Hashbrown Breakfast Pizza

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.

 My family loved having a delicious, warm, cheesy breakfast! I love how easy it was to make. It was such a big hit that I am going to make it for dinner one night when everyone is home to enjoy it.

Also, with the holidays just around the corner, this would be a great meal to serve overnight guests!

  1. I tried this and thought the crust was too thin. You really couldn’t taste any of the hash browns. If it has worked for you can you tell me the size of hash browns you used and size of your stone? I read the comments and it said 3 1/2 cups of hash browns which I used (16 oz). Just wondering if I increase the amount of hash browns if they will cook thru.

    • Hi Emily,
      That’s a tough one! I also struggle with how much food to make. I would cut this into 8 pieces. One piece is enough for me but my teenagers and husband would probably eat 2 pieces each. So, if I were making just this for breakfast for 18 adults, I would make 4 of these. If there are lots of kids, you can cut back on that. Also, if you are serving additional items like fruit, toast, cinnamon rolls or yogurt, guests might only eat one piece of this breakfast pizza along with other items.
      Merry Christmas!

  3. This is so good! I have made this at least a dozen times. I make this on a cookie sheet and I do not pre-cook the eggs. I only cook it a second time for 15 min. Maybe because I use a cookie sheet and it makes the dish thinner it doesn’t need to cook as long.

    • My Grandson loves smoked sausage do I sliced the sausage thin and used the sausage with Hatch Green Chili in it (I’ve also used the Jalapeño one which adds a great kick.) The round sausages look like Pepperoni. I put it on top of the pizza. It was delicious!

  6. Sounds wonderful! Silly question, but I assume when you say “scramble the eggs” you mean to scramble them & cook them also? I only ask because my recipe uses raw, scrambled eggs, but hash browns on top, so getting soggy would not be an issue. Thanks for your time!

  8. It would be great to have the photo of the food on the recipe. So many times I forget just what the end is going to look like and the photo helps alot.

  14. I just made this and let me tell you, this is so good!!! thanks so much for sharing! I changed things a little because I read Rosemary Davis comment and it sounded good. Thank you!

  15. I just made this recipe on my pizza stone with a few changes:
    1/2 bag frozen hash browns and thawed in the microwave.
    Melt 2T butter in larger bowl – add hash browns to butter -add salt and pepper to taste and mix by hand. Pat it out on pizza stone -not too thick
    Baked at 425 on pizza stone for 25 min.
    While baking I fried ground sausage with chopped frozen onion and chopped red peppers – then let it set to drain in fine strainer.
    Scramble 4 eggs seasoned with garlic salt – but leave them very soft.
    Top hash browns with sausage mixture, then top with softly scrambled eggs.
    Sprinkle with shredded Mexican style cheese.
    Bake 15 minutes.
    It was wonderful.

  19. Can you use fresh potatoes that are grated as hash browns? I realize that this post is a commercial for Simply Potatoes but we prefer to use fresh unprocessed ingredients when possible. The recipe looks great.

  21. I made this on Christmas morning and it was a hit! I used half a bag of frozen hash browns (for those who asked about in previous posts) and it came out perfect. I also just scrambled the egg and poured the egg over the crust once baked and added the toppings and baked again as instructed instead of of scrambling and cooking prior to baking a second time. The result was very tasty. Thank you for sharing this recipe, it’s a keeper for sure!!

  23. OMG!!! Just made this for our breakfast and it is delicious!!! Not a single crumb left! I played with the toppings on it for each persons like or dislike and we all just loved it! Will be on the menu for Christmas night breakfast!

  24. Why does it have to be baked for so long the second time? Don’t the eggs get rubbery after continuing to cook for another 25 minutes? Have you e er tried adding any veggies like onion, peppers? I love crunchy hashbrowns and this sounds neat!

    Reply

    • I like the hashbrowns to be well done, the cheese has to melt and the ham has to get hot. My eggs did not get rubbery because they were covered with cheese. I have not tried adding veggies because my family is picky but I would love it!

  26. have you made this ahead? i wanted to bring it for christmas morning to my grandma’s house but i won’t get there until 11 am, do ou think it would hold up if i made the crust and toppings ahead of time, stored them seperately and had her put it al together and bake that morning?

  28. New to using frozen hash browns. Should I thaw them first for this dish…can’t tell and similar recipes with them vary. Excited to make these! I am dipping it in ranch!

    • My hash browns were not frozen, they are from the dairy department of the grocery store. I haven’t tried making this pizza with frozen hash browns. Let me know how it goes! ~Tonia

  29. This sounds and looks delicious! I’ve just started reading your blog and love it!
    Have you ever tried a “sauce”? I love country gravy and can’t help to picture it on this pizza! Can’t wait to try! Thanks!!
