- 1 cheddar cheese
- 1 hash brown potatoes
- 1 parmesan cheese
- 1/4 eggs
- 5 milk

- pepper
Method
Brown and break up sausage, drain well. Roll out crust on a nonstick cookie sheet (with sides). Layer sausage, hash browns, and cheddar. Whisk in the milk with the eggs and season. Pour on the pizza. Add parmesan and bake in a 350 degree oven until eggs are set and crust is done, 20-25 minutes.
Easy swaps
- Instead of 1 sausage, use 1/2 lb ground turkey or plant-based sausageFor a leaner or vegetarian option, swap in your favorite alternative.
- Instead of 1 cheddar cheese, use 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey JackUse any melting cheese for a similar gooey texture.
- Instead of 1/4 eggs, use 1 whole egg + 1/4 cup liquid egg substituteIf scaling up, use 3 whole eggs for the full amount.
- Instead of 5 milk, use 5 tbsp half-and-half or unsweetened almond milkDairy-free milk works, but may slightly alter richness.
Frequently asked
Can I use pre-shredded hash browns?
Yes, frozen shredded hash browns (thawed and patted dry) work perfectly. Avoid thawed ones with excess moisture to prevent a soggy crust.
How do I make the crust from scratch?
Use a store-bought pizza dough or a simple homemade dough (flour, yeast, water, salt). Roll it thin for a crispier base.
Can I add vegetables?
Absolutely! Diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach can be sautéed and added with the sausage for extra nutrition and flavor.
Why pour the egg mixture over the pizza?
The egg-milk blend sets as it bakes, binding the toppings together and creating a quiche-like texture that makes each slice hold together.
