Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • For the Crust
  • 1 (8 oz) can crescent dough sheet (or regular crescent rolls, pressed together)
  • For the Toppings
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk (or cream)
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste black pepper
  • 1/2 cup pre-cooked breakfast sausage crumbles (or bacon bits)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives or green onions (for garnish, optional)
  • A drizzle hot sauce (optional)

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Pizza cutter or knife

Method
 

  1. Carefully unroll the crescent dough sheet onto a piece of parchment paper cut to fit your air fryer basket or tray. If using regular crescent rolls, unroll and press seams together to form a solid rectangle. Prick the dough several times with a fork to prevent excessive puffing.
  2. Optional Pre-bake: For a crispier base, place the parchment-lined dough into the air fryer basket/tray. Air fry at 325°F (160°C) for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly golden and slightly firm. Remove from air fryer and set aside.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the pre-baked (or raw, if skipping pre-bake) crescent crust. Sprinkle the pre-cooked sausage crumbles and diced bell pepper over the eggs.
  5. Carefully transfer the assembled pizza (on parchment paper) back into the air fryer. Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 7-10 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set.
  6. Open the air fryer and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and toppings. Continue to air fry at 300°F (150°C) for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  7. Carefully remove the pizza from the air fryer. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh chives or green onions, and serve with hot sauce if desired.

Notes

For a larger breakfast pizza, this recipe can be doubled and baked on a baking sheet in a conventional oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until crust is golden and eggs are set.
Customize with your favorite breakfast toppings: cooked bacon, ham, spinach, mushrooms, or different cheeses.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
