   • Season with salt and pepper.

5. Finish and serve:
   • Sprinkle with fresh herbs, slice, and serve warm.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 6 servings. Preparation takes 15 minutes, and baking takes about 12 minutes. The total time is approximately 25–30 minutes.

Variations

• Gravy Base: Use sausage gravy instead of olive oil for a Southern-style breakfast pizza.
• Veggie Lovers: Add spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, or zucchini.
• Spicy Kick: Use jalapeños or spicy chorizo for extra heat.
• Cheesy Overload: Combine mozzarella, cheddar, and pepper jack for maximum flavor.
• Healthy Option: Use whole-wheat crust and turkey sausage.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake slices in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 minutes, or heat in a skillet until warm and crispy. You can also freeze cooked pizza slices for up to 2 months; reheat directly from frozen in the oven.

FAQs

Definitely — pre-made crusts save time and still taste great.

Skip the meat and load up with vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes.

9. Can I freeze breakfast pizza?
