How to Make Bacon Breakfast Pizza

In a large pan over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until crumbly and no longer pink.
Push the cooked sausage to one side of the pan. To the other side, add the scrambled eggs and cook until fluffy.
Gently fold together the cooked sausage and the eggs. Set aside.
Roll out the pizza dough and top with the egg mixture, tater tots, bacon, and cheese.
Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has completely melted.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is breakfast pizza made of?

Breakfast pizza can look a little different depending on where you get it, but generally speaking, it’s made by topping a regular pizza crust with scrambled eggs, cheese, and some kind of breakfast meat like bacon or sausage. Sometimes breakfast pizzas are also topped with veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers and fun garnishes like salsa or hot sauce.

Does breakfast pizza have sauce?

You might notice when reading through this recipe that my sausage breakfast pizza doesn’t have any sauce! In fact, most breakfast pizza recipes omit the sauce. This is because there is so much moisture in the eggs, that adding sauce would cause your pizza to be soggy. Plus, I find that this dish is flavorful enough on its own. However, if you’re really itching to add some sauce to this pizza, I would recommend drizzling some sour cream, salsa, sausage gravy, or hot sauce over the top before serving.

Is breakfast pizza a Midwest thing?

Not strictly, no. Breakfast pizza is a popular dish in the Midwest, but you can also find this meal at restaurants all over the country. What makes Midwestern breakfast pizzas unique is that they feature a cheesy sauce instead of shredded cheddar cheese.

How to Serve and Store the Best Breakfast Pizza

This breakfast pizza is packed with protein but is lacking in the veggie department. To combat this, I recommend serving your breakfast pizza alongside some steamed broccoli, pan fried zucchini and mushrooms, chips and salsa, or even a green smoothie packed with spinach. You can also pair this unique breakfast dish with more classic sides like hashbrowns, oatmeal, and fresh fruit.

Any leftover breakfast pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. I find that you can reheat this pizza in the oven, air fryer, or microwave. Just be aware that the flavors in this leftover pizza will still be bold and delicious, but the texture will be a bit chewier.

Expert Tips and Tricks

Not a fan of scrambled eggs? You can top this pizza with whole raw eggs instead and watch them turn into perfectly fried eggs in the oven. The yolks will even be a little runny!
Don’t have any breakfast meats on hand? You can really use any kind of protein to top this pizza. Leftover chicken, steak, or even lunch meat will taste good on your homemade breakfast pizza.
I like the bite of a sharp cheddar cheese on this pizza, but feel free to use your favorite kind of melty cheese. Mozzarella, provolone, gouda, colby jack, and monterey jack all work well.
