This delicious recipe for breakfast pizza with a hash brown crust can be made for breakfast or as an easy dinner. It is topped with bacon, ham, and cheese. This post brought to you by Simply Potatoes. All opinions are 100% mine.
Growing up, one of our favorite things to have for dinner was breakfast! We loved anything from pancakes to waffles and French toast to fried eggs. French toast was my dad’s specialty and it is what he would make us on those rare occasions when my mom wasn’t home to make dinner.
My husband and kids love breakfast any time of the day. Our favorites include omelets, egg bakes, pancakes and breakfast sandwiches. And of course, everyone’s favorite side dish is breakfast potatoes!
Potatoes are kid-friendly because they taste good. Mom’s love them because they are easy to prepare and it is a great way to sneak in some nutrition!
This recipe starts with Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns. Simply Potatoes are my go-to potatoes for family breakfast solutions.
I also use them in casseroles and when I make soups like my slow cooker chicken pot pie soup. I love the convenience! There’s nothing to peel or shred and I save on dishes.

So here it is, Thanksgiving morning- I’m making food for later but made this to tide us over- so easy and delicious! I can’t stand when people review a recipe and give all the changes they made- but guess what 🤦♀️- here I go. To start with I had 2 16 Oz bags of hash browns. Yep- used both. Thawed them and pressed moisture out. Pressed them down on a 16” pizza stone. Baked according to recipe. Then I scrambled 5 eggs- maybe not quite all the way- and put them on crust. I didn’t have bacon so I cooked about 7 link sausages, cut them up and spread on pizza. Topped with a leftover Mexican shredded cheese blend on one side and slices of Pepper Jack on the other. It’s all about using what I had. My family of 4 loved this! Highly recommend!
