Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
3 large eggs
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
1/4 cup milk or cream
1/4 cup bell peppers, diced
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
I start by preheating the oven to 200°C (400°F) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
I roll out the puff pastry slightly and place it on the prepared baking sheet. I gently score a small border around the edges to help it puff nicely while baking.
In a bowl, I whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. I lightly brush the pastry with olive oil, then pour the egg mixture over the center, keeping it within the border.
I sprinkle cheese, sausage, bell peppers, and green onions evenly over the top.
I bake it for about 15–20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the eggs are set. I let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Servings and timing
I usually get about 4 servings from this recipe.
Preparation time takes around 10 minutes, and baking time is 15–20 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes swap the meat for smoked salmon or keep it vegetarian with mushrooms and spinach. When I want extra flavor, I add herbs like thyme or parsley. I also like using different cheeses such as feta or goat cheese.
storage/reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, I use the oven to keep the pastry crisp rather than using a microwave.
FAQs
Can I use store-bought puff pastry?
I usually use store-bought puff pastry, and it works perfectly.
Can I make this ahead of time?
I prefer baking it fresh, but I can prepare the toppings in advance.
What other toppings can I add?
I like adding spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes for variety.
How do I keep the pastry from getting soggy?
I avoid overfilling and make sure the oven is fully preheated.
Can I make it vegetarian?
Yes, I simply skip the meat and add more vegetables.
Conclusion
I find this puff pastry breakfast pizza to be an easy and delicious way to elevate my breakfast routine. It’s flaky, flavorful, and endlessly customizable, making it a go-to recipe whenever I want something quick yet impressive.
