A real pizza dough and a good sausage make this more than a gimmick. Everything hinges on when the eggs go on. Par-bake the crust with its toppings first, then crack the eggs on partway through so they finish just as the yolks are still soft.

The Ingredients — and where to get them
Cook for1pizza
Pizza dough
A real fermented dough bakes up crisp and blistered under the toppings.
Heat the ovenPut a stone or steel in the oven and heat to 500F for at least 30 minutes.
Brown the sausageCrumble and cook the sausage in a hot pan until browned and cooked through, then drain.
Top and par-bakeStretch the dough, top with cheese and sausage, and bake 6 to 7 minutes until the crust is setting and the cheese melts.
Add the eggsPull the pizza out, crack the eggs into wells in the cheese, and return to the oven 4 to 5 minutes until whites set and yolks are still soft.
FinishScatter scallions and a pinch of salt over the top and slice.
Can you make Breakfast Pizza in an air fryer? — Yes
Yes — this is exactly what an air fryer does well. Work in a single layer so the air can move, and shake or flip halfway for even crisping. It runs a touch faster than the oven, so check early.
Can you freeze Breakfast Pizza? — Not ideal
You can, but the crisp coating softens. Freeze the cooked pieces, then re-crisp them in a hot oven or air fryer — never the microwave.
Can you make Breakfast Pizza ahead of time? — Prep ahead
Best fried to order — the crunch fades if it sits. Do the breading or shaping ahead and cook it fresh when you serve.
Is Breakfast Pizza gluten-free? — Not as written
Not as written — it contains gluten. Make it gluten-free: swap in gluten-free versions of the wheat items (check the other labels too).
Is Breakfast Pizza vegan? — No
No — it contains meat, so it isn’t vegetarian or vegan.
