What Makes This Recipe So Good

This dish combines bold Mexican flavors with the comfort of a classic breakfast. It’s easy to customize and perfect for starting your day with a savory twist. The crispy crust paired with eggs, cheese, and spicy toppings makes every bite satisfying.

Step 1

Lightly heat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking sheet. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease. Spread the pizza dough out on the prepared pan, then spread a layer of nacho cheese sauce over the top. Next, evenly scatter the hash browns over the cheese, and sprinkle the cooked sausage on top.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salsa, and taco seasoning until everything is well combined. Melt some butter in a skillet over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 5 to 7 minutes. Let the eggs cool for a few minutes so they’re easier to handle, then spread them over the sausage layer. Finish by sprinkling the Mexican cheese blend over everything.

Step 3

Pop the pizza into the oven and bake until the crust turns golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly, roughly 15 to 20 minutes. Let it cool for a minute or two before slicing and serving.

Serving Advice

Serve with a side of fresh salsa or guacamole to add extra zest. A simple green salad or black beans also pair well and help balance the meal. Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing citrus juice.

Refrigeration Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or toaster oven to keep the crust crispy. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the crust soggy.
