• 1/2 cup breakfast sausage (or turkey sausage, cooked and crumbled)
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

(Note: The full ingredient list with measurements is provided in the recipe card below.)

Instructions

Let’s get cooking!

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or pizza stone with olive oil. If you’re using store-bought pizza dough, follow the package instructions for any pre-baking directions.

Step 2: Prepare the Pizza Dough

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it reaches your desired size—usually about 12 inches in diameter. Place the dough on the greased baking sheet or pizza stone.

Step 3: Scramble the Eggs

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs in the pan. Cook them until they’re just set but still soft and creamy. Set aside.

Step 4: Cook the Sausage

In the same skillet, cook the breakfast sausage (or turkey sausage) over medium heat until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set aside.

Step 5: Assemble the Pizza

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce (if using) over the pizza dough, leaving about 1 inch around the edges for the crust. Add the scrambled eggs on top of the sauce, followed by the cooked sausage. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Add grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Step 6: Bake the Pizza

Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Once the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs or green onions for added flavor and color.

Step 8: Enjoy!

Serve hot and enjoy this comforting, cheesy breakfast pizza. It’s perfect for the whole family to enjoy together!

How to Serve School Breakfast Pizza

This breakfast pizza is so delicious that you could serve it with just a side of fruit or a smoothie, but if you want to go the extra mile, here are some great ideas:

With Fresh Fruit:

Serve a side of fresh fruit such as berries, orange slices, or apple wedges. The sweetness of the fruit balances the savory pizza beautifully.

With a Smoothie:

Pair the pizza with a refreshing smoothie for a complete, balanced meal. You can make a green smoothie, berry smoothie, or even a classic banana smoothie!

As a Meal Prep Option:

This pizza is great for making in advance. Simply slice it up and store individual pieces in an airtight container in the fridge. You can reheat the pizza in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast during the week.

Additional Tips

Here are some tips to help you make the best School Breakfast Pizza:

Use Whole Wheat Dough for a Healthier Option:

If you want to make this pizza a little healthier, consider using whole wheat pizza dough. It adds fiber and nutrients while still giving you that delicious pizza crust texture.

Add Veggies:

To boost the nutritional value, add some veggies to the pizza. Bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes would all make great toppings. You can sauté them with the sausage or add them directly to the pizza.

Make it Spicy:

If you like a little heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top of the pizza before baking, or add some sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick.

Use a Pre-cooked Crust:

For even quicker preparation, use a pre-cooked pizza crust, which eliminates the need to bake the dough first. Just top it with your ingredients and bake for a shorter time—around 8-10 minutes.
