What’s in Breakfast Pizza with Crescent Rolls?
Pizza for breakfast, anyone? This easy breakfast pizza recipe was sent down to us by the pizza gods themselves. It’s everything you love about pizza but in delicious breakfast form.
- Crescent Roll Dough: Buttery and flaky… the perfect base!
- Bacon: Adds a salty, umami flavor.
- Eggs: Fluffy scrambled eggs are the perfect topping.
- Milk: Makes the eggs rich and fluffy.
- Salt + Pepper: Seasons the eggs.
- Pizza Sauce: Adds a great acidic contrast to the heavy eggs and bacon. You could swap this for gravy for a more breakfast-y taste.
- Frozen Breakfast Potatoes: Round out the classic breakfast flavors.
- Mozzarella Cheese: The perfect light and creamy cheese for this pizza.
- Chives: Add a pop of color and freshness.
Pro Tip: If you can’t find crescent rolls, you can use regular pizza dough instead!
Variations on Crescent Breakfast Pizza
Like any kind of pizza, you can customize the toppings to your liking. Whether you want to swap out the bacon for breakfast sausage, use your favorite cheese (cheddar, gouda, or Swiss would be delish!), or add some veggies (mushrooms, onions, bell peppers), feel free to make this cheesy breakfast pizza your own!
What is breakfast pizza?
Breakfast pizza is a fun variation on traditional pizza. Here, we use crescent rolls as the dough for a buttery, breakfast-y flavor. Traditional pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese are used, but breakfast toppings such as eggs, bacon, and breakfast potatoes turn this pizza into a craveable breakfast!
Can I make crescent roll breakfast pizza round instead of rectangular?
You sure can! Simply roll out the crescent rolls, separate them into triangles at the seams, then lay the triangles into a circle and pinch the seams back together! You will be able to make two smaller breakfast pizzas this way!
Should crescent rolls be baked before adding toppings?
There’s no need to pre-bake the crescent roll crust here!
Do I need to cook toppings before adding them to crescent roll breakfast pizza?
It depends! Both the eggs and bacon need to be pre-cooked (as do any other meats you may choose to add), but the potatoes can be left frozen!
Can I freeze crescent roll breakfast pizza?
Absolutely! I recommend cutting the pizza into individual slices, then wrapping each slice tightly in plastic wrap before freezing!
How to Store and Reheat
You can cook the bacon and eggs up to 1 day in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Store leftover crescent roll breakfast pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, until warmed through.
How to Freeze
Freeze crescent roll breakfast pizza in individual slices tightly wrapped in 2 layers of plastic wrap and 1 layer of aluminum foil for up to 3 months. Reheat directly from frozen.
Serving Suggestions
If you’re looking for an easy breakfast idea to serve at your next weekend brunch, this crescent roll breakfast pizza is perfect! It serves a crowd and will be a guaranteed favorite at the table. You can also double up the recipe with different toppings to add some variety!
Serve this breakfast pizza as part of a brunch spread with Quiche Lorraine, croissant French toast bake, and/or pull apart breakfast sliders!

Ingredients
- 16 ounces refrigerated crescent roll dough Pillsbury recommended (2 (8-ounce) tubes)
- 8 slices raw bacon
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1½ cups frozen breakfast potatoes
- 2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onion
Equipment
Baking Sheet
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 10×15-inch baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Unroll the crescent roll doughs onto the pan and let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
16 ounces refrigerated crescent roll dough
While the crust is resting, fry the bacon until crispy, about 5-10 minutes. Crumble when cooled.
8 slices raw bacon
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together.
8 large eggs, ¼ cup milk, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Pour the egg mixture into a greased skillet, and gently scramble for a couple minutes.
Spread the crescent roll dough out on the sheet pan and up onto the sides, joining the two crusts into one, and pinching the seams together.
Spread the pizza sauce over the crust.
1 cup pizza sauce
Top with the eggs, bacon crumbles, breakfast potatoes, and mozzarella cheese.
1½ cups frozen breakfast potatoes, 2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
Bake the pizza for 25-30 minutes.
Finish with a sprinkle of chopped chives.
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Notes
- If you can’t find crescent rolls, you can use regular pizza dough instead!
- Feel free to swap the bacon for crumbled cooked breakfast sausage!
- In place of pizza sauce, try using sausage gravy instead!
- You can swap some or all of the mozzarella cheese for a different cheese, such as cheddar, gouda, or Swiss!
- Feel free to add veggies, such as chopped mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers!
- Be sure to fully cook the bacon before adding it to the pizza; undercooked bacon may not cook through as the pizza bakes and could make the pizza greasy.
- Undercook the scrambled eggs by a few minutes. They will continue to firm up in the oven!
- Take care not to add too much sauce, as this will lead to a soggy pizza.
- Freshly shredded cheese will melt better than pre-shredded.
Storage:Store crescent roll breakfast pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
