Casey’s Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Introduction

Casey’s Breakfast Pizza is a delicious way to start your day with a hearty, flavorful twist. Combining sausage gravy, nacho cheese sauce, eggs, and crispy bacon on individual pizza crusts, it’s perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

• 2 individual pizza crusts
• 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
• 1/2 cup sausage gravy
• 4 large eggs (scrambled)
• 1/3 lb pork sausage (browned)
• 2-3 slices bacon (cooked and chopped)
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
• Olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Step 2: Lightly brush each pizza crust with olive oil to prevent sogginess and add flavor.
3. Step 3: On the first crust, spread the sausage gravy evenly. Top with chopped bacon, half the scrambled eggs, half the mozzarella cheese, and half the cheddar cheese.
4. Step 4: On the second crust, spread the nacho cheese sauce evenly. Top with browned sausage, the remaining scrambled eggs, mozzarella, and cheddar cheeses.
5. Step 5: Bake both pizzas in the oven at 450 degrees for 8 minutes.
6. Step 6: Switch your oven to broil on low and broil the pizzas for 4 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starts to brown.
7. Step 7: Alternatively, place the pizzas in an air fryer set at 450 degrees and cook for 5 minutes for a quicker option.
8. Step 8: Remove from oven or air fryer, slice the pizzas, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, pre-bake the crusts for 3 minutes before adding toppings.
• Swap pork sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
• Add diced bell peppers or onions to the sausage for added freshness and texture.
• Use a mix of sharp and mild cheddar for richer flavor.

Storage

Store leftover breakfast pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-7 minutes to keep the crust crisp.

FAQs

Can I prepare this pizza ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the pizzas and refrigerate them uncovered for a few hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

What can I substitute for nacho cheese sauce?

Pizza Bases

• 2 individual pizza crusts

Sauces

• 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
• 1/2 cup sausage gravy

Protein

• 4 large eggs (scrambled)
• 1/3 lb pork sausage (browned)
• 2–3 slices bacon (cooked and chopped)

Cheeses

• 1 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)

Other

• Olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the pizzas quickly and evenly.
2. Prepare the Crusts: Lightly brush each individual pizza crust with olive oil to enhance browning and prevent sogginess.
3. Assemble First Pizza: Spread the sausage gravy evenly over one pizza crust. Top with cooked and chopped bacon, half of the scrambled eggs, and half each of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
4. Assemble Second Pizza: On the other crust, spread the nacho cheese sauce, then layer browned pork sausage, the remaining scrambled eggs, and the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly.
5. Bake: Place both pizzas on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven at 450°F for 8 minutes to cook and melt the toppings thoroughly.
6. Broil: After baking, switch the oven to low broil and broil the pizzas for about 4 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and slightly browned on top.
7. Alternative Air Fryer Method: If preferred, air fry the assembled pizzas at 450°F for 5 minutes, which provides a quicker cooking option with a crispy crust and melty cheese.
8. Slice and Serve: Remove pizzas from the oven or air fryer, slice into portions, and serve hot for a satisfying breakfast treat.

Notes

• Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your oven or air fryer model; keep an eye on the cheese browning.
• Use pre-cooked bacon and browned sausage to ensure they are fully cooked before baking.
• Scrambled eggs should be cooked just before assembling so they remain moist and fresh in the pizza.
• For spicier flavor, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the sausage gravy or nacho cheese sauce.
• Leftover breakfast pizza can be refrigerated and gently reheated in an oven or air fryer for best texture.
