How to Make This Recipe
To make this recipe, start by cooking the sausage patties in a skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes on each side until they’re fully browned and cooked through.
Remove the patties and, in the same skillet, cook the hash browns in olive oil or butter until golden and crispy, about 5–6 minutes.
Once done, set the hash browns aside and fry the eggs to your liking—sunny-side-up or over-easy both work beautifully for this dish.
Next, preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the pizza dough rounds on the sheet, then layer each with a cooked sausage patty, a scoop of crispy hash browns, and one-third cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake the assembled pizza burgers for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dough is golden.
Once out of the oven, top each with a fried egg and finish with a drizzle of maple syrup or hot sauce. Serve immediately for best results.

Ingredients You’ll Need
To create this mouthwatering breakfast burger, gather the following ingredients:
Four breakfast sausage patties, two cups of shredded hash browns, and four eggs are essential for the main components.
You’ll also need mini pizza dough rounds or naan, olive oil or butter for cooking, and a cup of shredded cheese, either cheddar or mozzarella.
Don’t forget the maple syrup for drizzling and chives for garnish to add a fresh touch.
Preparation Steps

Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add olive oil or butter, then toss in the shredded hash browns.
Cook until they are crispy and golden brown, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking the Eggs
In a separate pan, scramble the eggs until they reach your desired consistency.
Season the eggs with salt and pepper for added flavor.
Once the eggs are cooked, it’s time to assemble the burgers.
Assembling the Burger
On each mini pizza dough round or naan, layer the crispy hash browns, followed by a breakfast sausage patty, and then the scrambled eggs.
Top everything off with a generous amount of shredded cheese.
To melt the cheese, place the assembled burgers under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Serving Suggestions
Once the cheese is melted, drizzle the burgers with maple syrup and garnish with chopped chives for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve the Breakfast Pizza Burgers on a rustic wooden board alongside a side of fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
This dish not only satisfies your breakfast cravings but also offers a unique and enjoyable dining experience.
- Serve with a fresh fruit salad or smoothie for a balanced breakfast.
. - Add a mimosa or coffee to elevate your brunch game.
. - Include a small green salad with lemon vinaigrette to contrast the richness.
Tips for the Best Breakfast Pizza Burger
For the crispiest hash browns, make sure the skillet is hot and the potatoes are dry before cooking.
Don’t overcook the egg if you want that rich, runny yolk! Bake the assembled pizza burger just until the cheese melts and crust crisps—watch closely to avoid over-baking.
Finish with your choice of drizzle: maple syrup for sweet, hot sauce for heat, or both for an unexpected twist.
