Breakfast Crescent Pizza

A savory, quick breakfast pizza built on crescent roll dough with sausage, cheese, and baked eggs.
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (such as Jimmy Dean) cooked and crumbled
  • 1 8-ounce can refrigerated crescent roll dough unrolled and seams pressed to seal
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cajun or Creole seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup jarred Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 5 large eggs for cracking into indentations
  • 2 stalks green onions sliced, for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Cook and crumble the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet and press along perforations to seal and stretch slightly into a single rectangle.
  • Stir together the melted butter, Cajun (or Creole) seasoning, and garlic powder, then brush the mixture evenly over the dough.
  • Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese on top.
  • Evenly scatter the cooked, crumbled sausage over the cheese layer.
  • Bake the topped dough for 6 to 7 minutes until the crust just begins to set.
  • Use a spoon to make five shallow indentations in the pizza, pushing sausage aside to form small wells, then crack one egg into each indentation.
  • Return to the oven and bake 8 to 10 minutes more, or until the egg whites are set to your liking.
  • Remove from the oven, sprinkle sliced green onions over the pizza, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • You can use crescent roll dough or a crescent roll sheet; press seams to seal if needed.
