place the crust on the middle rack and bake for about 7 minutes. It should just begin to turn very lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, prepare the scrambled eggs. In a medium bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and ⅓ cup milk. Whisk thoroughly for at least 2 minutes so everything is well combined.
Heat a skillet over low to medium heat and add 2 Tablespoons salted butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture. Gently scramble the eggs, cooking slowly so they stay soft and fluffy. Avoid high heat, which can make them rubbery. Remove from heat once softly scrambled.
When the crust is ready, remove it from the oven. Spread the 15 ounce can Libbys Country Sausage Gravy evenly over the baked crust.
Layer the scrambled eggs over the gravy. Sprinkle 2 cups shredded Colby jack cheese evenly on top, then finish with ½ cup real bacon pieces.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 6–7 minutes, until everything is heated through and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven, slice into 12 pieces, and serve warm.
Helpful Tips
- Poking the crust with a fork helps keep it from puffing up too much during the first bake.
- Cook the scrambled eggs slowly for the best texture.
- Bake the crust partially before adding toppings to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you can’t find refrigerated pizza crust, two cans of crescent roll dough sheets can be used instead. Press the seams together firmly before baking.
Libbys Country Sausage Gravy adds bold flavor, but if it’s unavailable, you can prepare a packet of white pepper gravy according to package instructions or make homemade sausage gravy.
Serving Suggestions
Breakfast Pizza works well for brunch gatherings, holiday mornings, or even breakfast-for-dinner nights. Pair it with fresh fruit or a simple salad to round out the meal.
It slices easily and serves beautifully straight from the pan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Breakfast Pizza ahead of time?
Yes. You can prepare and fully bake it, then refrigerate. When ready to serve, reheat slices in the oven until warmed through. It’s a great option for prepping the night before a busy morning.
Can I use homemade sausage gravy instead of canned?
Absolutely. If you prefer, you can make your own sausage gravy or prepare a packet of white pepper gravy according to package instructions. Just be sure it’s thick enough to spread evenly over the crust.
What if I don’t have pizza crust?
Two cans of crescent roll dough sheets work well as a substitute. Press the seams together firmly before baking to create one solid base.
How do I keep the crust from getting soggy?
Pre-baking the crust for about 7 minutes helps create a barrier before adding the toppings. Also, make sure the scrambled eggs aren’t overly wet before layering them on.
Can I add vegetables?
Yes. Diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach can be added to the scrambled eggs. Just sauté them first to remove excess moisture.
Final Touch
Breakfast Pizza takes familiar morning favorites and turns them into something easy to slice and share. The golden crust, creamy sausage gravy, fluffy eggs, melted cheese, and crisp bacon come together in every bite.

Breakfast Pizza brings together comfort and convenience in one pan. With layers of sausage gravy, fluffy eggs, melted cheese, and bacon on a golden crust, it’s the kind of dish that disappears quickly once sliced and served.

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Spray a large baking sheet (10″x 15″) with nonstick cooking spray.
- Spread the 13.8 ounce tube refrigerated pizza crust into the pan. Stretch it out to all the edges. Brush 2 Tablespoons olive oil evenly on top of the crust. Poke the crust really well with a fork (this will keep it from puffing up too much.)
- Bake the crust for about 7 minutes on a middle rack. It should just start to be getting very light brown in color.
- While crust is baking, start making the scrambled eggs. In a medium-sized bowl, add 8 large eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/3 cup milk. Whisk eggs really well for at least 2 minutes to combine.
- Preheat a pan on low to medium heat. Add 2 Tablespoons salted butter. Once butter is melted, pour in the egg mixture. Gently scramble the eggs. The key to good scrambled eggs is to not cook them too fast or else they get rubbery. So just slowly move the eggs around until softly scrambled and fluffy. Turn off heat.
- When crust is ready, remove it from the oven. Spread 15 ounce can Libbys Country Sausage Gravy evenly over the crust.
- Top the sausage gravy with scrambled eggs. Then top the eggs with 2 cups shredded Colby jack cheese. Finally, sprinkle 1/2 cup real bacon pieces evenly over the cheese.
- Place baking pan back into the oven (middle rack) and cook at 425F degrees for another 6-7 minutes until everything is warmed through and cheese is melted.
- Slice into 12 slices. Then serve while warm.
Notes
- Two cans of crescent roll dough sheets can be used instead of the pizza dough. Just make sure you push the seams together really well.
- I really like Libby’s Country Sausage Gravy in this recipe. It adds so much flavor. If you can’t find this canned sausage gravy, you can always purchase a packet of white pepper gravy and make it per the packet’s instructions or make my Homemade Sausage Gravy.
