Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your Bacon and Egg Pizza will cook evenly and come out with a golden, crispy crust.
-
Prepare the crescent roll dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough into one long rectangle. This dough serves as the base for your pizza and adds a deliciously buttery texture.
-
Fit dough into the baking pan: Press the dough into a greased 13×9-inch baking pan. Make sure to press the dough onto the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan to create a crust-like border. Seal any seams or perforations to ensure a smooth, even surface for your toppings.
-
Assemble the toppings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the bacon, frozen hash brown potatoes, shredded cheese, eggs, and milk. Stir everything together until well combined. The bacon adds a crispy texture, the hash browns give it a hearty bite, and the cheese melts perfectly into the mix.
-
Pour the mixture onto the dough: Once your toppings are ready, pour the egg mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough in the baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, ensuring the filling covers the dough completely.
-
Add extra cheese: Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top of the mixture. This will create a deliciously crispy, cheesy crust as it bakes.
-
Bake to perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The pizza is ready when the eggs are fully set, and the edges of the crust are golden and slightly crisp.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into 8 generous portions. This Bacon and Egg Pizza makes the perfect centerpiece for any brunch or breakfast gathering.
Tips for the Best Bacon and Egg Pizza
- Customize the toppings: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to suit your taste.

- Fresh herbs: Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for an added burst of color and flavor.
