Breakfast Pizza With A Hashbrown Crust
Breakfast pizza with a hashbrown crust is a hearty morning meal featuring a crispy potato base topped with eggs, ham, and cheese. This fun twist on pizza layers flavors and textures for a savory treat for weekend brunches, holiday mornings, or just a playful way to feed a hungry crowd.
Pizza isn’t just for dinner, and this breakfast pizza proves it with every delicious bite.
Instead of a traditional crust, this recipe starts with refrigerated hashbrowns baked into a crispy crust to hold your favorite breakfast toppings.
The combination of a golden potato crust, fluffy eggs, melty cheese, and salty ham is a classic reinvented in a really fun way.
This makes it the perfect option for kids and picky eaters in general.
And it’s an ideal choice for brunches, holiday breakfasts, or mornings when you want something that feels a little extra special.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need one set of ingredients for the crust and another for the pizza itself.
For the crust you’ll need:
- Hash Browns– A 20 ounce refrigerated bag of hash browns.
- Eggs
- Spices– Seasoned salt and black pepper
And for the pizza itself you’ll need:
- Eggs and milk– To make scrambled eggs. Use whole milk (if you have it), for the fluffiest results.
- Cheese– The recipe calls for shredded cheddar but you can really use any cheese you like. Swiss or jack would be excellent substitutes.
- Ham– Diced ham. Use leftover ham from your holiday dinner, ham steak, or even diced ham lunch meat. Don’t want to use ham? Crumbled, cooked bacon or breakfast sausage would also be tasty.
- Green onions– Thinly sliced.
How to Make
Breakfast pizza with hashbrown crust is so easy to make.
Start by making the crust and whisk together 2 eggs, the hashbrowns, seasoned salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until everything’s evenly combined.
Put the crust mixture onto a circular pizza pan lined with parchment paper.
With clean hands spread, spread and press the mixture out into an even crust that fits the pan.
Bake the crust at 425° for 20 minutes.
While the crust bakes, whisk together the remaining eggs and milk.
Add them to a skillet over medium heat and let them cook until they are scrambled.
Once they are scrambled to your liking, take them off the heat, cover the pan, and set them aside until the crust is done.
When the crust is done, spread the scrambled eggs evenly out overtop the hot hashbrown crust.
Sprinkle the cheese evenly out overtop, followed by the diced ham.
Bake the breakfast pizza for another 8-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and everything’s heated through.
Sprinkle the green onions evenly out overtop.
Slice, serve warm, and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Let the breakfast pizza cool completely before transferring individual slices into an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Reheat them in a hot oven until they are warmed through.
Tips and Tricks

- Don’t have a circular pizza pan? That’s ok! Just line a baking sheet with parchment and form a circle shape for the crust, pressing it flat as you go.
