Chorizo Breakfast Pizza Recipe
Description
This recipe begins by unrolling crescent roll dough in a pan to form a makeshift pizza crust, sealing edges to create a retaining rim. Spicy chorizo sausage is cooked with diced onions then spread evenly over the dough. An egg and milk mixture seasoned with salt and pepper is poured carefully over the chorizo to fill the center without overflowing the crust edge. Shredded cheddar cheese is sprinkled on top before baking at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes.
The baking yields a golden crust supporting a cooked egg layer mingled with chorizo and onion flavors plus melted cheese. The dish offers a balance of rich, spicy sausage and creamy, firm baked eggs with the flaky crescent dough providing texture contrast.
Optional toppings such as diced tomato, avocado, cilantro, green onion, salsa, and sour cream allow personalization. This dish works well for brunch or any meal requiring a flavorful, hearty savory pie.
Ingredients
- 2 crescent roll dough use the sheet kind, in tubes
- 16 ounces chorizo sausage
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 8 egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Optional Toppings:
- diced tomato
- avocado diced
- cilantro chopped
- green onion chopped
- salsa
- sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll dough on top of the parchment paper, lining up the edges and sealing with your fingers. Push the dough against the sides of the pan to make a bit of crust to hold in all the toppings.
- Cook the chorizo with the diced onion in a large skillet over medium high heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks for about 8 minutes. Sprinkle the cooked chorizo over the top of the crescent dough.
- In a medium sized bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and salt and pepper. Pour in the center of the pan over the chorizo and crescent dough, allowing it to run to the edges of the pan. You may need to turn the pan a bit to get the eggs evenly distributed. Try to avoid pouring the eggs directly around the edges because it may leak over the crust and you want to keep it contained! Sprinkle the top with the shredded cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is set. Slice and serve with the toppings. Enjoy!
