Description
A creative twist on breakfast, this Sausage Breakfast Pizza combines the hearty flavors of sausage and eggs with gooey cheese on a crispy crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 oz (1 link) sweet Italian sausage
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 onion, finely diced
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 3 oz shredded fontina cheese
- 2 oz shredded pecorino romano cheese
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 recipe artisan pizza dough (one 15 oz dough ball)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500°F with a pizza steel or stone inside for 45 minutes.
- Prepare the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil until browned and crispy (about 10-12 minutes). Remove and drain.
- Caramelize the onions in the same pan, reducing heat to medium, and sauté until softened (about 10 minutes), then continue cooking until golden brown (another 10 minutes).
- Prep the eggs by cracking them into small bowls and seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Shape the dough into a disk on a floured surface, leaving a 1-inch thick lip around the edges, adjusting to a 12-inch circle.
- Assemble the pizza by spreading pizza sauce over the dough, adding cheese, sausage, and onions.
- Add the eggs by creating small wells and cracking an egg into each.
- Bake the pizza on the hot steel or stone for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and eggs are cooked.
- Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
For an extra crispy crust, use a preheated cast iron skillet. Experiment with different toppings and substitutions for a personalized touch.
