Expert Tips

FAQs
Can I use a different type of sausage?
Yes, turkey sausage or plant-based sausage are great alternatives.
Can these be made in advance?
You can prepare the toppings ahead of time, but it’s best to assemble and bake the pizzas fresh.
Can I freeze these breakfast pizzas?
Yes, assemble the pizzas without baking, then freeze them individually. Bake straight from frozen, adding 3–5 minutes to the cooking time.
Storing & Reheating
- To Store: Refrigerate leftover pizzas in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To Reheat: Warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Substitutions & Variations
- Vegetarian Option: Skip the sausage and add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or diced tomatoes.
- Low-Carb Option: Use cauliflower crusts instead of traditional pizza crusts.
- Breakfast for Dinner: Pair these pizzas with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
