Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

• I used Jimmy Dean sausage. You can use any brand or flavor of sausage that you enjoy.
• For a lower-fat recipe, use turkey sausage, reduced-fat crescent rolls, and 1 cup of Egg Beaters.
• It is very important to make this pizza in a rimmed pizza pan. Press the dough up the sides of the pan and create a rim around the pizza. If you don’t, the egg will run off the crust and make a huge mess in the oven. Trust me on this one!
• Don’t have a rimmed pizza pan? You can bake this recipe in a 9×13-inch rimmed baking sheet.
• You can use any cheese that you prefer in this recipe. Cheddar, pepper jack, or mozzarella are all great.
• Can substitute Pillsbury pizza dough for crescent rolls.
• What other toppings can I add to the pizza crust?
  • green onions
  • green pepper
  • red bell pepper
  • white onion
  • olives
• Don’t like sausage, you can use your favorite breakfast meat instead. Leftover ham and bacon are equally delicious.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Reheat in the air fryer or in the oven.
