Make this sunny side up Hash Brown Breakfast Pizza for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner. Whichever you choose, it's always a winner!
I haven't shared a breakfast pizza recipe in quite a few years, so I thought it was time to come up with something new.
The last one I shared, I called Easy Breakfast Pizza, and it dates back to 2011.

OR you can hit the "jump to recipe" button (found above) to be taken directly to the recipe.
The ingredient list:
- pop-tube crescent rolls (you know the ones)
- frozen shredded hash browns
- American cheese slices
- eggs
- butter
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- diced ham
- chopped scallions
Kitchen tools and equipment needed:
- baking sheet
- large skillet
- slotted spatula
- chef's knife
- cutting board
- kitchen timer
- whisk
- tablespoon
Why this recipe works:
This hash brown and egg breakfast can feed several hungry people, it's extremely delicious, and everyone loves it!
Does this breakfast pizza reheat well?
The night I made this pizza (we had it for dinner), and I wasn't feeding several hungry people. It was only my husband and myself. Don't judge. LOL
My point in telling you that was because this savory breakfast pizza reheated very well the very next day when my husband took to work for lunch.
Naturally, the egg yolks were no longer runny due to the reheat, but he said it still tasted great!
We got several successful reheats out of it!
However, if you don't like leftovers, and you don't have a lot of people to feed, invite some over and have a hash brown breakfast pizza party!! 🙂
What type of toppings to use?
Since I had some leftover ham in the fridge, that's what I used.
But if you'd like to add some pre-cooked bacon or sausage to your breakfast pizza instead of ham, by all means, go for it.
Or, if you'd like to leave the meat off entirely, do it! It's your pizza, make it your way!
Or, how about adding some sautéed vegetables if the mood strikes? I'm actually rather surprised I didn't add any in the first place... I must be slipping. LOL
How to make hash brown breakfast pizza:
- Roll out two tubes of pop crescent dough onto a 13" x 9" baking sheet.
- Partially bake the dough in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the crust from the oven and top evenly with slices of American cheese (or your favorite variety of cheese).
- While the crust is parbaking, heat a large skillet over medium/high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 2 tablespoons butter.
- Add one package (30 ounces) of frozen shredded hash browns that have been partially thawed.
- Allow the potatoes to cook in the skillet for 5 minutes before stirring.
- While the potatoes are cooking, dice up two cups of ham.
- Stir the potatoes and add 1 teaspoon coarse salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and the ham.
- Stir and continue cooking an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Spread the cooked potatoes and ham evenly over the prepared crescent crust with cheese.
- Make 8 wells in the hash brown topping and carefully crack 8 eggs into each of the wells.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Bake the Hash Brown Breakfast pizza for an additional 20-25 until the eggs are your desired doneness.
- Top the pizza with chopped scallions if desired and serve immediately.

I don’t usually leave comments on recipes. I figured this one would be a big hit or a big miss, honestly. I was pretty skeptical. It was a WAY bigger hit than I could’ve hoped for! ☺️ it’s hard to find meals that my toddler and I both love. I subbed the ham for breakfast sausage and skipped the eggs, and we love it! Thank you!
Renée says
