Recipe FAQs

→ Can I make this breakfast pizza ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the components in advance and assemble just before baking for the best texture.

→ What type of sausage works best?

Pre-cooked sausage crumbles like Jimmy Dean are ideal, but you can also brown bulk sausage and drain it well.

→ Can I substitute the crescent rolls?

Yes, puff pastry or homemade dough can be used, but the crescent rolls offer quick preparation and a flaky texture.

→ How do I prevent the eggs from overcooking?

Scramble them until slightly creamy on the stove; they'll finish cooking in the oven during the final bake.

→ Is this dish freezer-friendly?

While best fresh, you can freeze slices after baking. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crust’s texture.
